Davidson Game

[rainbear14]

watched eastern beat usf..they are very tough. The match up between Breunig & Jois will be exceptional. Jois is strong & quick..and cocky as hell. Griz can compete for conf title. Need a win sunday at Milwaukee!

"Quality loss?" That was a terrific game. Griz proved they can play the game. There were many positives on that game floor; when Breunig, Gregory and Weisner are all in sync, with their strong teammate backups, this will be an unbeatable championship team.

There is no such thing as a quality loss. UM lost, plain and simple. So what if it was a close game against a terrific team. So what if the Griz played well, even very well much of the time. The team should be judged as if they lost by 25 to a bad team--because all losses are equal (and bad).

I don't care for the term "quality loss" either. But, what you just said makes no sense whatsoever! :? Losing a close game to a very good team does not equate to being blown out by a poor team (see bobcats )!

GW and G, where were you two when I was making the exact same argument, on the football board, that you two are making now--and some of the dummies were hammering at me? Ha. My post over 75's was intended as a joke, playing off the football discussion. Eventually, there was a whole thread about "quality" losses. That's probably why 75 used that term. I completely agree with you two.

Haha I got you. I don't follow the football board so didn't know. Even though The Davidson was a good game that the Griz can learn from, I'd much rather take a bad/ugly win over a quality loss! I don't go for moral victories...just get as many positives & learning points from a loss & get better for the next game!

I don't recall the football board thread you allude to. However, I can see your point. Things are a little more black and white (and hysteria free ) over here on the basketball board. :thumb:

Yes, it was a "tongue in groove" remark.
