Well fuck.

At least losses in January don't "matter" for anything. They are just teaching moments for the coaching staff to use.

Damn. Just damn.

I punched out my garage door just before halftime, and my left ring finger is turning a lovely shade of purple.

I feel lousy and unsettled after that debacle. X( :(( :ymsigh:

Just peruse the box score for this debacle.
http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/boxscore?gameId=310302599
Take note of the fact that the fg% differences were 58% to 41%
On three pointers, much worse 60% to 19%
17 fuckin' turnovers...17!
Assists 21 to 9
It's awfully hard to beat anybody with shooting disparages like that. Even worse when the hot shooting team gets so many more possessions. 19 defensive rebounds for the johnnies. You don't have a lot of offensive ones when 60% of your shots go thru the hole.

What I can't understand is this. When they are constantly able to find the open man for a high % shot, because Duke is leaving a man open due to double-teaming the player with the ball, you have quickly fallen to an 18-10 deficet, why don't you change that defensive plan? This team needs to play some straight up man-to-man. One on one. Straight line between your man and the basket. Complex schemes are not working right now. :-w

Next play.

Funny how they can suddenly get hot shooting when urgency takes hold.

So incredibly grateful that I didn't spend the time and money to go up there to watch the game. I had intended to do that back in November.

Next play!

We considered it, too, and probably would have gone if the cheerleaders had traveled. Glad we didn't.

To quote the OP, "It's all practice until March." They no doubt learned more today than if they had won. Pity the turtles.
