Making shots is, I don't know, one of the major factors of playing well? It's definitional there.
But playing under control, playing tough on defense, running your offense, moving the ball, and getting open shots are all positives.
Having an off night and missing shots we'd normally make at a decent percentage doesn't equal terrible. I feel like that comes with the territory at times when playing a difficult environment in a road game in the Big East.
Even though they cut it to 4 points, it didn't feel like we had lost control it the game at any point.
