[QUOTE="Philly Boy, post: 1519200, member: 4183"] This game to me neutralizes most of the heartache from our MD loss earlier this year. Similar scores, similarly decided in the last seconds, but -- hallellujah! -- dissimilar results. At MD, we had that game won, and by rights should have taken it. In this one, MI had the game won, and by rights should have taken it, but we "stole" it from them. (Tough t-tty for them, huh?) Maybe it all evens up in the end, but I will gladly accept this semi-gift from the Wolverines. And even if it was a kind of gift at the end, we fought hard, if not well in some places, to come away with the win. And yes, we were short-handed, so maybe we did deserve it after all. Specifically, we were able to do this is given their five straight FT misses at the end. Without that collapse, even Ayo's heroics would have been for naught. The MI failures at the line reminded me of one year -- I think it was one of the Brian Randle seasons -- where we were one of the top teams in the country in "Free Throw Defense." I'll take the win in any fashion. [/QUOTE]
