Re: They did everything but shoot

[Jonathan Macomber]

They played much better offensively then last time around.  
Better ball reversal and lots of penetration.  Even when we 
had that scoring drought in the 2nd half we were taking good 
aggressive shots.  Lots of stuff not falling and we had a 
couple giveaways.  Factor in the missed FTs and we could've 
won.  I'm happier that we took better shots (usually) and 
showed better offensive effort, but those little giveaways 
and dropped rebounds killed us.

Kirkland is frustrating.  A team only gets so many trips down 
the floor and he just gives so many possessions away.

This looked like a very difficult game to ref so I'm willing 
to cut them some slack - but again that was very 
frustrating.  Garcia knows how to play the foul game, and 
let's face it - that's a huge element of the game.

These Bearcats are not exactly efficient or well executing - 
they don't do the little things a championship team does.  At 
least they're good enough to get themselves in a position to 
win.  But they create too many variables to be consistent.
