I’m sick!

I think what makes it harder in a way for me was I really think we have a chance to beat anyone we play. Yea maybe Gonzaga or Alabama have too many playmakers but we can hang with almost anyone. Does anyone doubt we could have gotten to the final four if things broke right? I don’t. Unlikely maybe to string all those together but that’s true for many teams. You need some luck along the way. Houston earned it but they also got every bounce at the end. But - we were right there. Says a lot for pike and the program.

So, so true.
That's what makes it so hard for me too.

ISO slow down cost us the game. Everyone who knows sports & saw the game says it.

And if Geo had not turned it over at the end ? Or Harper had made that last shot ?
Or Myles had not blown that jam ? Or Caleb had not missed his ill-advised three ?

or refs called the Houston fouls on Harper and myles

Slow down with 2 min left cost the game. Affected everything after that. A coach can't control a missed shot, a turnover or an ill-advised shot. But he controls strategy. As much as I really like & support Pike, this one is on him.

But would you be saying that if Harper made that last three ?
Or Geo hadn't turned the ball over on that next to last RU possession ?
The game was in the hands of RU's top players at the end. And they failed. Is that on the coach ?

Try looking at my previous posts on several threads. Slow down affected everything after. We had those guys beat. Killed our momentum & rhythm. You can't slow your game down on more than one occasion. Have guys standing around & then just turn on a switch & pick up fast ,quick, and aggressive on both ends of the court. Especially can't do it that early. Pike out coached himself.

Unfortunately this was said in many losses this year.
