What a difference a non-call on a goal tend, 5.5 seconds to throw it in and a lucky bounce can make. We stole this one... it's about time! I was ready to pounce on this staff for the loss when we were down 11 but some luck, some guts and one good inbounds play saved it. This is not one we could afford to lose. UAB is a very solid team but they are wafer thin and they have not won on the road since before Thanksgiving. I really thought we would shut them down. How on God's green earth do you not go to a zone with your big man in foul trouble as your team gives up lay up after lay up from ball screens? It could not have been to salvage rebounding because tonight was THE worst rebounding performance in the last few years, a zone could not have made it worse.
The good, is that we still found a way to win for once. It sure feels a heck of a lot better than finding a way to lose. The bad is that UTEP, Memphis, Houston, UAB, etc. are all going to try and do this to us from here on out. WE WILL HAVE TO PLAY MORE ZONE TO MAKE IT TO THE POSTSEASON!
We need to PUNISH SMU this weekend, no reason we can't win that one by 20+. Then we have 3-4 on the road with a UTEP revenge game (for them) sandwiched in the middle. We MUST go 3-2 in this stretch and I hope we go 4-1. Right now, CUSA is still Memphis and the 11 dwarfs. The 2-7 teams all look pretty dang even right now.
