[QUOTE="The Dave, post: 1493551, member: 622843"] Now, I'm not making excuses for anyone because that was NOT a fun game and I am NOT confident moving forward, but I also think we have to put this in context a little. Even with all the TO's and missed FT's... [LIST] [*]With 6 minutes left we were up, what, 15 or 16 points. Under "normal" circumstances that grows just a tiny bit and we end up winning by 20 or so and everyone is relatively happy (I mean not us on the board because we gnash teeth and rend garments over the little things). [*]Trent was something like 0/8 from the field in regulation? We know that's not going to happen very often. Most of those were good, open shots and they will fall. He hits at regular pace and this isn't close. [*]GB missed a lot of bunnies and close floater in the lane. Based on 30 games from last year, this game was the outlier. This won't be so bad all season long either. [/LIST] All the other bad stuff is fixable. I'm not saying it will be fixed, but there is solid reason to believe it will be. In the end...not good. But also not the end of the world. Nobody needs to be fired. Nobody needs to lose their scholarship. Lets see how the Fr/Su games go so we have a little bigger sample before we go all Chicken Little.
