Seton Hall beat us coming back from down 17, no excuse for not finishing the job. End game fundamentals - rebounding, making foul shots, avoiding turnovers, don’t goal-tend, etc. Without Hawkins catching fire it would have been a blowout. Yes, good effort coming back. Yes, X is very good, but they lost to DePaul, so are beatable. When the head coach makes $2.9M, expectations are very high. He hasn’t proven to be a winner in big games or March tournaments. Miller getting his team an extra TO with the Freemantle foul count was superb gamesmanship on his part; Hurley was out coached again. All that being said, we have good kids who play hard. Just not smart in crunch time. Success for the season would be making the BET final and Sweet 16. Below that would be a disappointment giving the collective talent level of the players. [/QUOTE]
