I think the lack of depth, combined with injuries, caught up with MIT. If you look at their 3FG% the last 1/4 of the season or so, it fell off pretty drastically. Hopefully, with some more depth coming in next year, they will be a better team going into the postseason, instead of peaking about 20 games into the year.
Either way, a great and memorable season. Congrats to seniors Billy Johnson and Pat Sissman on great careers. The future looks bright for MIT, hopefully they will be able to build on this success.
hugenerd,
I completely agree with you assessment. I was able to finally get the video of the DeSales game to pull up on my computer. I think the guys legs were finally worn out. The late run in the second half was awesome but it took everything they had to send the game into overtime. When I saw on the stat sheet that MIT played 5 guys over 40 minutes, it really became apparent that lack of depth and injuries finally did them in. MIT is full of great young talent that now can be called veterans and hopefully the young guns coming in can contribute next year as much as the freshman did this year. I did some research on the four players that appear on the MIT blog and found some interesting stuff. This Baysinger kid is out with an injury but this article appeared from one of his playoff games last year.

From what I found it seems the other three are currently in their respective state playoffs...
This was a great team to follow this year and I look forward to following them in the years to come.
