Seton Hall played great. They made the big play last. I thought we had opportunities in regulation and overtime. This is the 4th league game we have lost with a minute to play. Our youth showed, our inexperience in the moment showed.
We have to learn to complete plays. Little things are hurting us. Missing layups, bad free throw shooting which has been a nemesis for us in the last month....but you have to credit Seton Hall. They did a great job in making the plays you have to make to win the game.
I believe they were 4 for 5 in overtime from the floor and we just didn't execute like they did when it counted. In the league most games come down to one or two crucial possessions and I have to do a better job. I have to keep my roster positive. Despite the record not showing it we have been playing really, really good basketball our last 4-5 games. But as a coach I am proud of our group. I'm proud of our toughness and I'm proud of our energy. It just seems we're not getting the bounce of the ball and it's my job to let the players know we're a good basketball team.
I know we're scary for a lot of teams to play. You'll never play agaisnt Providence and think it's going to be a cakewalk. With my team it's a process and hopefully come Saturday our kids will be re-energized and ready to compete in another Big East game.
Finally, I feel for our players because this was a winnable basketball game.
