It was an appropriate ending for the way the season went. They were just good enough (or bad enough depending on how you look at it) to be in spots to win or lose at the end all year. The fact that they lost 90% of those is bad luck, sure, but some of it was of their own making.
The 3 St. Joe's hit at the end came off a simple pick and pop that KJ totally got lost on. The narrative of his great defense is just that...a narrative. He's probably the best one on one guy but I've seen him get lost in that zone all year.
Ironically, we've been asking for a team capable of scoring points in the tournament...and we got one, even with half our team nursing injuries. So I'd say we got what we deserved too, in a way. The defense was very weak against quick guards and skilled players. St. Joe's scored 78 playing Philly street ball and simple pro style pick and roll.
All that said I feel for the Seniors and for all those guys, who regardless of the results, played hard. Maybe they'll make different luck for themselves next year.
