Message: [QUOTE="blkknight1, post: 5233433, member: 2169"] Any loss that was a springboard for the team. 98 Carolina-young team playing in hostile territory were total underdogs and hung in but in the end lost. Used that experience and we know what happens in 99. 03 Texas-similar to 98. Talented but young going into hostile territory played well but just didn’t have it used it for 04. 22 New Mexico-I know some are saying that this was a bad loss but I disagree. This loss was the loss that showed the staff while it’s great tough minded and great defensively you gotta have offense to win as well. Disappointing but over quickly 95 UCLA-we were the second best team in that tournament the problem was we ran into the best team in that tournament playing a home game. 02 Maryland-Maryland was on a mission that year after what happened the year before played them well but in the end we Didn’t have enough. 25 Florida-it was right there for the taking but this was a highly flawed team that never seemed quite right all year long. We had to lose at some point but went out like the champions they had been. Had to win the Natty to get over 90 Duke-I still hate Christian laettner though 94 Florida-felt like it was supposed to be our year to make the FF. BC had taken out UNC and if we won we had to play BC who we owned that year. Those missed FT by our best player. What could have been? 96 Mississippi state-won the BET for the first time since 90 on Rays miracle shot, were a 1 seed for the first time since 90. The FF was in the meadowland the scene of the crime from 90. We seemed to be on course to play UMass the game so many in the region wanted. Had perhaps our best team ever up to that point. It was all lined up and then gone. 09 Michigan st-we were the best team in the country that year even with the Dyson injury we were 2 best. Had to play in Detroit with an emotionally charged MSU team and crowd. If Dyson doesn’t go down we probably beat UNC. Got over pretty damn quick 05 NCSt-like another poster said couldn’t tell you anything about that game outside of Hodges last shot. 00 Tennessee-KEAs injury sunk us 08 San Deigo-when AJ went down so did our chances Still mad about 06 school from Fairfax-yeah I know basically the entire roster outside of like 2 guys had one foot out the door all season. But still we are UConn losing to that school come on. [/QUOTE]
