Message: [QUOTE="oTTo113445, post: 3236778, member: 7558"] We don't have a true starting center or a center with toughness coming off the bench. Can't expect freshman centers ever to step in and be the first option, nor a defensive toughness option. Most losses this year can be chalked up to that alone. All the Kids played their hearts out today. We went on a nice run with some defensive stops with Howard, and Guerrier in the first half, despite guerrier not recovering he certainly contested shots. So I didn't mind the call of Q over Sidibe down the stretch. Sadly it backfired as ND scored their last 10 possessions. Simple math. ND took 5 more fg attempts and took 2 more ft's then us because of 5 more rebounds and 2 less turnovers. We shot 5% better than them, but that was the difference. We needed only one defensive rebound from Sidibe today to win. He gave us 6 offensive. [/QUOTE]
