Message: [QUOTE="HoustonCuse, post: 4550634, member: 87"] I understand the point and would have agreed a couple years ago, but it is fascinating to see this perspective of our program now having a losing tradition. I never knew what it looked like from this side. Now, I know that if we got more FTAs and made more FTs, it would have just put more pressure on UVA or UNC to make winning plays, which UNC may have failed to do given their current state, but UVA is going to make those winning plays 8 out of 10 times. Just like we used to do 8 out of 10 times. It's not a linear thing - as in, we lose by one and claim if we hit two more FTs then we would have won. It's more like a rubber band, the harder we push on the other team, the harder they will resist. That ability to resist and overcome is what winning programs have. We were never winning that game last night. Even up a couple points late. Just absolutely wasn't going to happen. [/QUOTE]
