Message: [QUOTE="msf22b, post: 3021897, member: 656"] True, we can play our best and lose (although its unlikely). But for me, the problem is that we are not playing our best. Our various, talented team of highly rated high-school all-Americans is underachieving. This board has regularly criticized programs from Maryland to Duke to UTenn among others in which talented players graduated seemingly without reaching their potential nor winning national titles. Well, this season, we're looking at it right here and it's hard to compute and I think an important cause of the dismay, occasionally expressed. I've suggested a reason (makes sense to me, but I won't repeat it again), but the board seems unwilling to take it up...even to denigrate it. The only conclusion I can draw is that the discussion here is less serious and less informed than it was 4 or 5 years ago. There were tough losses then too...one overtime loss in which the team did play very well and still was defeated comes particularly to mind. But I recall a more penetrating search for answers. Less so now. [/QUOTE]
