This was Conner's game to lose. They could not keep Holmes out of the lane. They also did not seem to know what a rebound was at any point in the game.
Coach Kim continued to try and settle her team but that was not to be had. They played very nervous and at the final ticks the ball handler, I think O'Neil, drove into the lane for 2 instead of shooting for 3. I guess losing by 1 is better than 3 but she missed the shot anyway.
There was quite a bit of poor officiating as well, but that I think is expected this time of the year.
There is no one that will stop NDA in the 9th now that Conner is out. Really thought that the Cougars were going to be in the finals to try and stop the Pandas.
