[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 985466, member: 1199"] This reply is not directed at you specifically, so I apologize if it seems that way. Our veterans, including Reeves, were in the game late in regulation (from about the 3 minute mark on). Kyle made a 2-point shot to take back the lead. He also had two turnovers. Kelly had a turnover. Reeves was fouled and shot FTs. But, the reality is we are not significantly better than PSU. They also had a say in what happened in the final minutes of the game. Their defense was trying to keep Kelly from getting the ball in situations where he could beat them. They were also trying to make every pass a risky pass. That's smart basketball. Bodies get tired playing 30+ minutes of basketball at this level. It's even harder when the game is even and competitive. But, tired is not the same as fatigued. Every player on the floor late in the game was tired. Our guys no moreso than the PSU players. Tired players are not better shooters. That was a tough game for both teams. It was a great game for GT fans because we won. The PSU fans think they were robbed. As for Abram, his play is why he is not getting more minutes. Also, the play of his teammates. I believe he expected to come in and be the guy at PG. He probably saw Kyle as much less talented and not as athletic. The fact of his status on the bench is likely a genuine disappointment. He may be dealing with a hit to his pride to have a lightly recruited freshman playing 30 minutes at PG while he was demoted to the bench. Guys who feel they deserve more playing time have choices. I think we all want our better shooters to begin hitting shots with more frequency. But our desire for that is no more than theirs. [/QUOTE]
