Many may say that the young Bucks made a lot of games closer than they should have during the regular season. I also heard around the office
that the team let some big leads get away from them just to barely hold off their opponents at the end. A lot of people in the sports world saw this as a weakness with the young Bucks. But these learning experiences that many saw as a weakness with the young Bucks actually helped them out big on Saturday. To be honest, the Buckeyes lost only 3 games for a reason. They closed. Yes, they let big leads get away from them, but they also closed the game out at the end. These type of learning experiences were exactly what this young team needed.

On The Job Training

I have heard many times in my life that the best experience is on-the-job training. That’s exactly what the Bucks got in the regular season. on-the-job close game training. Ron Lewis, who has come up big for us during the regular season, stepped up big again. Just think– he had the confidence to take the last shot of the game because of what he did against Tennessee during the regular season. Actually it looked like the same exact shot he hit on Saturday (and Tennessee’s Chris Lofton had missed the front end of a one-and-one on Tennessee’s previous possession — sound familiar?). Isn’t the regular season supposed to get a team ready for tournament time? Well, if you ask me, I think this regular season did more than just prepare the young Bucks for tournament time. I think it has prepared them for a road trip to Atlanta.
