Message: [QUOTE="Scott11, post: 5576303, member: 6797"] I know that we have no right to be disappointed. If you had told any of us we’d lose by 4 to Houston without Donnie, we’d be shocked and take it. -But it hurts because the game was there to be won. George had to get into the last play of regulation 4 seconds earlier. But hard to be upset with George. Against that tenacious defense, playing with guys he’s not used to yet, without our best scorer, he played a really nice game. And took care of the ball in a way we haven’t seen a point guard do in a while, although a couple of his turnovers were avoidable. But he is a guy who you can win with. -in a game full of garbage calls the worst one was when George was called when the Houston player clearly traveled late in the game. -We have something with Kyle. He played his ass off and showed a ton of heart, not to mention some clutch dunks. -Betsey apparently has the clutch gene, which is nice to know. -it goes without saying that the free throws killed us. It was contagious. If we shoot 70% we win the game. Anthony really needs to figure it out because he will get to the line. He also gave up a couple of easy ones on defense. But I like the poise he shows as a freshman. -speaking of free throw problems, JJ is really scary right now. And it won’t be remembered, but his one on 5 chuck late in the game was absurd. -it felt good to be fired up again. When Kingz made that and one it felt like the old days. The Betsey three was so exciting. It’s not like last year where our guys are unathletic and out of shape.Our guys gave it everything and if we play defense with that effort and intensity the rest of the season, we will be in every game.
