The numbers 5 & 13

[Big Hawg 21]

5 Losses by a TOTAL of 13 points..Thats means we are 13 points from being 19-2.  We are just one of those teams that is snake bitten or cursed.  Its the curse of Nolan..haha

  I am starting to think there is a Nolan curse.  He didn't push a piano into a lake or anything was he was fired did he?  (hint Babe Ruth)

The Nolan Curse...instead of 40 minutes of Hell, it's 40 years of Hell!! 

What will break it??  Mike Anderson maybe?

  I agree with you that we are snake bitten, but good teams know how to win some games like that, instead of losing them all.

Five losses by a total of 13 points shows the lack of execution, and the lack of a go-to guy on this team (probably poor coaching as well).  How can you be that close, that many times, and find a way to lose them all?  At least last night was the first game we have lost in which we didn't have a double-digit lead at some point.

I would agree with you there.

There's something consistent throughout those five.  Our defense lapsed badly at exactly the wrong time.  We had the ball with a chance to win + did something bad, whether it's jack up a goofy shot, or throw it away, or miss free throws.  It's those situations where the coaching comes out.  We even left the lob wide open on the last play of the KU game, just got lucky that their young big man missed the call in the huddle.  Now look at KU.  Their pace of improvement is a little bit swifter than ours, wouldn't you say?  Man, it sucks to watch Heath force his team to flounder around in his stupid Big Ten crapola that doesn't fit his personnel, then they finally are allowed to get after LSU and ZOOM 14 in a row.  Race to the end, we bank on a kid who's been rotting on the bench to win the game for us, then give up an open trey.  Brewer finally gets to take the last shot and doinks.

Did anybody enjoy this?
