[QUOTE="PapaKvells, post: 1577582, member: 628809"] We lost so this is going to sound off because we don't have the deliverable, but we ARE a mentally tough team. That second half comeback was all pride and grit. It just wasn't enough to compensate for the enormous hole we put ourselves in. If a call or two goes the other way or we hit one more 3 and they miss one more 3, all we would be talking about is how gritty and tough this team is. We lost because we weren't prepared at the beginning of the game and the ball had eyes for OSU. The bad calls were tough to swallow. Also, when Kofi was on the receiving end of a flagrant and we got 0 points from a 4 point opportunity, that is tough to stomach when you're trying to comeback. I could chalk this one up to OSU shooting and tough calls down the stretch and still feel good about this team in a vacuum, but Maryland, Rutgers and Mizzou losses make this one too precious and important to accept.
