Too bad because I was looking forward to playing Kentucky.Last edited by another shocker; March 17, 2012, 06:16 PM.

All season, there were two aspects of our game, which nagged at me.
1. One of our most active shooters was a mediocre maker. He shot less than 43%.
2. We did not get enough scoring from the 2 guard, particularly by dribble penetration and finishing.
Since other aspects of our game were pretty good to excellent, we were able to paper over the shortcomings mention in #1 and #2 above.
When facing better teams such as V.C.U., the weaknesses can lead to defeat.
While V.C.U.'s defense is stingy and competent, it was not the killer blow, which lead to our defeat. The loss was caused by poor shot making. If we had shot 42%, we win the game. We shot 39%."Prediction is very difficult, especially if it is about the future."

We shot poorly because VCU's pressure made us speed up just a little too much. Most of our shots, especially first half, were about a second faster than, what I believe, our players were comfortable at. We were out of sync on offense, plain and simple.

Originally posted by cjp27 View PostThe 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.
Yes... I'm still depressed over the loss. ;(
