Tough Loss(es) to Swallow

Hey Baronballers.
Sorry it's been so long since we've posted, but the beginning of school crush has taken its toll on the other writers, and banging out a super 1st troub has got me caught up.
But recapping this semesters games can be summed up in on sentence:
We lost, again.
Unfortunately the arrival of Pete Burak hasn't stopped the bleeding of the loss of Connor Flannigan. We lost again tonight in heart-breaking fashion, blowing a 12 point half-time lead to loose 66-61.
Some quick facts before we end the night:
- We completely shut down their two best players in the first half using a zone defense (1st time I've seen it all year). Waajid (#52) had 3 fouls and 4 points, while Kucenic (#24), had only 2 field goal attempts and no points. Final lines: Waajid had 19 point, 18 rebounds, and still only 3 fouls. Kucenic had only 9 points, but 15 and 12 from any player in one half is enough to earn a W. Why we moved from the zone in the second half made sense (they started draining threes right and left), but Waajid totally destroyed our man defense with 5 HUGE O-Rebounds in the latter part of the second half.

-Srgt. Slaughter had 21 and Duke had 12, but Duke shot pretty poorly, going 4-11 from the field.

Thats all for now. Feeling quite depressed after this one. We're now 0-7 in conference play, and 2-3 at home.
THE BARONS ARE BACK

haha, Sean, in case you haven't seen a game, you suck and your team sucks (even though I doubt you really are Sean), but if you are, you are a terrible coach. Obviously with only six wins, there are some things that should have been worked on.
