Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 2469431, member: 1414"] And that's part of what I'm including in "basketball IQ", understanding the level of effort required on each and every possession and overestimating their talent vs the opponent. They did it briefly against Coppin, then went back to playing at half speed, content to coast against a team they thought was inferior. I said in the summer that what I wanted most to see from this team, was players drenched in sweat, who were raising their hands to be subbed out because they needed a rest. Haven't seen it once. From anyone. We have a deep enough bench that these guys should not be saving themselves, yet I get the sense that most of them are. Purvis, whatever his faults, did not play that way last year, even with a short bench. [/QUOTE]
