I was gutted Friday, just got around to posting. I was very confident. You have to give them credit for the 2nd half they put together. They hit 6 three pointers (most contested) in a row down the stretch...that was huge. Add in Freeman who was just a complete mismatch for us (and the whole conference) and we did our best to hang tough but didn't hit enough shots.
Clayton had one of his worst games for sure, but he is still one of my favorites that I think is a top tier player in the conference for sure. He needs to stop with the awkward quickly flick from the top of his head shot. NOT to be confused with a catch and shoot in a more normal sense where he makes a sound mechanical shot. Add in some more confidence and aggression int he paint and I think he could be a contended for MAC POTY, a prediction Jason Carter once made.
Jaylin shot OK for the game but never really got his scoring going the last 3 weeks of the season. Reef struggled to find the net too, and Hadaway fired 4 three pointers...
The Freeman missed FT and own rebound and putback was a backbreaker. The turnover when Hunter/Clayton got mixed up with about 90 seconds to go was gutting too. Yuck.
Sat behind a lot of family members, always tough to see the heartbreak. Michael Brown was there with their Mom. Also saw Jacy Sheldon made the trip up with some OSU teammates as well.
A long 7+ month wait until we are back on the court, already can't wait.
