How in the world did those guys lose 14 games? In that conference? Wow, they legitimately have 3 quality NBA'ers on that team. That coach should be fired for wasting that talent!
Great season Hawks, fighting to the very end. But in the end, the achilles heel of having an opponent that is athletic, long, with a great point guard (sound familiar, Michigan?) showed up and we got torched again.
I really like what happened here though, even though I wanted the Hawks to win. We all were thinking throughout this tournament that we were snubbed in the NCAA and that we had put it all together finally. And we did to some degree, but, had we played BYU instead and beaten them soundly we would all have an over-inflated view on the team, as well as the players rest-assured.
Basically, sometimes it doesn't hurt to get your azz kicked for you to know how good you are. I bet the Hawks work on this stuff in the offseason and come out firing even better. We know we are good, although not great.
See you next year!
