I think with the lack of a bench, the 7 guys that play simply let up after getting big leads. It may not be on purpose, but your intensity at harassing the ball and making hard cuts on offense, naturally diminish when you look at the scoreboard and you're up by 25 with 10 minutes to go. The starters are averaging 30+ minutes a game.
This is the biggest issue Kelsey has to figure out and when Waterman gets back, that will help some. Losing Pryor and Johnson may end up being the difference between making the sweet 16 and making the final 4.
Who would have thought that back in November?
