[QUOTE="Techster, post: 776068, member: 360"] Man, although I'm disappointed in the outcome as I thought we should have won, I'm more mad at how the last five minutes played out. This should have been a win. I'll say this, I have a feeling our guys walked off that court knowing they should have won that...and I'm making a prediction that they will return the favor in a few weeks at home. UVA started taking advantage of the mismatches in the second half. As good of a coach as Tony Bennett is, I was really surprised that he didn't take advantage of mismatches earlier in the game. No way Jose should have been on Hauser for that long, and we got away with it for a good portion of the game. Later in the second half, they focused on that matchup. There was a few times Parham was defending in the post and I expected UVA take advantage of that...but they never could. Speaking of Jose, that dude did a heck of a job for a good portion of the game against Hauser. Also, Geoff Collins needs to ask if he wants to play some DB. What a heck of a game from Alvarado on the offensive and defensive end. He absolutely ate Clark's lunch in that PG matchup. Clark wasn't anywhere near the same weight class as Alvarado last night. Both were 2nd team All ACC and one of them played like a first team All ACC guy while the other guy didn't register a vote. Some of ya'll are gonna have to let go of your previous judgements on Usher. That dude is a baller. Yes, he seems like he's out of control at times, but his game has changed since last season. You've heard me say that he's our most athletic and explosive player, but I will go further and say he's easily one of the top guys in the ACC in terms of athleticism and explosiveness. When he's out on a fast break, I've yet to see anyone keep up with him...sometimes he doesn't keep up with himself LOL. Yes, he's herky jerky still, but I think that's a part of his game we have to appreciate because it's what makes Usher, well, Usher. I haven't really watched much of the rest of the ACC, but is anyone as lethal as we are on fast breaks? Holy crap, we are REALLY fast and efficient on fast breaks. Not sure what happened in the last 5 minutes. They literally dared Moses to shoot...and he took the shots. If you're the other team, you live with Moses taking those 15+ jumpers over giving him an opportunity for shots in the post. Did Usher even attempt a shot in the last 5 minutes? Anyhow, sucks to lose this game when we were in complete control for the vast majority of it. The game is forty minutes, and we didn't finish. Credit to UVA...that's a good team. GT is a good team as well...a REALLY good team. If you're on Twitter, consensus is we are definitely a tournament team. Hopefully, we take the lessons from this game and turn it on even more the rest of the season. I'll say this: It is refreshing to play these games knowing we have a good chance of winning. I look forward to these games now where in the recent past I kinda dreaded them. Well, we have a run of the next five games we can really make a statement. Go Jackets! [/QUOTE]
