The fine line

[uconngb]

Kudos for fighting back the last couple games after "throwing pillows" for a few games. What last night highlights is the very fine line b/w winning and losing basketball. Cuse made a play late, UConn didn't.....yes, the 39 1/2 minutes leading up obviously mean a lot, but if Melo does not make that somewhat questionable tip in, and Roscoe dishes to AD or foul gets properly called, UConn wins. Think of how many times during our run last year we made the play, or the other team didn't (Louisville missed 3 in BET, Arizona misses 2 3's to win, Kentucky misses a 3 to win, etc). Nice to see them playing harder (though for once I'd like to see them be the puncher and not the punchee) but just don't seem to get that break or make that play to push them over the top. To me, this year is all about intangibles....think we used up our quota last year...
