To the first point - You are correct. Marshall should have played more minutes. He needs to use his 5 fouls every game where the opponent is high-quality. Either that, or we don't win. The Zips can get away with multiple substitutions against crappy MAC competition, but not against upper-tier competition. The Zips left several bullets in their gun when they left Tulsa last night. Because we substituted like we were playing EMU.
Sorry about game's end. I'm guessing the Zips missed so many ill-advised 3's down the stretch that we felt the need to make one REALLY ill-advised 3 to compensate. Stupid play.
Too bad Morrison graduates. I'd loved to have seen him at the JAR next season.
Great game by ORU. You proved you're an NCAA tourney, at-large-quality team. And the Zips proved they're a-notch-below-at-large quality.
Positives from the Bracket Buster - K.e.n.t. seems to also have an impressive win streak built upon cupcakes. They haven't gotten better, they've just played worse opponents.
Gary Waters' hot air over CSU being at-large quality has officially turned ice cold. Boy is he a crappy February coach. Hopefully KD/McFadden don't schedule CSU for December in 2012. We need them in Feb 2013.
