[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1353466, member: 7292"] A few thoughts on the game: 1) Officiating was pretty bad but we played down to the officiating and a bad WF team. 2) We are extremely thin upfront at 4/5. I know... positionless this and positionless that, but we simply do not have enough in the frontcourt. As much as fans think we can find diamonds in the rough late, reality is that if you end up scrabbling late for size/talent, what you end up with may not be up to par. That is especially true for big men who take longer to develop. Unfortunately, this looks like a problem for next year as well. 3) Unless we upgrade overall talent, the bar will remain on just making the tournament every single year. I know the popular belief around here that talent has not been the problem, yada, yada, yada... with good coaching etc., etc., etc. but to consistently win and compete in the B1G we need a serious upgrade beyond talent levels in the last 12 years (with the lone exception of 2010-11). 4) Leron has to do a better job controlling his emotions and temper. Given his long history, the last play was as accidental as Grayson Allen tripping somebody... by accident. [/QUOTE]
