Close again. Frustrated again. The education on the painfully small margin between winning and losing continues to torment Wichita State.
Florida Atlantic coach Dusty May can sympathize.
His teams went through similar struggles in close games before last season's run to the Final Four. The 20th-ranked Owls continue to win this season and possess a solid NCAA Tournament resume.
Teams like May's seem to get all the bounces. They play well enough to earn many of those breaks, turn 50-50 balls into 60-40 and close calls seem to go their way at the crucial times.
