Yeah that was a rough one, I had strong feeling we were going down when Josh picked up his second foul 2 minutes into the game and was right unfortunately. They were just plain shook. It didn't help that Oregon closed out of the first half with 2 lucky chucked up 3s somehow falling to go up double digits either. I can't really blame Self though, it's tough not to eventually lose to a lower seed when you've been a 1 or 2 seed the past 10 years and Oregon is a really good team. Plus the defense came out fired up in the 2nd half, but Oregon hit some well defended shots, and our guys got plenty of good looks but couldn't hit a 3 to save their lives. Disappointing way to go out after looking so good to open the tournament, but oh well, onto the end of the NBA season and the draft.
A majority of the time great coaches lose in the tourney before they should. Duke the last 6-7 years have been a debacle in the tourney outside of 2015 and Coach K gets zero heat for it.
You need to get thru once every so often and you're golden. Hope Miller breaks through.
