No idea.

But, having come up with solutions when I have been in impossible desperate situations, I believe they could have, might have, too.

‘Neccessity is the mother of invention’ would apply. Maybe they could not have helped themselves but at least they could have tried.

I would want the chance.

The "chance" came too late for them, with EVA tile patch kits, etc. Not a NASA guy, but I am pretty sure the jig was up for the crew. Other than some half-assed escape schemes for the ascent stage, they were stuck up there. Stay up and suffocate, or take your chances on reentry.

I was them, I'd go for the blaze of glory rather than the feeling of being buried alive.
