This last game against UK, I was getting very angry when the score was 57-50 and 57-51, and we had several very poor offensive possessions in a row when we could have been adding to the lead (we got some stops also). To me, those were our worst possessions and they came at a time when pressure shouldn't have been much of a factor since we were ahead and there were still 5 to 7 minutes left in the game.

I thought we actually stabilized a bit down the stretch to get a handful of good looks. We just missed them all. And, while I think Young may have "short-armed" a couple, I think he had been "sped up" by having his shot blocked a couple of times earlier, which is not something that happens to him very often. So, my sense was that Young's misses were due to him getting a little antsy about getting his shot stuffed and not about the pressure of the moment in a tight game. But, who knows?

If I thought we were losing every close game in a similar manner, I might be more concerned also. But, I don't, and therefore, I'm not

this post deserves repeating....so i am....
