My take on the game was that Monmouth is a decent, hard-working team that plays good defense. If they shoot hot, and that one kid went crazy, these kind of upsets can happen.

I thought we competed hard. I thought that Kingz and George were both terrific. I thought Donnie had a very good game, and although the other 3 big guys didn't have statistically their best games, we have presence inside.  We play hard on defense.

On the other hand, there was JJ's mental meltdown late.  And right after he made a sweet corner 3, and hit that first foul shot.  And then 2 airballs and he had to be taken out of the game.  Wow, shades of Chuck Knoblaugh ruined was I thought was very good comeback game by JJ.

We could have used Betsey in this game, and will need him in Las Vegas.

Don't get me started on the refs, because that always sounds like sour grapes.  But my goodness some of those calls were so terrible.

I guess the glass-half-full outlook is that it's better for the team to had to execute in a late game situation to preserve the lead, and they did.  Just barely.  But it's still a "W".

I think this is going to be a very competitive team in the next several games.  I think we have a lot of good pieces.  I just wish JJ hadn't kind of ruined what was a very solid comeback game.
