I still remember the NCAA game where the Georgetown player was fouled all the way in the backcourt running down the sidelines with little to no time on the clock and sent to the line with the game on the line. Coulda, shoulda, woulda.....and as I recall he was the best free throw shooter in the school's history!
Well said.

I've always said that people most remember the first 3 minutes and the last 3 minutes. People remember how you set the tone of the game, and how you finish the game.
