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?

I remember the tournament his senior year and dunking on T.Duncan

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.

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 agree; the weather affected that game as much as the opponent.
