So Close...Yet So Far Away...

Anyone that just watched College of Charleston lose to Maryland by a single point knows how close the Cougars got to cashing in on a key SoCon early season win. They just couldn't quite get it done.

Here's the deal: Goudelock is good. Very good. The rest of the Cougars are OK. CofC was very lucky to be in the game- because the Cougars turned the ball over a ton, and Maryland was pathetic from the free throw line. If the Terps had made some free throws, then this game would have been a much bigger difference. If the Cougars had been able to avoid turnovers on the offensive end, the would never have blown their late lead.

The Cougars are good. They may be the best in the SoCon. But they are turnover prone. And they are still CofC- the team that can look brilliant out of conference, and then not find a way to win the tournament once it is here.
