But what lost us the game was Manuel losing control of the ball on 2 or 3 straight fast breaks with less than 4 minutes left.

Completely kept us from building a lead and led to big momentum plays for them.

Very sad right now, but proud of our team.


Interesting that Larry didn't pull him after the first one. Sterling sat for quite a while during that stretch. Very odd. Cannen sleep walked thru most of the game. MK should have looked to score more. He was eating walkers lunch and then just stopped. Very frustrating game.

Should have won, but have to give Minnesota credit as well.

Bittersweet end to a great season.

Hats off to the Gophers.

I can't put my finger on it, but something about the Pitino's really bother me. Their teams play great, but I don't don't know they rub me the wrong way.

In other news, I have to now take [deleted] from my Purdue friend who calls our league an Arts and Crafts league and us a DIII team. [deleted] Minnesotta.

Yup..... I know it was a great game, but I'm so bummed right now :cry:

Really good game but I agree when they turned up the heat on the press and those mistakes were made it changed the flow of the game.

So depressed right now. Can't think of the great season yet - only that we just gave this game away to a lesser team and to mini me. God I hate Pitino.

The problem was their press didn't actually cause the mistakes...
