[QUOTE="Papillion, post: 129538279, member: 1643924"] I don't see why anyone would say it's "broken" after a 26 win season and a conf final game. But you hit the nail on the head with the mental softness thing. All one needs to do is look back at the Kentucky game last year and a few guys talking trash or just plain talking tough against an UNDEFEATED team that deep into the season. Look what happened when they realized UK was that good. Or the collapse against UVA when they couldn't figure them out. But Huggs could take a little blame as well. I was impressed with an improved half court offense but it still goes back to what he wants to do for certain parts of the game and it's all out or nothing. Not enough flexibility that I can see. It's nice to drive the ball but when it isn't there why keep doing it? Not talking about tonight as much as in general. For crying out loud, mid way through the second half and maybe earlier, they were getting a few open mid range shots, faking it then driving and missing it. So they got fouls. It didn't help their game. I said it a while back and it's that one track mind this team seemed to have. I don't think this is a bad shooting team at all. We were loaded at guard, plenty of big men. A very diverse team but when you stubbornly force things that aren't there of course you're going to miss shots, inside or out. I just don't see a reason why a team would continue to do things that aren't working. And no one is going to convince me that the team pressing is burning less energy than the team being pressed. That's ridiculous. When it isn't working just back the phuck off and do it in spurts to give the other team something to think about. This wasn't embarrassing or bad, it was humiliating. Especially the way they finished those last few minutes of the game. No excuse for that. It all goes back to the very beginning of the season though, when Huggs said himself after giving his team a few compliments that they just do some very dumb things at times and they kept it up to the 35th game of the year. I was also disturbed by a comment I read by Huggs though. It was something about we only do what we can do so why do or try something else. I may be off a bit but it came off like he didn't have a lot of confidence in his team's ability to be flexible and I'm wondering if he's the inflexible one? [/QUOTE]
