SHU was on fire yesterday. They were on the roll. They were on a big run where everything was going right on both ends of the floor.
With 12:38 left in the second half, Whitehead hit a 3-pointer to put the Pirates ahead by 19, 61-42.
So what does Willard do? He immediately calls a timeout.
End of the run. End of the rally. Momentum killed.
The Pirates proceed to play like total krap for extended parts of the rest of the game. Coincidence? I think SHU fouled on something like 10 of Creighton's next 12 possessions. And they suddenly could not score.
Why does Willard do that? They were 38 seconds from the next media TO.
