so many lost opportunities.

You want to be a leader? Hit your damn FTs with 44 seconds left and your team down four. Good F-n grief.

Raymond hits HIS Fts, cuts it to two

Potts called for charge with 10 seconds left and down three. Potts fifth

Final.

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

Tough finish, I listened to the last 10 minutes. 7 out of last 10 are losses. Maybe we can surprise some folks in the tourney.

 

[TrueBlue147]

Looks we could be heading toward a losing season...

 

[MTsumner92]

2 points in the final 4 minutes?

 

[blueboro007]

This team is an enigma.

I'm still hoping for a run in the tournament next week in B'ham. We're so close but gotta have more consistency from at least a few of the players. You just don't know what you're going to get from any of them.

Looked this morning and we're tied with two other teams for 6th and three other teams are one game back. (interesting that four teams are tied for 2nd making Saturday's games important for those teams - one will have to play on Wed.) Based on a cursory look we'll be seeded anywhere between 6th and 11th depending upon results Sat. - and to be honest I don't think seeding will matter much for MT in the first round - It depends on how we play more than who the opponent is.
