I LOVE this team. Scrappy, competitive, and show a lot of grit.
Sorry but I disagree with the statement about lack of depth. Nobody fouled out, although I think Chucky and Hadley had to play more conservative. Waterman, Traore and Rooths weren't in foul trouble, they just weren't finding a way to contribute. They haven't been 2 dudes short during this last 5 game win streak. Doesn't do any good to say what if... at this point.I think the Cards lack of depth is probably going to cost us this game. The refs are just too inconsistent and the road team suffers the most.
So far this season, foul trouble hasn't been a killer, but you get conference road games like this and the Cards are two dudes short. The Cards need to make 3's and FT's to win this game, and they are not shooting well at all.
But maybe Kelsey has some magic left for this game?
Game reminded me of the games we had against Memphis State and Cincinnati. Refs were letting them get away with a lot of physical play. The one play I specifically remember is when Reyne went to the basket for a layup and was knocked halfway across the floor. Hadley got pushed around as well. At that time, could have been a big play as we could have taken the lead at that point. Glad we were able to come out of there with a win.Suck it pitt.
