[QUOTE="Mitch Hennessey, post: 1559634, member: 747712"] Hey guys. Thanks for being such gracious hosts this week. I've really enjoyed posting here and interacting with your great (and extremely knowledgeable) fanbase. Don't be too hard on your guys. You have a young team, and they played their butts off. I haven't seen Baylor look as out of sync as they did in the first half in a long time. Cockburn picking up his second foul early on was a killer, though. Giorgi kept your guys in it by playing out of his gourd, but the inability to establish an inside-out game due to foul trouble was the difference between this game coming down to the wire and what ended up happening. Underwood probably had a really good gameplan coming in, but losing your major advantage (Kofi) early on threw cold water on that, and it's tough to prepare for the perimeter defense we throw at guards if you haven't experienced it before. Don't be too hard on Ayo, either. It was clear our defensive gameplan was to make him work extremely hard for anything he got, and we're probably going to make a few more stud guards look like they're having a rough night this year (hopefully starting with Kispert and Nembhard this Saturday). You'll bounce back. You have a dang good squad, and a new fan in me. Good luck the rest of the way, and we may see you guys again in March (or April, May...whenever this season finishes up)! [/QUOTE]
