with less than 6:30 minutes left. How's that even possible? Despite promising myself I wouldn't get overconfident with a big lead, I was as close to 100% sure we had the game won, with 7 minutes left, as is humanly possible.

I stand corrected. We were up 17, 69-52, with less than 5:30 minutes left.

No excuse whatsoever for the loss. This team was like a sail boat without a sail. The fellows never had a chance. I had a sneaking feeling when they were up big that LW would chip away and make things difficult for us but we just collapsed.

I saw five individuals playing basketball. Did not have the feel of a "TEAM". Happened to many times.

We were also up 17, 81-64, at the 4:54 mark.

Wow. That's even more amazing.

I don't think Walker inspires the guys in any discernable way. I hope the powers that be want to address the elephant in the room. It woukd be amazing to have something to get excited about with this program.

When Myron fouled out at the 3:47 mark, my wife was quite worried. I assured her we weren't going to blow a 12 point lead with less than 4 minutes left. And that was after I had promised her I wouldn't get overconfident with a big lead. I guess I am a slow learner.
