However there have been instances that we were blocked well enough that we couldn't get anything to the goal until ~45 seconds to go, in which case we began shooting.

It really depends on how much quality defense is being played.
We experienced something like this at Battlecry this past weekend. The #1 alliance was captained by team 195 The Cyberknights and the #2 alliance by 1519 Mechanical MAYHEM. Both of these teams are extremely accurate full court shooters.

During the finals, 1519 used their blocker to prevent 195 from scoring across the field and when 195 transitioned to cycling 1519 stayed hard on their tail. This is one of the reasons the BC finals were so tight was that even though both alliances could put up close to 200 points the defense played by one FCS to another took a lot of points out of the game.
