Message: [QUOTE="Hunt for 7, post: 5252841, member: 12414"] The magic is our coaching staff. They can create a game plan that is superior when they face a team they have not played. Our staff is great at throwing wrinkles in game plans that the opponent does not expect. That is why we usually do so well during the tough OOC games we play before conference play begins.Tough to put those wrinkles in when playing teams that you play all the time. Of course not so much in Maui this year but hey everyone has a bad day or two. We probably go deep in that tourney if Hurley did not lose it and cost us the Memphis game. I think it took the team some time to mentally get over that and I mean not just the players but the coaches. There was just so much self induced and outside pressure on this team. I think it would have been better to play the wo is me card at the beginning of the year. Saying we lost so much to the NBA. Hurley could have relieved the pressure by saying these kids will be a good team by March how good I don’t know. Instead of telling anyone that would listen that we were primed and loaded for a threepeat. But as always hind sight is 20/20. All that matters is we have the best staff in the country right now as a group they are just so much better than what anyone else has, IMO it is similar to the advantage Alabama had in football with Saban.
