[QUOTE="Hopingfor500, post: 1514669, member: 746590"] An important win is a great win. Was it a Mona Lisa aesthetically? No. Would you rather have a 78-77 loss or a 54-51 win? In this league, a win is a win....period. If this team didn't have energy, if they didn't bring fight....they would have lost by 20. You don't play that well defensively without energy. Give credit to Rutgers. That is a really good basketball team. That is an NCAA tournament team. They are big, long, physical and in a game where the refs let both sides play....this is what you get. If the refs were calling ticky tack fouls, you would have seen a different game because defenders would have to give the offensive players more room to operate. If the refs called the game right, you would have not only ridiculed the refs, but our defense as well. A good team can win under any circumstance. Low scoring, high scoring, tightly called, loosely called, home game, road game....game on Mars. To shoot under 30% and win is 100% due to energy, grit, heart and ability to find a way to win.
