Belmont Game Thread

[Earl Tatum]

We Still are short of "Gunners" from three pt. land. I think we will be all right. Can see Henry
still needs game improvement. This is college not H.S. Liked Bradds and Bradshaw. We had
freshmen playing first game. Belmont is a good  team, but we kept coming back on them which
was abright spot. It's how we ended the game that really hurts.

All good points. When it comes to losing a close one, I love looking back at the 2009-10 season. We started out 0-4 in games decided by 5 points or less. After edging Georgetown at home, we lost 3 more such contests to push our record in 5 point games to 1-7.

Then we beat UConn on the road by 2, Providence on the road by 3, and had that awesome run of 3 straight road wins in overtime by a combined 6 points. Finished the season 8-9 in games decided by 5 points or less, going 7-2 in those games after the 1-7 start. That was a season where we had to learn how to win in the clutch and we did (though unfortunately not against Washington when it mattered). There will be bumps in this road, but you can see the potential on this team. They just need to learn how to better manage late game situations.
