Yeah yeah, not all of it.

1. Boatright. It's like Cow Bell. We need more Boatright. I love Bazz, but it's time to hand the reigns to the Boat Show. With Bazz at point, we're NIT bound. With Boat, I'm not sure, but doing worse than NIT is really not worse than NIT, because it's a binary condition - NCAA or something else.

2. We started out great. Great ball movement. Good shot selection. D was solid. It changed when Boat went the bench. Hence, we need more Boatright. He's going to make stupid Frosh mistakes. Fine. F-k it. Shabazz is making them as well.

3. GTown made a good deal of tough shots. They are good. They are legitigmate top 12 team. They are long, BTW, if you didn't notice, and very athletic. They made our guards look very short.

4. We missed many open 3s. Lamb missed a couple. Giffey. DD. If we hit a couple, it's a different game. I never give a crap if we miss open shots. If we're getting open shots, we're doing it right. If they don't fall, well you overcome with determination.

5. It was (another) game where nothing really fell our way. GTown hit some very high difficulty shots. Couple bounces here and there. Etcetera.

6. This loss is not a horrible loss. I think we can build on this. Start the same guys, make sure Boat stays in. Give him the reigns, see what he can do. I no longer have aspirations of a NC repeat, but Boatright is the heir apparent, so let's stop dicking around with Bazz, who I love, but who can't get it done in a primary ball handler role.

7. Chins up boys. We've been underdogs before. We can recover from this. I see good things going forward.

I approve of the overall tone of the post, but at some point you have to make things fall your way. Bad luck doesn't last this long.

If you liked what you saw, there's a word for that.

Further proof that Frank Ivy is the ultimate contrarian.

I liked what I saw, liked it very much as a matter of fact... They looked like a real team that really cared...unfortunately, the clock then clicked past 16:30 in the first half and the Keystone Cops showed up to possess our Huskies

Let's give this starting five a little more time. They came out great to start the game and collapsed when Boat came out. If we can go 2-1 or 2-2 for the next 4 games, I think we can look at that as a positive sign

Yeah, I liked what I saw too, but maybe just a tad more shooting practice.
