I was super pissed in the game thread. And I know people get pissed at me for perceived negativity. My issue after last game was two fold:
1. The first twelve minutes exemplified our problems all year.
2. The last 28 didn’t take them away.
Right away tonight the problems were back: too much settling for three pointers we weren’t making(esp RHJ), poor perimeter D, chemistry issues on the course with certain line ups - and so forth.
So maybe we win on Sunday and we are in, but I hate having to have that pressure. Two more chances. Lose both and maybe we can back into NCAA with zero momentum. Certainly nothing like last year when we beat Purdue and MD late in the year. The team is just missing lots of little things - but they add up. I love RU, but this team is harder to love over last years version.
