This is the type of year that the regular season is only relevant in regards to our final rank. We lose this game 8 out of 10 times from where it is now, but we can't be too upset about it. The polls literally do not matter; the only thing that I care about this season is our record in the NCAA tournament. That said, we've played worse than Tulsa. We played significantly worse the first half, and got bailed out by Fred going hero; we should have been down 10 or 12 at half-time. Good news is that it is mostly on our new guys. Our big 3 have 44 points and 17 rebounds. Our freshmen and sophomores have 10 points, 10 rebounds, 7 turnovers, 15 fouls. The guys that need to improve are the guys that should improve down the road.
Remember, for most of our team this is the first actual college basketball game they've played. On the road. To what probably should be the best or second best team in the AAC and in the top 25. Led by approximately 15 seniors. Playing the zone gimmick that works in November and not March.
