[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1246755, member: 7292"] Embarrassing loss. No excuses on the coaching staff for not being able to handle a 10-pt lead that late in the game, at home, against Winthrop. What is disappointing is that we still lose to a team like Winthrop despite Abrams being better than expected. Tate had a terrible turnover in OT, but he was not the reason we lost either. Many fans overestimate the talent on this team. Still unacceptable to lose to Winthrop at home, but this is not as deep or as talented of a team as many believe. Yet, it is imperative that coaches/players collect themselves and we try to make the tournament. What I don't understand is the number of dumb plays. Example: 1:30 left in OT, we are down and trying to come back, we roll the ball from out-of-bounds trying to save some seconds, then Abrams proceeds to pick up the ball and just walk it up the court. If you are just going to walk the ball with no urgency, why even bother to roll the ball? [/QUOTE]
