    I can.  We would have lost our coach to Michigan and feared for our future.

    FAU is still playing in a practice barn and might disappear into irrelevancy for a while...again.

    (And it'd be totally worth it!)

    Totally different situations.  If we were to reach the Final Four, with the talent in our backyard, we’d see a BIG uptick in our recruiting.  Even if Mac had taken us there, then left for Michigan, Boss Hodge would have taken over a very strong squad…even if some recruits followed Mac.  
     

    FAU will disappear for a while now.

    There are lots of names out there for that, Lifer! Cold shooting.  A dry spell.  There's some overlap here, but they are not always the same.  I equate choking to late game collapses.

    Instead of thinking maybe the other team made the adjustments it needed to, let's just pile it on those Ponies, right?

    I thought for sure, slugging it out night after night with FAU, we could get at least one to swing in our favor.  But they kept coming out on top.

    Frustrating to never get over that hump.  Not once in two seasons/5 tries.

    I think Dusty is a top name at Ohio State Louisville, right? He'll be gone, Davis will leave with him (maybe go somewhere else, though), and I won't miss them.

    The difference was FAU has a player who comes up biggest in “go time.”   
     

    Did you notice that, in all three games, it was tight with about 3 minutes to go and they put the ball in Davis’ hands.  From there he either got to the bucket (with or without an extra step or push off) and scored or he made the smart pass out of the double team.   
     

    Who was that guy for us?

    Wrong.  First time not winning 20 games since Mac arrived.   For me, we were technically still very well coached.  However, our roster was not built to win.  Hodge didn’t step out of McCasland’s shadow with this season’s effort.  Got to be better at roster building.  Staff needs help too.  

    Take a look at who we racked up those wins against last year and compare to who we faced this year.  
     

    The best of CUSA came with us to the AAC and the rest of AAC was better than the rest of CUSA.   And yet, still, we played almost every game within 5 points without two starters during the heart of the season.   
     

    If everyone who is eligible to stay stays, and Ross can find a serviceable guy with size (doesn’t have to be a 5, just big enough to challenge at the rim and grab boards) we will make serious noise next year…I’m calling it now.
