And it is maddening. Our coaches approached this game as mental underdogs and I think that permeated to the team. “Run the clock! Limit possessions!” And then our guys start thinking we’re the underdogs and play like it.

If we came within a play or two of beating the #6 team at home I’d be thrilled with the teams effort. But when we’re #6 it’s a turd. We played scared and gave them so much respect that it bit us in the butt when a couple bounces didn’t go our way.
