I just couldn't take any more moving screens, charging fouls, reach-in fouls, and wide-open back door plays.
I hope that it comes out that several members of the team were sick and that accounts for their performance. The alternative is that the team really isn't as good as its lofty record. We have to be the worst 28-6, 2-seed in the Tournament.
I sure would rather have a 6-5 November/December and a 22-1 January/March. These late season swoons sure take away from the pleasure this team brought early in the year.
