Incidentally, Millet said his ifrategy of waiving foul shots in the CCNY game backfired primarily pri-marily because the Cougars were unable to control the ball. "We wanted to try out the atrategy against CCNY because they are a fast-breaking team and you can beat that kind of team if you can control the ball," he said.
