Thanks.<br /><br />I did watch parts of the Florida game, and I think the points in your post applied to that game.<br /><br />When we're at home, we can compete with anybody. On the road, we'll have to hope for the best, and maybe sneak a victory in here and there.DaugManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16925921846393106104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913457921644645352.post-65990802041344448952010-02-27T15:10:18.568-05:002010-02-27T15:10:18.568-05:00I watched the game (I do get ESPNU) and I wish I h...I watched the game (I do get ESPNU) and I wish I had responded earlier. As you correctly point out, we had our chances, and the good news is we created most of them on our own. The one thing you tend to notice is the thing that happens last when you had a chance to win. This game came down to a free throw that was missed by Dustin Ware; if he hits the free throw, we win. Missing the free throw allowed them a chance to tie and send it to overtime. We could have had a bigger lead, and we could have played better in OT, and I do not want to put it all on Ware. I am just saying that being an 85% FT shooter in general is not as good as being 85% when the game is on the line. <br /><br />All that said, this was a positive game. On the road, at a difficult place to play any year, against a ranked team that had a lot to play for, down at the half by five does not make one confident at the beginning of the second half. But we played lights out. I know it is just a moral victory, but personally I am counting moral victories this year. Next year, I expect to win these games. This year, an actual win is just a bonus.Ollllddudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00893625383056639105noreply@blogger.com
