I think it has to do with the leadership, lack of identity and chemistry. It just snowballed with Houston and totally got away from them. They were very lacking in basic things like boxing out on rebounds and being in position on defense. Instead of refocusing and buying into what the coach wants them to do, they reverted to whatever it was we saw in the second half.
Like KY said, the older guys like Hall need to be more aggressive. We need those guys to lead, but we will also need it from the young guys too. I think Catchings did well and Egor needs to figure it out. If you are going to be one of our better players, you need to step up in this movements.
Everyone looked hesitant and scared in the Houston game. Someone has to lead out there.
