You are correct, we should be happy to lose by a closer margin. No need to want/expect to win, just keep it close as possible. Maybe they will give out some participation trophies at years end. Just glad CBR is not happy and expects more.

Prrreeetttty sure Paul was merely providing some perspective after a close loss, on the road, to a non mid-major team.
Cincy is a mid-major, maybe a high mid-major but still a mid-major. Currently with a few games still ongoing tonight FU dropped only 2 spots in kenpom to #66. Cincy moved up 3 spots to #60..MNORM wrote: ↑Wed Dec 09, 2020 9:22 pmPrrreeetttty sure Paul was merely providing some perspective after a close loss, on the road, to a non mid-major team.
So far our 3p% have gone 29, 36, 21, 47, 25 through 5 games. So it looks like we shoot bad every other game, but our hot nights keep the average looking good. Doesn’t matter because I’ve been told shooting percentages don’t matter in today’s game.
It’s ok. Apaladin is a long time dickhead.MNORM wrote: ↑Wed Dec 09, 2020 9:22 pmPrrreeetttty sure Paul was merely providing some perspective after a close loss, on the road, to a non mid-major team.
One of the only two games I can recall where Alex Hunter didn't look in control (the other being UNCG at home last year). I was surprised at the comment about Mounce's shooting - he went 4/11 on threes, and had some nice drives to the basket... all of that to say, he didn't disappear in this game which he tends to do from time to time. Guessing Coach is poking his 2 seniors to step up and set the tone going forward?Furman Sports Report wrote: ↑Wed Dec 09, 2020 11:09 pmI've heard a lot of coaches speak after tough losses over the years. The successful ones sound an awful lot like Bob Richey sounded in the postgame tonight.

Exactly. No sure thing that we play Alabama or any game. We are LUCKY to have played all of our games. Most teams have lost at least one game. Playing every game helps teams develop and learn so we have been fortunate there
