A game Troy should've won. Rigby is a great coach and I know this team will have a great season, but was I the only one in the arena thinking "MILK THE CLOCK"?
I believe if Rigby would've began milking the clock at the 3 minute mark, Troy would've sealed the win, even if Troy wouldn't have scored another point. I know she isn't a fan of that philosophy and she wants to run her fast pace system, but geez.

I know she isn't a fan of that philosophy and she wants to run her fast pace system, but geez. There were at least two of us there on the same page. I'm no basketball keyboard coach by any means, but at the 3' mark we were up 6 and had the ball 3-4 times. I expected the Lady Trojans to bleed the 30 second shot clock, then work it in for a better odds shot. In each case, we were impatient and took lesser odds shots, sinking none. I think we let the ball get away from us at least once. Yessir, I was thinking, clock management, ball control/management and we would seal the W. Credit to the Lady Raiders, they took full advantage of every turnover in that last 3. But what do I know??

Overheard coach on MTSU bench saying "they will let us back in it. They won't drain the clock."
He turned out to be correct. Tough end to a really good game.

Rigby has won 500 + games. I think she knows what she's doing I agree. However, one can know what they're doing and still make a strategic error that proves costly. That doesn't mean they're bad at what they do, just that they made an error.

Coach Rigsby was at Pensacola JUCO prior to this and watched her there and at Troy. Never ever saw her sit on the clock. Go go go is how she coaches and always has.

I really don’t think coach had ever practiced it.

I really don’t think coach had ever practiced it. I'm a big fan of both Coach Rigby and her offense. However it does have a fatal flaw and we are discussing it. It is fast paced and relies on high percentage shots a lot. When the team is hot it is lethal but when it's not (last few minutes of the game here) it provides quick turnovers for the other team. Running this offense the whole game would be like UCF, Oklahoma or West Virginia scoring 57 points and having a 6 point lead and refusing to take victory formation at the end saying we run our offense no matter what...throwing a pick and losing by one. Hope we learn and I have faith Coach will. The job she has done at Troy is amazing
