Mays missed the front end of back to back 1and1s, and Taylor’s blown layup is 6 points left out there. We cut it to 1 after that then we let their center walk it up the court unchallenged while we were in a full court press. That possession ended up with a Bama 3. So regardless of anyone wanting to nit pick at Wade, he had us in position to win that game. Our guys didn’t make the easy plays to do it.

Yep. We’re just not that good. It shouldn’t be a freak out moment, as we’ve come a hell of a long way as a program. Plus we survived a scandal that easily could’ve dropped us back to a Trent Johnson level hire.

Couple people mentioning lack of depth, which we knew all along would end up biting us. There is no KBW type player that can come off the bench and dominate for 15min. We really don’t have a “7th man”, to be totally honest we don’t even have a good 6th man.

After a new injection of talent, next year we’ll be pretty good. I don’t think Watford is one and done.

All this is true and I agree with you... However, It should have never came down to this against that team. That's a team we should beat 4/5 times by an avg. margin of about 12-15 points. We were so sloppy all game (see end of 1st half sequence as one example) that we just dug too deep of a hole by that point. If we could have stayed within 8 with 4 minutes left, we probably win that game.

Eta: I was wrong, we were within 8 at just under 4 minutes but it was 14 at about 5:30. We were sloppy and it was disappointing.
