[QUOTE="IllinistuckinGopherland, post: 1509284, member: 519983"] With a day to reflect, my thought is that too much emphasis is being placed on “lack of effort” or somehow not being as pumped up for this game as they were. We had a lead 10-15 minutes into the game despite a couple of prayer-threes going in for Mizzou. As fans, we are crazy-excited for this game - but a more calm, business-like demeanor was working for the players. Then Cuonzo made some adjustments on defense and we didn’t score a bucket for 15 minutes. Only after that did we lose all heart and start giving up multiple tip back points. It’s either a bad offense, or an offense that only works with an assist-minded leader. Add to that, we don’t make adjustments on par with other coaches. Hopefully, this offer just needs a real point guard to be successful. But even then, it’s not yet January and we are in “wait till next year” mode. Sucks to be us. Again. I L L [/QUOTE]
