She must be reading this board. I am frustrated myself ...

In our two losses our most glaring weaknesses have been exposed. Guard play and youth. Better now than later. That frustration is part of getting the younger players big game experience. When we have a legitimate scoring threat from the outside, there will be less frustration.

That experience is going to come whether we like it or not. Every game plan that will be devised against us in the future will be to a) double and triple team our inside players and b) go aggressively towards the basket to cause foul trouble. As long as we HAVE to play our youth, we will lose games but get better. This reminds me of the growing pains we had to go through the years before a young group of Techsters led by VJ and DW led us shockingly into a NC game in 1994.

NINE new players = growing pains. We are Louisiana Tech. We will bounce back.
