Our seniors...
Thomas - couldn't play
Ellis - 0.001 too late
Cobb - hit 8 gutty 3s last 2 games coming off injury
DeBerry - stepped up HUGE in March both years here

God I feel for those guys.
 

Sorry, we're not UConn. That's why they didn't delay the shot clock for us either to make it count. Get it yet? UC is somehow bad for the narrative, so we get screwed like this. Sometimes I forget whether I am watching bball or wrestling... I was the only one at the bar standing there stoically while everyone around me jumping up and down going nuts. Anyone who didn't expect us to get Boatrighted in a heartbreaker hasn't watched enough UC!

Me too man. So fucking predictable. Unbelievable.
 
Reality is the refs blew the foul call and then the dunk call. Awful officiating as it has been all year
 
I feel for our seniors. But I've never wanted the guys who are coming back to be the guys who are coming back so bad. Caupain, Clark, and Evans aren't going to fail. They're way too good. I believe in these guys.
 
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.
