So the game is over and I really felt like we were going to pull it out in the end and force it into overtime. While this game shouldnt have been so close statistically, I think some teams play you tougher-some coaches just have your number. The press killed us tonight, and VT hit their threes. I thought we didnt execute very well at all down the stretch and should have listened to Hubert Davis and his annoying voice telling us to get it into Booker on all those plays. Run some high screen and roll for him, iso, something...
We should have fouled right away and not let those precious eight seconds tick away. Could have tried a two and fouled again and I hate that twice now we could only put up a desperation three that was more an attempt to get fouled than make a three. TO did that in the Virginia final game too. Missed a lot of opportunities there inside four minutes and I'm mainly frustrated with how Stitt played in that time--seriously bricking a wide open three and not converting or creating for teammates on the dribble drive, this isnt going to help with his confidence problems. Poor execution, poor half court offense--bad trends going forward, poor ESPN2 loss on the homecourt...more to come later after the initial frustration subsides some...
