You’re right. Tavari gets a lot of attention when talking about young players with potential, but Lyles contributes pretty solid as a big man true freshman.
I think it started here down 51-49 with 1:37 left:
1:37Foul on Tyler Cheese.5149
Of course we have no way to confirm if it was intentional or not without video

Maybe at one point, but I'm pretty sure we intentionally gave them FTs in a one score game with adequate time left to get a shot off after their possession.
Haven't seen it announced anywhere, but 247 is showing Tony Grimes as being in the portal.

I got into a little back and forth with another Zips fan at the end of that game. If my memory is correct, Groce was fouling when he didn't need to (it was still a 1 possession game with appropriate time left). Didn't make sense to me and still doesn't, but it worked out. Sweet watching X hit that game winner.
