Definitely can't lay this at any one person's feet. We, as a team, just haven't figured out how to win. There are a dozen little breaks that could have gone our way and won us the game last night, but until we figure out how to make our own luck, we will likely continue to be disappointed. I will say that I thought the charging call, and particularly, palming call on DG were suspect at best. If you're not going to call that kind of stuff in the first 38 minutes, you better not start calling it at crunch time. I will say that I hope we get away from the 1-4 flat set as our ONLY option in crunch time. It works some of the time, but if we're going to take air out of the ball, I'd at least like to see us mix in a weave or a 4 corners set to give the other team a different look. The 1-4 set seems to be pretty well scouted and if DG is forced to his left or hit with a strong double team, the odds of success seem to decrease a lot.
We lost and it hurt me more than most of the losses in recent memory. I couldn't get to sleep afterward because of a combination of being amped up and ****** off. I can't imagine what last night must have been like for Fred and the rest of the guys. It was a great opportunity lost, but it was the epitome of a TEAM loss. I can't imagine how we'll beat Mizzou on Saturday, but it is nice to know that we will at least show up and compete.
