My thoughts exactly! 

It's OK, though. The bandwagon will continue to stop for loading and unloading, after both wins and losses. Plenty of room on board. Watch your step. Mind the gap. 

I didn't see the game, but it seems pretty clear from the stories that this was one of those situations where you really miss Kevin Coble. 

When things just aren't going well and shots aren't falling, that's when you most need a pure "scorer", capable of creating and making his own shots--both inside and outside. 

That, my friends, is Kevin Coble. He's not there right now, and sometimes that gap just won't be filled. Doesn't change the fact this is the best b-ball team we've fielded in a long time. It's just not as good as it might be. Good enough? Remains to be seen.
