When Wilson missed the front end of that one-and-one, I had a sinking feeling that this was not going to end well. Then, after it was over, I texted a friend, "Better to be lucky than good!" This not to discount some of the great play during the game from guys like Wilson, Preston, BVP, Sears and Roderick. There were spurts of very good basketball by the Bobcats tonight, but boy the lapse were butt ugly.
I agree that the spurts were notable and hopeful when thinking about future games. Buffalo is a pretty good team and I think our defense should get some credit for holding them in check
Over the off season, I was thinking that the young returnees were going to have to step up if we had a chance. We also were led to believe that Wilson would have to sit. His being eligible has made a huge difference and Sears came out of nowhere as well. As an eternal optimist, I can imagine continued growth and a really good team by season’s end. That said, Wilson better stay healthy because so far there’s been no stepping up with his backups.
