I'm sick that we lost a game we should have won. But, overall I feel better about our team. We lost a game that went down to the final shot on the road to a team that is likely comparable or better than most in the OVC. Jordan Jefferson is obviously the player most of us thought he would be. DeAntonio Gordon is really solid like most of us believed he would be. Myron Gardner is even better than I thought he would be. Freshman like Speaker and Walker obviously have talent. I am a little surprised about John's lack of playing time, especially considering the foul trouble we had today. Don't know why we didn't, at least, use him to beat up on their big guy that was killing us.

Only coaching decision I didn't like (I assume it came from the bench) was isolating DJ, one on one, to take the final shot. Hard for me to believe DJ took it on himself to be the hero or goat. Obviously, with Jordan fouled out, Myron should have been given the ball. Really don't understand why he didn't have it. He is hard to stop without fouling.

All in all, I'm about over the loss and it less than 3 hours later. The OVC season and, really the tournament, is all that matters. Sometimes players learn more from a close loss than a win. Hopefully, the coaches will have their attention this week leading to the start of conference play. I honestly believe we will be okay in league play. Still not sure exactly what "okay" will lead to, but I think top 4 is not unrealistic for this team.
