I don't think the game was in doubt but the end of the game was not comfortable. We need to maintain the same amount of defense and intensity from beginning to end. Can't let teams think they have a chance.
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.
"If you're not coaching it, you're allowing it". "25 Strong" This coach is special. I could listen to him for hours. He's the real deal, the energy oozes out of him even in the press conferences!
Other teams may be more talented but PK is not going to let another team out prepared him.

What are we doing for this game against wake? Like for real? We have like Easter colors for the trim on gray unis. What is with the pink blue yellow and green going around the jersey?
Those were just alternate Dirt Bowl uniforms. Come on Man. I don’t what you saw at your house but on my Tv those uniforms Popped off the screen. Kinda like the Black uniforms did two games back.Also let’s keep it a buck, Adidas has to do everything it can to compete with Nike.If that means we wear new uniforms every game then so be it, if we can continue to attract and bring in next classes top recruits.
The thing I've most enjoyed in conference play is the lack of doubt in the outcome as the game has progressed. Other than Pitt, these guys have put games away early, weathered runs and erased doubt about who was the better team. They are getting better and better despite injuries and it's all due to PK. Still think we are going to be 3 seed or higher despite missing Johnson and Pryor.
It's really better for the guys to have that break in focus physically and mentally when you're up 30. Save the energy because they're playing a lot of minutes.
It wasn't on purpose but it's a natural thing to let up winning by 30 halfway through the 2nd half. These dudes play hard on both defense and offense. It's unreal when you really think about it.
The end of that game stunk. Anyone know how long we went without making a basket? It felt like an hour. It's a win, let's just keep on winning. We score exactly half, 24, of what we scored in the first 48
Yeah, the sense of urgency changing and all the bs that slowed the game down and really put us on ice certainly contributed. We were good when it mattered.
