We got beat by a special performance by Norfolk State. It sucks, but we were on the losing end and they deserved to win that day.

They shot the ball considerably better than they had all year, they had a legit NBA center and height in the backcourt which was the perfect matchup to offset our strengths, caught some very fortunate breaks, but mostly Norfolk St simply played a very good game. It didn't help that 2 of our 7 players were playing through injury, and that Haith benched Ratliffe for a good portion of the 1st half to send a message for the larger good of the tourney run that never happened due to the loss. But we simply didn't have much flexibility to play in a different manner and they beat us.

That was a flawed team with little height and little depth, and its best player has never played a second in the NBA. Yet it is probably the best offensive team in college basketball of the last 5-10 years, certainly among them. They figured out an unconventional style of play that turned their weaknesses into strengths and allowed them to mitigate their shortcomings, and had such well defined roles that depth was almost never an issue. That team got the absolute most out of its potential during the court of the season. That is what good coaching does.
