Don't get me wrong, winning is always preferred. But I don't see today's loss as a bad thing. Coach Underwood accomplished things he felt were important. 1. Freshmen received tournament minutes. Invaluable experience for guys taking a big step next season. 2. Good performances by Curbelo & Hawkins. These two will play important roles in NCAAs & next season. 3. No injuries. 4. A week's rest to prepare for NCAAs. I've felt for a while that the team looked worn out at times.
I'm very bullish on this team making a deep run. I have a better feeling about it than I did last year. Seems as if Brad's coaching decisions have been geared towards two goals this year: Regular season title and Final 4. Goal one already accomplished. Now on to goal 2.
