Message: [QUOTE="Hunt for 7, post: 5221747, member: 12414"] All this does is prove the saying misery loves company. We do a good job of arguing and making fun of each others take but right now this is the only place we can share our disappointment without sounding like we are a bit unhinged. I mean how many places can I say this loss ruined my weekend without sounding like a 60 yr old cry baby. My wife got up and left the room when they went down 17, she played hoops in high school and college so she gets the game. She usually watches the big games with me and my sons but last night she finally said she had enough she was going to bed. The only positive was that my oldest son 16 years old (yes I am 60 but that a long story) and I were not screaming at the tv. It was clear that we just were not going to win this game. As soon as we and McNeeley came out at halftime and looked like the keystone cops and he gets called for the clear path flagrant it was kind of over. She knew as I did that we would make a run but that was all that would happen. DePaul almost beat them and we came out and made them look like a top ten team. McDermott just has Hurley’s number he outcoached Hurley last night. He has continued to expose one of Hurley’s biggest flaws as a coach, he is stubborn, which is why he makes so few in game adjustments. We needed to do something radical in that game to have a chance to win. Personally I would have played small ball and put all of our best shooters in the game together. AK, Liam, Stewart, Ball and Mahaney and stopped Kalkbrenner from playing in the lane. DePaul played them tougher as they has a few guys that could make their own shots. And the refs allowed DePaul to take three steps on step back threes. Also look at it position by position DePaul is more athletic than we are right now. Creighton will get mauled by St Johns and be out of the tourney in the first or second round, they just have our number. [/QUOTE]
