I may have never been more frustrated with JB than I was during this game. I know it wasn't all coaching (Hakim had 10 TOs for example), but watching those guys nail three after three was infuriating.

That team should have been better than a 4 seed.

Even Warrick's ten turnovers…we spent four years hearing broadcasters gush over his footwork, often noting that officials had to pay careful attention because Warrick moved legally in a way that often appeared to be a travel. Then the Vermont refs whistled every one of those moves, several of which were bogus calls.

But we were under-seeded (six losses, all to ranked teams, and league tournament champions) and they were over-seeded. We also played like crap and were out-coached.

It was a debacle of a game.

One game, of course, does not define a team. Unreasonable of Waters to elevate 2009 over superior teams such as this one.

I feel like Sorrentines dagger three has created this false narrative that they killed us from behind the arc. But really they went 7-21 from three.

The things that KILLED us

Warrick triple double

Gmat being Gmac and going 4-18
