All of them--the players and coaches--should indeed be saluted. All HATS OFF, for sure! What an effort by all of them!

Too, if players aren't fatigued from playing so unbelievably hard, the turnovers likely don't occur there. We were just SO CLOSE. It was a one-possession game. Opportunities had been missed earlier, but how many times did the Cats, undermanned and outmatched, REFUSE TO LOSE. Time after time they came through with key baskets, although they finally ran out of gas and and could not come through during the final possession.

Indeed, ALL HATS OFF to the UK players and their coaches!!!
