It's been about the matchup all year. We match up horribly with WKU and UAB, slightly inferior to ODU, and very well with MTSU. That's all it's been. Good game, bad game, refs, whatever...it's about the matchup.

Also, I can understand maybe not being up for our game, but how do you shoot 50% from the free throw line. 10 more points there would have made a huge difference. Slightly behind on FG%, slightly ahead on treys, waaayy behind from the line. Seems mind boggling for a top 24 team to shoot sub 60% on the easy ones.

I don't know how you explain us shooting so poorly from the freethrow line at home. We have been a good freethrow shooting team all year. I thought this team was mentally tougher than what they showed tonight but I guess I was wrong. They let the combination of being ranked, just blowing out our rival, being talked about as an at large candidate, having the #1 seed wrapped up, and senior night get to their heads.
