Message: [QUOTE="JustbrewitMan, post: 4224812, member: 7806"] It's high comedy to read the sheer volume of BY posts from the usual suspects who want to do a complete "CTRL+ALT+DEL" of our entire team's offensive and defensive lineup/strategy after one generally bad team shooting night coupled with one guy struggling to defend. In the ~7 games prior to last night, we were shooting ~42% from 3pt range and shooting well overall. No surprise, we were formidable and nearly unbeatable. Last night, we matched up against a team with a great coach, at their arena, on senior night/$1 beer night. Is it that big of a surprise that it could have ended up as an "L"? In the first part of the 1st half, we played great D while getting good looks, shooting poorly and digging ourselves a 16-pt hole. Two of our key 3pt shooters (Hawkins & Polley) got banged up....one badly enough to not return to the game. Like the Final Four potential team that we are, we fought back in a hostile environment to tie the game midway through the 2nd half. Just couldn't get over the hump. Had chances to tie/take lead with good looks that just didn't fall (Cole 3 late). It's tough to win on the road in the Big East (any strong conference, for that matter). Let's regroup, and get ready to beat a surging DePaul team in 3 days!!!!! [/QUOTE]
