The reason we lost is pure and simple, we didn't make shots. In every loss we had this year, we missed shots normally made. Six loses. Two in overtime, two others by 1 and 3 points. The common thread, shooting percentage. It didn't have anything to do with the MVC. It didn't have anything to do with athleticism. Bad shooting happens to good teams, it sucks when it does. We had a great year. We weren't great tonight.

I'll take a season like this every year, without question. Tonight shots didn't fall. If you're in the dance, you always have a chance.Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind. ~Dr. Seuss

We shot very poorly early and then turnovers near the end of the first half really put us in a hole. I don't think the early misses were due to VCU's defense, maybe we were a little to nervous at the start. To me that was the biggest factor causing us to lose. Pretty good second half come back actually and because of that nothing to be ashamed of.In the fast lane

the first game in the ncaa is almost always the hardest. We played like **** the first half last year vs. USC in Dayton. Finally got it going midway through the 2nd half. You guys had a great year. Hope you can build on it. No team we played last year handled the pressure Defense in the tourney - not georgetown, not purdue, not fla state and not kansas. Its not the MVC. Its that teams dont play the style of defense we do and it takes time to adjust to it. You guys handled it way better than most teams did against us this season. you only had 12 turnovers. We average forcing 22 a game. We took stutz out of the game when he was in there with our 7 footer who didnt really play vs. you guys last season. D.J. forced him to miss some close shots he would normally make. If you leave the Valley i hope you find a good home. See you in richmond next season !

The Valley blows, but it's not the Valley's fault we lost this game. The first 25 minutes of rushed shots cost us the game. We didn't turn the ball over but we took a bunch of horrible shots especially early. I'll mark this down as the most disappointing loss I've ever witnessed in all of my time of being a sports fan.
