Time for us to make new history!!!

I didn't catch that NW game until the highlights came. I wish I'd had it on, but I was totally engrossed in the UD game.

I don't know about "talent" necessarily - though I probably agree there too esp. without Tone. But, that team played defense (because they had a coach that stressed it and the athletes to run it). That team had leadership/heart/toughness in spades. That team had ATHLETES (even if they were less talented) who could at least go toe to toe and hold their own when competing with the Michigan's, South Florida's and UNC's of the world (Offutt/Hall/Baltic/Keely/Smith in particular).

Those are all things this team severely lacks. What would a 7 footer like Zeller, or a 6'9 wing like Barnes do against our current iteration? *shudders*.

And, unfortunately, these are things I don't necessarily see ending anytime soon with #SaulBall. It is what it is.

I'll add to that:

-After we went up 4 and DJ got the steal, what if he just pulled out and waited for help or hit a pull up jumper instead of going toe-to-toe with Henson? Had we taken a bigger lead there I don't know if UNC could have come back. We were in their head by then.

You're welcome!
