Tonight was lost, and the dreaded Ducks won, because of what happened at the Charity Stripe.
We make free throws in the last five minutes, we win. They made theirs and so they won.
Free throws are now the official achilees heel of this team, no doubt about it.
Free throws cost us the UCLA game.
They almost, and perhaps should have, cost us against Arizona.
And they certainly cost us tonight.
Bottom line: we really are where we want to be..This team doesn’t need to be highly ranked or a top 3 seed….we need to be in the 4-6 range where we can sneak up and bite people.
The kids will play better there as well.
Very interesting test now against Ariz, who was Humiliated today, and will be looking for revenge.
How will we respond to such a collapse, and then such a near heroic and miraculous comeback?
My sense is that if Cowgill can find a consistent post-game, this team will go 6-3 again in the second half.
We’ll see…In the meantime:
