+The Game is Over: Pretty sure that in ****, any fan of UM basketball is forced to watch this game on a loop. For the last 12 minutes of the game I felt like Joe Pesci at the end of Casino.
Minus:
-Barry Larkin Wasn't There: Announcers mentioned he was in Japan to manage in the World Baseball Classic Cup thingy. Pretty sure him not being in attendance is why we lost.
-Adjustments: I'm treading lightly because I really don't know what the **** I'm talking about. I've seen it mentioned that teams have started doubling Larkin off of the high ball screens to get the ball out of the hands of Barry's son. Teams have been doing that non-stop for 3 games straight now, and our offense can't seem to generate much consistently because of it. What do?
Not Sure:
= The Winning Streak/Undefeated Conference Record is Over: I really wanted this team to go undefeated in Conference play. But you're crazy if you thought this team was going run the table from Christmas day through April. The best thing to hope for is that the team can refocus towards the next game and not be preoccupied with being undefeated.
But at the same time, I think this team played with a certain amount of confidence in that they were always finding a way to come back and win in the 2nd half. @Va Tech, @NC State, @FSU, @Clemson, UVA, all saw us shining in the 2nd half to come out with the W. That invincibility is now gone. Do they play better/smarter now or do they lose their confidence going forward?
