Conundrum of the day

[Eric15]

While Hak had 10 TO's he also had like 24 and 12 if I remember right. I always blamed the pace we allowed the game to be played at and G-Mac for it. I remember him being 1 for like 8 or 10 from deep and I feel like he shot 20% for the game. He was absolutely terrible.

GMac was a catastrophic 4-18 from the field. I should have mentioned that in my prior post. And yes you're right about Haks solid offensive game minus the turnovers.

we were not mentally prepared for the Vermont game, I remember a couple of ours kids (I think Gmac was one of them) complaining beforehand about the court being old and in really crappy shape. As soon as I heard that, I started worrying and having Navy, Rhode Island and Richmond flashbacks. sigh.

Also, there was bad stuff happening off the court at that time. Remember, Edelin and the 2 Wrights were suspended for the game.

It really was a pretty crappy deal that we were a strong team All year, win the Big East Tournament and then have to go play a virtual road game in the first round. Everything that could go wrong, did...starting with getting that draw in the first place. Such a horrible game.

not sure how I forgot that, but I did. no question that was part of the issue.

If your going to miss a game, the 05 Vermont game was one to miss.

Wasn't that the game the day after st. Paddy's? I always wanted to know if GMAC was as hung over as was rumored.
