This time of year, freshmen tend to hit a wall. We are playing multiple true freshmen more minutes this season than all but a handful of freshmen in the country. We literally have no other options. Our guys are just absolutely worn out compared to the rest of the country. That's why we are losing by 30 to a bad vandy team at home (not that we have a home court advantage). Not to mention, the sheer snowballing of L after L including some heartbreaking loses starts to work on your head. Especially when a majority of the team are true freshmen with no real leader on the team.
Yeah yeah, excuses, blah. Whatever, these are legit reasons why we look so bad right now. No coach in the country would have won double digit games for us this year. I think the ray hiring was a pretty big miss, but I think the guy gets a complete pass this year and better show signs of life next year.
