Compare the two games - and then make your judgments. We won at home by 17, and lost (at one of the toughest venues in all of college basketball) on the road by 4. We struggled at home in the first half, and took control in the second half. Just the opposite on the road....although as some on here have mentioned, the 14-0 run could have turned into a disaster. Major props for our guys not letting that happen. And that 4-point loss came with us getting virtually nothing out of (arguably) our best player.
I didn't have a problem with CSP's coaching last night. His style isn't flashy or innovative, but it's effective. I think he wants his kids steady and low-key, like he is. That way they aren't so prone to letting their emotions change their game.
Let's wait and see what happens Saturday - I have a feeling this loss may eat at them, and turn into a positive factor down the road. The glass is still way more than half full for me.
