Little over-dramatic aren't you? I thought the guys played pretty hard, just a had a couple bad breaks at a bad time in the game.
I actually thought Waddell looked pretty good, but it is pretty hard to play Waddell over Johnson when Waddell hit 4 fouls really early in the 2nd. Waddell looked great until he got into foul trouble. Who do play over Johnson? Linskens - Nope, you saw what happened when he was in. Schroyer is handcuffed by Linskens horrible play. Hopefully Sylla is a step above Linskens, or we will be in trouble at the post next year.
As much as it sucks to lose, the future is bright with these young players. Moujeke held the douche Cummard to 5 of 12 from the field, and a couple of those were when he was wide open during the press. He looked great on defense IMO, he just made some bad turnovers down the stretch. Overall though I thought he looked like a much better player than Cummard. As mentioned, Waddell looked like great in the 1st half. It's going to be hard to replace Johnson, Ewing, and Ogirri, but I think we have some talent coming in. I look for the men's and women's program to be competing for the MWC crown in 2011.
I thought it was our game to lose. And how in the hell can the refs screw us even when they call a foul on BYU? That foul on BYU against Waddell (away from the ball) late in the game hurt. He needs to work on his FT shooting a bunch.
