There are two things -- ultimately, just these two things -- you have to do to win a basketball game.
(1) Keep the other team from scoring points,
and
(2) Score points.
Occasionally, you can get by a team doing only one of these, but not against #1. Or, at least, not on Saturday. The Cats bodied up and went toe-to-toe for the last 3/4 of the game. but the hole they dug -- and the brick outhouse they built -- just left them out of reach. A shame, too, because the effort was there.
My immediate thought is that you can't let it linger. Tennesee is hungry, and revengeful. Time to focus from here on out.
Gotta make shots. Not that complicated.
