Tough to be known as the season/team that was one shot away from from the F4.
The Harrison Kentucky shot and the Walton miss vs Oregon were tough but we played well and the better team/fifty-fifty last possession beat us. Burke and Poole we got those balls.
This one felt like the W was on the table all night and we never grabbed it. We should have won this game by 10-15 pts other than good looks not going in. When you miss half your layups and free throws it's just about execution and but some awful luck.
Guys played tight outside of Brown, Johns for portions of the game. Hunter played with physical confidence but his mental game wasn't there. Forced way too much. Guessing the game plan was to get him 10 to 12 touches and he didn't execute and find open shooters.
Brown didn't get a shot in final 4 minutes. He made his last 3 at about 4:30.
We will all get over it but it's definitely going to be the banner that got away. We weren't beating the zags but the F4 is a level of achievement that is a goal in its own. Losing Losing to the zags by 25 without Livers would have gone under the bridge like losing to Nova.
Bummer. Let's hope for a lot of the hockey guys back and maybe Brooks returns. Franz maybe went from 5 to 25 percent. Going 1 for 11, shooting an airball with 10 seconds to go and missing another chance at the buzzer. Hard to leave Michigan like that after what Moe did
