Basketball is a funny sport.  Last night Trinity couldn't hit the broad side of a barn (4/24 from three), forgot how to shoot free throws (9-20 including a even more dreadful 6-17 in the second half where they also missed the front end of several one-and-ones), were outrebounded 51-36, but even then fought back and trailing one had a chance to take the last shot for the win.  Unfortunately that shot was forced early (8 seconds remained), was rebounded by the Comets, and they (of course) hit the resulting free throws to secure a four-point win. 

Besides the dismal shooting performance, Trinity could not keep UT-D off the offensive glass (20 OR), and the numerous second-chance opportunities on the Comets' final possession eventually resulted in the three that gave them the one-point lead before the final sequence. 

Trinity is a young team (only one of the three seniors, Tanner Brown, is a starter) and made plenty of youthful mistakes last night.  It will be interesting to see what lessons were learned next season.
