[QUOTE="JFGsCoffeeMug, post: 1577487, member: 74571"] The issue is clear: lack of consistency, focus, and energy. The solution is less clear. Could be leadership from upperclassmen. Could be more coaching. But I think it boils down to pride and competitive edge. The team is a little too comfortable allowing opponents to go on big runs right now. Whether it means running crisp offense or locking down on defense, this team needs to see it as totally unacceptable to allow an opponent to completely impose their will on the game for any significant period of time. We are just giving games away and it's not happening at the end; it's happening when we lose the battle of wills. [/QUOTE]
