And it will be glorious for them because they can site how we are clearly the best team talent wise yet we lost because of the accursed zone defense. And the fact that in a close game the rotation shrunk to 7.5 lol.
Coming home from the second loss to UMASS in 2008, the NIT game where we blew the 24 point lead, the worst part of it was that I knew the board would be full of posts by Igor and Blue Curtian and a couple dozen guys who came out of the woodwork with post #1. :blah: :bang:
I remember and thing is most of our problems that season were do to inexperiance and lack of depth from injuries. No matter what system we ran we would have had issues that season. Actually a great accomplishment to get 20 wins that season IMO.
Igor and Blue Curtain already have their posts written so all they have to do is cut and paste them on the board.
That team lost a game (at home I think) to Nova, and never before and never since have I been satisfied with a loss. They left everything on the floor for that game and just got beat.
You might be thinking of McNamara's Senior Day?
2008 had a home-and-home with Nova; they got us into big foul trouble in the Dome and beat us, we beat them the day before the Super Bowl because they couldn't guard Paul Harris at all.
It was the game we lost at home in 2008. Not the senior day - I wouldn't forget that. I remember after the 08 game at home calling a friend and both of us being calm about the loss and happy with the way the team fought.Maybe my happiness was unfounded.
Was that the game we missed three game tying 3's in the last few seconds?
Maybe that was the game NKR was talking about. We'd already lost to Nova (in what I thought was a complete no-effort game) and given up 102 down there. We had three good looks at a three and played pretty well at the Dome, just looked gassed toward the end.
Igor will suddenly become an IT expert and his computer/connection will suddenly be fixed not 5 minutes after our first loss. Take it to the bank.
