in Athens we win this game by 15.  I know borna will dispute this, but I think we looked much more winded at the end of the game than did Denver even though we had the deeper bench.  I had a very bad feeling in my gut as soon as this game was announced.  I think it was the very worst match up we could have received in this tourney.  If we had hosted UK instead of Bobby Mo, we'd be celebrating our second victory ever over UK.  I'm extremely angry about this match up.  I think we were set up.  I sensed this from the moment it was announced.  Okay, flame me if you'd like.  I can take it.

Were you there. If you had been you would have seen a Bobcat team that had a great attitude. You suck!

I don't disagree with OCF's assessment that the outcome may have been different in Athens or Casper's assessment that this had to do with performance. You are both correct. My point was to ask if you honestly believe that the altitude had more of a factor in this game than the attitude.

When the starting backcourt doesn't score until less than two minutes left in the first half (and one of them doesn't take a single shot -- FG or FT -- the entire game), it says more about their attitude than it does about less oxygen in the building.

If I'm a senior that is disappointed in not making the NCAAs and is fighting for my basketball life, I step up and take more of an aggressive attitude out of the gate in this important post-season game. It didn't happen. That's not the main reason Ohio lost, but I think it is a factor.

I will say this again. I salute this senior class -- the winningest in Ohio history. Thank you for what you've done and the awesome memories you provided us. I, like most of us reading this, are disappointed it ended this way for you. You deserved better.
