| sorry, lakdod, but was just flat exhausted from the drive back and missed the game. angela wanted to stop many times along the way, including a couple of hours of fun in primm valley.
sure wish i could have seen the latest version of the heart throb kids, but the results merely confirm what i've said all year long. we still have no capacity for putting inferior teams away, so unless we get a very hot shooting hand at the dance i regret to expect us to go no further than the second round, sweet sixteen at the very best.
the neon man may just will the team to win as he did last night, but that's hard to do when the other side has three or four studs and he gets exhausted. baby shaq has been the only day in-day out consistent threat otherwise. larry's output has shrunk, billy has been up and down, and luis is a role guy.
we're in the dance, no doubt of that now. i forsee a split this final road trip but will keep the three seed and win another close one in the round of 64 at east gym, putting us at 21-7 going into the second round.
coach k's hair is literally turning gray this year. you can see it happen.
but huge props to our senior captain. he might get a look for the D league and surely make one of the european leagues and perhaps play against jeff bonds. |
