end of college season thoughts

This should have been written a while ago. Penn State at regionals.

Our performance at regionals was average. It wasn't bad, we didn't play terribly. It also wasn't consistently good enough. We had some very nice moments of greatness to come back and win a game when we were down at half time. We ended up placing two higher than our seed, which is a nice measure of success.

I suppose you can't expect too much when it is your first year back to regionals after being suspended. I suppose it is also very hard to expect high results (playing on Sunday, being in the run for nationals) when only 10 of your 18 players come to practice on a regular basis. That is probably one of the most frustrating things for me this year, and I know it was for the two captains. When you see a team with good on paper potential, but then no one comes to practice, you can't get results.
