We need some good mojo for the board and the team. Bouknight is amazing and we will get to watch him do incredible things with UConn and in the NBA. That being said, what a gut wrenching loss..
I felt the team cruising and was confident they would make the gritty plays down the stretch to win. The refs gave us a couple calls, which then seemed to be made up the other way. The game seemed nearly locked up, though. Then, my good friend, who’s a Creighton/Huskers fan, sent a text to our group chat saying, “that’s a nice win.” It was a 3 point game with 39 seconds left. Doomed.. I should’ve stopped watching right then.
I tried to sway the mojo but I couldn’t really settle back in. Whaley fouls out.. Hurley plays an all guard lineup that gives up an easy layup... then we fail to get the inbound to Bouknight(seriously??). Didn’t feel at all confident about Cole’s second free throw after he missed the first. His confidence looked shot.
36 points and a win would’ve been much better than 40 and a L.. You find any way possible to inbound that ball to Bouknight.
This team can be so good! It’s really frustrating to even consider the possibility of not seeing them figure it out together over the course of this season because of what’s going on in the world. It blows and so does Covid.
Jackson made an entry pass that literally made me say wow. The stoppages and the lack of games are limiting his opportunity to grow his game and it’s the same with our entire team.
We’ve got to give the situation, and the program as a whole, all the winning mojo we can muster.
