We just need one quality win in OOC and don’t drop any ugly games and we will be in good shape come Conference.

I liked how the team fought/played defensively and I thought outside of Shake and Chargois offensively the other guys played pretty good games. Shake just wasn’t hitting tonight. This will be a way different team come Conference play. With all the scoring droughts, being outrebounded, our shot by about 10% points and our star guard shooting under 30% we had a shot to tie with under 20 secs left agaisnt a high quality mid-major opponent. Says a lot about how hard we fought and played defensively which is good news, because reinforcements are coming.

I disagree with all the Whitt bashing. He wasn’t great, but he played fine. He didn’t cost us the game. He hit some good shots and made some good passes. All of our guards struggled driving into the lane and turning it over or making sloppy passes out this game. I agree their style of D isn’t a good matchup for Whitt, but considering I thought he played just fine.

Yes, we could easily have pulled this out. So many were shooting poorly.

But, Whitt did not play well. His groundbreaking method of picking up his dribble in traffic then scanning aimlessly before distributing the ball to no one was impressive. He managed to kill offensive momentum at an impressive rate. He somehow had his finger on the pulse of the game, driving into double coverage when we traditionally kick it out, then paint it to a doubled shake when Ray was open in the paint. Completely lack any confidence with him handling the ball in a close game after the first 5 of the season.

I actually thought Whitt played pretty well. He drove to the basket which creates space and he hit some decent mid range shots. Foster is still finding his way.

Well, seems some are happy with a football caliber 1/2 game of effective defense, so it seems lowered expectations are contagious.

I don’t think anyone is happy, but you can still take positives out of things like see we didn’t quit and played good D in the 2nd that got us back into the game and gave us several chances to win. That is a good sign going forward. That’s a game we should never lose, but we did. We aren’t going to win much agaisnt good teams if Shake is 5-19 (1-7).

Logic says a good conference campaign and one OOC win should be enough. History says you're an idiot if you think that resume isn't going to give the committee an excuse to overlook us. We needed this game, and now need a very good showing against Arizona (who are going to be angry and go for a blow out to prove a point) and must win the final.
