We lost because every player lost their confidence. Wasn’t x’s and o’s, wasn’t officiating, wasn’t Duke’s god-like talent, it came down to the basic quality that all winners must have: confidence.

I’ve never witnessed a team’s confidence peak and then disappear as quickly. It was like witnessing a sports psychology experiment. I don’t know what CCM could have done to prevent the 2nd half collapse, but the team needs to develop a killer instinct fast.
