Message: [QUOTE="cap10dingus, post: 4489510, member: 9751"] Notes Overall the foul differential that we've seen over the last two games almost never continues for long stretches. Last night we got beat but 50/50 balls certainly favored the friars. Some of that is hustle some will correct itself naturally. This team and this fan base fell in love w/ 14-0, lost some of the edge and felt entitled. IF this team is going to be special it was always going to go through a tough stretch to get there. Too inexperienced on the road, in big games, and as a unit. This will either end up being the real team and we will finish top 6 in the BE maybe make the second weekend of the NCAA OR this will wake up a young but top 5 talented roster to be exceptional and achieve greatness. Either way I'm excited this is happening now instead of 3 weeks from now. Now we have enough time for a gut check and to rebound from mediocrity. A couple more shots drop, the foul disparity is slightly more level, and we hustle a little more that game is a bucket either way. This team is more talented than that, more talented and deeper than that Providence squad. Hurley flat out got outcoached and outmaneuvered last night. Fanatics overreact both positively and negatively. This team either way can beat any team in the country on a given night but they can be special. It's up to them if they are going to be special and lead (Jackson) or be a contender with guys who act like Andre did in the last minute of a 12 point game last night. I love the fight but let's also consider the situation, ramification, and respect of the game. I don't like what I'm seeing from this team on a attitude level RN. [/QUOTE]
