Ray G. Post Mortem

[Section 116]

Coach Giacoletti was good enough to come out of the locker room to deliver the post mortem at MSG. Rather short and succinct as one would expect. Ray said we have to be able to work ourselves out of those situations when we fall behind and nothing seems to be working. Someone has to make a pass, a free throw a stop and then build. Said defense was solid the first 10 minutes but we never could get out of that funk. Richard Fox said when he was talking to Ray off the air Ray said essentially "We just sucked!" Ray said we tried all kinds of guys and combinations, 51% from the free throw line, we didn't function at a high level at all. The older guys needed to pull people together, we have to battle through adversity. We just didn't do it tonight. As a team we wil probably just put this one behind us. The coaches though will review the tape.

Fox and Hudson decided at the end of the radio broadcast there would be no Gonzaga player of the game today. Who could argue that?

The coaches though will review the tape.

That will be as painful as watching Bruno!

This is a game you crumple up and toss in the garbage. A short memory is your friend about now.

Was there a game today?

True true, but I just cringe when I think of the casual fans who tuned in to watch Gonzaga for the first time. Can't be good for program perception.

When do we play Duke?

Agree. That's why I've been harping for years for Few to learn how to say no to certain games at certain times.

[Ezag]

I don't agree that we say no. Sure it is a tough games but we need tough games. And Mark just does not say no and I applaud him for that.

Believe me, play this game again another day, another time and the outcome would not be this one-sided again.

[gamagin]

actually, no, we didn't play Duke,

we beat ourselves up in front of millions of witnesses, some of whom played for Duke and many of whom are Duke supporters.

[Section 116]

The thought that occured to me was with millions of folks sitting at home hunkered down to wait out the snowstorm blanketing the mid Atlantic and Northeast corridor all one could hear was the sound of remotes changing the channel looking for something a bit more interesting and competive. I suspect CBS just cringed as the ratings sank when all those fannies were in their seats and turned to something else.
