While fouling when they needed a 3 with under 10 seconds was the play, you can almost certainly survive as long as you don't collapse on the driver and give up an open 3. Either foul, or don't collapse on the driver. The only way to lose that game, short of a miracle circus shot, is to elect to not foul and then elect to chase the ball and leave the open 3. Mizzou somehow did just that.
Poor coaching? Low player basketball IQ? Total choke in the clutch? Not sure which it was. But, a lot had to go wrong for that outcome to have happened. And that doesn't even get into giving Mitchell the ball 35 feet from the basket so he can step out of bounds. Very disappointing to had Vandy a win.
