Title: Dang......... Post by: droner on March 18, 2018, 02:17:20 EDT You have to bring your best game every time or you will lose in the tournament.
We didn't and we did. :frown: Title: Re: Dang......... Post by: VinnieVOL on March 18, 2018, 02:22:46 EDT The final play to Grant should've happened a lot more often than it did. So many wasted possessions.
Title: Re: Dang......... Post by: Tnphil on March 18, 2018, 02:27:52 EDT Got to find us a PG....Can't go far in the tourney without one. And we didn't play today until we dug ourselves a hole. We've lived on that a lot this season and it will bite you in the ass sooner or later.....and it did. We were a Sweet 16 team minimum. I can take losing to a Duke....KY....Nova etc but we are better than Loyola and they schooled us most of the game.

Title: Re: Dang......... Post by: Tnphil on March 18, 2018, 04:30:42 EDT Ugh. This hurts more with UVA out of the picture. Yep...It was set up for us to get to the Elite 8 for sure and maybe more. Want have the Red Sea parted like it was maybe ever again. At the end of the day good teams put away 14 seeds and we did.....and good 3 seed teams don't lose to 11 seeds and we did. First loss to a double seeded team by UT since 1999. Title: Re: Dang......... Post by: BanditVol on March 18, 2018, 05:32:03 EDT Having Alexander out hurt us. They were able to get some points in the paint that I think would not have happened with him in the game, and they actually out rebounded us. Rebounding was our big advantage over them, but Alexander was one of our best rebounders. Also leading blocker. :banghead:
And you know, the shot they won on was a joke. Loyola better know how fortunate they are that POS rattled in. It wasn't even a good shot. :bird: |
