Positives of the WVA game

Last tournament we had, Auburn made the final four in a season where they lost by 27 to Kentucky and Ole Miss by 15. They still made the final four despite being run out of the gym twice. Sometimes it’s just not your night and you can’t let one blowout decide your entire season

We crushed vcu the year they made the final 4. It was something like 40-16 at halftime, and we cushioned the lead to about 30 in the 2nd half before relaxing and cruising to an easy victory.

Oops. You guys beat me to it. I usually read the whole thread before posting. Still, it's worth repeating. We whipped the shit out of them that game! And it's all about matchups once you make the tourny. We would have made the final 4 that year if we had gotten FL State first, and caught Kansas without giving them time to prepare.
 
The only positive I saw was that it is a gut check for the rest of the season. It was not good, but hopefully it is a character test early enough to allow us to recover and really kick ass for the rest of the year.
If their is a positive it should show itself against Vandy. This team should come out angry and should take that anger out for 40 minutes against an undermanned Vandy team.
 
Just a quick thing to remember is it could be a lot worse. We’re pissed off after losing to a now top 10 West Virginia team. Imagine Davidson fans today after losing by double digits to Charlotte. No thank you!
