Think @Uspshoosier and @FightFor6 pretty much nailed it above.
Yes we got drilled but St M's is both a strong team and a balanced veteran team, starters all average double digit scoring, their experience playing together was clear, that's a good team.
And yes no matter who you are, if you play 5 games in 8 days it's going to take its toll, Hell there's a reason why NBA teams generally lose the second night of a back to back, and they don't mess around and play 5 games in 8 days. Then people on here talk about effort -- you guys really think our guys weren't trying last night? Really? Of course they were, but they were gassed, they started making desperation plays, and things went south fast.
But hey, we weren't the 2 seed that lost to the 15 seed - lol - THAT is a failure.
Our season was not. Our season was, under season 1 for Woody, a 20 win climb back to the tourney. That's where we are today. Where we are next season and going forward is up to Woodson, and his recruiting.
And Schifino, Banks, Gunn is a good start - JHS is outstanding, big, strong, physical pg/cg who should bring impact from day 1. We know Woodson/staff will be recruiting for shooting, our clear weakness, and wing depth, and Geronimo is going to be a flat out beast next season. I'm over the bad loss, the season was a success.
