RE: FW: I can deal with this loss

[Brad Holdheide]

I thought we at least played hard and were active.  Take away just some of
the 20+ turnovers, missed free throws, and letting a guy go 8-11 from three
and we win this game by seven instead of losing by seven.

I didn't get to hear Huggs post game comments, but I hope he's not being
this negative with the players.  You can only beat the players into the
ground so long before they start to think that maybe they can't win.  If
they lose confidence in themselves, the season is over.  I don't know what
is said in the locker room or in practice, but I hope Huggins comments to
the media don't translate into what he is telling the team.

What did my grandma used to always tell me, "You can catch more flies with
honey than with vinegar".
