We walked into the game after an embarrassing collapse against Louisville, decked 2 spots in the rankings, and blessed with a 13.5 point spread. What did we do? We needed a gift from the referees in the last second to pull out a win.

Thats not to say we wouldn’t have pulled it out in overtime - I think we would have. But, man, am I grateful we got that call.

Was Wallace hit? Yes. Definitely. But even a die-hard Hoya fan has to admit a call 70 fet from the hoop with .1 on the clock is ridiculious. Still, I won’t look a gift horse in the mouth.

Roy eventually got hot in the 2nd half and scored his customary 13 points, but I think the guys need to play with more consistency. We don’t have the luxury of having Jeff Green to step it up in crunch time. However, across the board, this team is more talented than last year’s model. The catch is we need to be consistent to make up for not having the go-to guy in the clutch. We have 5 starters capable of making that shot, but all five need to be more reliable in that role.

Next Up - Saturday at ‘Cuse.
