Now 1-3 Against Adversity

Basketball
1

Adversity defined as a team good enough to take a second half lead on us.

Notre Dame almost got there (pulled within 1). So did West Virginia (pulled within 3).

But the only teams to take a second half lead on us are Bama, Auburn, SDSU and now UCF.

I expect we will get our chances to battle Adversity several times from here on out.

Seems like a common denominator in those games is a lack of outside shooting. Against Auburn Cryer and Sharp were a combined 8-23 and against Alabama those same two were 12-37. Today they were 6-24.

Yep. And interior scoring at that time was pretty weak. Bad combination.
