You made some very good points, especially the thing about "overachievement"--I think that is key in this team's swoon of late.  All of our current starters perhaps excluding Lou who is playing at peak level, are good players but not great players, with some for the first time--Nika and AE--being considered for All-American honors. Aubrey has also had a breakout year, Dorka as well.

The great difference between a good player and a great player is consistency, sustained excellence, and these good to very good players feel that they have overachieved, particularly with all the injuries and the short bench, and all the praise heaped upon them from our fan base and even Geno.

What we have here, like it or not, for good or for bad, it is a "satisfied" team, satisfied with where they are and what they've accomplished, and have exhausted all their mental energy in doing so.  These are not great players but good players, who have played beyond expectation--As presently constituted, this team has perhaps maxed out and Geno has his work cut out for him to raise the bar of expectation and remove their sense of satisfaction and complacency...
