Nice win. I almost wish we would have lost it. If it wasn't our only non-con road game, I would have liked to see us lose. I feel like it would take some pressure off the players.
Couple of thoughts on the coaching. Haith has done a tremendous job this year, but I feel like he needs to understand when the game is slipping away and call a timeout.
Also, late in the game, we had only 4 fouls and a 5 point lead and about 25 seconds on the clock. I thought we should have used a couple of our fouls. Let them get to mid court, burn 3-4 seconds, and foul them. Then, they would have had to start the offense over, and we could have done the same thing. In a game this tight, burning 7 seconds or so off the clock could have made a big difference. You almost never see a coach think to do that, but little things like that can matter.
Good win, though. ODU always gives us fits.
