Message: [QUOTE="Exodus, post: 4513481, member: 9544"] I am as critical as anyone. A loss is a loss, but you have to take positives out of this game. At any point we could have packed it in and dealt with getting blown out at home. We didn’t. We cut a 17 point deficit to 1 point, many times and should have tied it but Andre tried to throw an alley oop to Sanogo of all people. Positives:Hawkins asserted himself and figured out he is HIM and Newton played the way we need him to play every game. Hurley made the in game adjustments that enabled us to get back into the game and a chance to win. We had a lot of players that had “off nights”, but that was mainly due to Xavier’s defense. They’re a very good team and executed better than we did. Yes I’m disappointed in the loss, but I’m encouraged by the grit, fortitude and guts UConn demonstrated in the second half. [/QUOTE]
