- It is unclear why Jimmy isn't playing; the old coach died, but he is the best player in 40 years.
- The South Bend coach, up four in the final minute with no shot clock, called a play instead of holding the ball and never called timeouts, one of the worst coaching moments.
- Maybe overconfidence set in; the South Bend guards are a mess.
- Coach Dale diagramming the final play away from Jimmy, the thrown-away Chitwood hiatus, and Buddy reappearing after about 15 minutes.
- Shooter's pre-online scouting while hungover is unexplained, prompting a 'Shooter the Scout' spinoff joke.
