This is a very good conference, but we showed we can compete through the first 7 games. This game made no sense.
The first four minutes of the second half killed us. Went from 32-28 at halftime to 49-30 in seemingly the blink of an eye. In a good conference, 4 minutes of trainwreck against a NCAA team can completely derail what was otherwise a pretty good game. If you spotted us a 68-63 lead on SHU for 36 of the game's minutes and asked if we'd take whatever came in the other 4, I'm pretty sure we'd all take it.

Unfortunately, we took it all right. We took it in a very dark and painful place.
