We're young. That's twice in three games on this road trip that we've had a 4Q El Foldo. Spo is trying out a new rotation in his starters playing Kel'el at the five and Bam at four. Kel'el is rebounding extremely well but what he gives us on the glass he takes on points. Bam had two made threes that I saw, another sign of the change. But, we don't have Jimmy anymore. Wiggins hasn't arrived yet. When Tyler is cold we have Terry, that's all. Terry had a great first half. Spo gave the second half touches and shots to Tyler. Apparently Spo thought Tyler would shoot his way out of it. Twenty-two shots when the nearest guy (Terry) has fifteen is poor play-calling by the coach. Spo made the reverse mistake two games ago, having Terry shoot (and miss) us out of the game. Spo has made some uncharacteristic coaching blunders this season. 

But we're young. We're incomplete. This game, and our last L, read very much like a team too young to know how to close a game. And the coach hurt us.
