Pathetic coaching/ defense by Houston. No pressure on any pass.
At least try to make it difficult.
They couldn't go to a press, which would have gotten broken for an easy two, and they didn't want to foul a shooter and put him the line for two, where Michigan had done well the last couple times going up there. They were more afraid of Abdur-Rahkman and his ability than they were Poole, who hadn't taken a shot all second half. Plus, they'd kept Abdur-Rahkman and Poole well off the three-point line and had a backdoor-two play covered. You can't cover everything and Poole hit a miracle fall-away three in the face of Davis who did everything right in getting high hands up without fouling Poole and possibly putting him on the line.
