And shame on me for overvaluing one game, but getting that first conference win after being behind and on the bad end of momentum late in the second half was worthy of some celebration.
Now, remember what you've got to do to get more of those than you lose.
Yes and no. A win certainly helped confidence. But a loss to UNO was motivating. I've seen a veteran group takes losses in their stride but also be shaken because they lose after working hard 4 years. The attitudes of individual players matter and these freshmen have good attitudes.Don't remember saying all hope would be lost, so shame on me again.
Just thought it would be big, either way.
A loss would have been deflating, and a win, exhilarating. This young team needs the positive reinforcement of winning more than a veteran group would.
