Great effort today by the Bulls--- keep playing like that and I doubt any norml fan will have much to complain about (oh-- but they certainly will of course)

Guest Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 I don't think CSH would want to give U Conn the chance to set up the play... despite the fact that it would have helped the team get ready on defense.

Some tough man-to-man would have likely resulted in the clock draining and not the shot with :0.2 left. I saw a replay on it on ESPNNews and it looked to me like we should have defended better - plain and simple. Great game though, there were times in the second half that earlier in the season we would have let it get away. We are playing with much more confidence than a couple weeks ago.
