The rest of the team was invisible until late in the game. Then in the last four minutes, West never touched the ball except when he rebounded it. It may be cold to judge a season and a team by whether it makes the NCAA Tournament. But when you play with the big boys, that's the way it is. The pedigreed teams currently playing on the ledge live with a healthy dose of NIT fear.
Desperation can be a great motivator.
Maybe the Muskies knew something the rest of us did not. Maybe they thought they were in before the game. Regardless, the Colonials played as if they were the team in fear. This was the first time we lost to a team with a losing record. Neither does Prosser.
