As guys have grown in their rolls they probably could have done better without Cumberland, but that first half with him sitting everybody just kind of looked at each other on offense trying to figure out what to do. I think that's a team we beat at home if you played the game today and hell play that game 10 times we probably win 6 or 7 even then, but that team in its first game against a really good opponent needed its best returning player to be on the floor.
