[QUOTE="pressvirginia, post: 129539714, member: 1348623"] The press didn't do enough or what it typically does to teams. Teams better than SFA with all due respect. I agree on this single example, but let's remember body of work of the press. Walkup went 6-15...can live with that...but 19 FTs...can't win vs that. That said, we could've won with Walkup going off & with limited turnovers produced. Our total collective defense was actually pretty good nonetheless. We did block 7 shots. SFA only made one more basket than WV did. Imagine that. Our opponent missed 38 FGs, 16 3s and 10 FTs. Was out-rebounded by 15. Tell me that prior to tip-off and I say we win by about a dozen. Maybe more. Turnovers (22) and offense inefficiency (16-52) is why we lost. Carter/Miles got 52 combined mins and produced 6 pts, 5 turnovers. I do agree a better plan to get better shots can be done. At some point, you can't just say we didn't make any shots. Put the players in position to get better shots. Team scored 1 bucket in a 15-minute stretch that killed the game. That's when it slipped away & our guys gave up when they couldn't score. Remember, halves are only 20 mins. That's approaching nearly one half the game without scoring. [/QUOTE]
