Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 3446853, member: 1414"] Yes, I love that we don't fold like a cheap deck chair anymore. It's great to be in every game to the end. No doubt. And credit to the guys and coach for that. But what I saw yesterday wasn't maximum effort. I saw way too much of those habits from before (from almost everyone but Whaley). Lazy defense, not crashing the boards, not paying attention to the game situation. Yes, they stayed close and lost in 2 OT, to a team they were up by 12 against (for very good reason). Temple is a vastly less talented team than even the shorthanded version of UConn that showed up yesterday. I guess what I am saying is, some of our close losses were games where we competed out butts off and didn't pull it out. Some, including yesterday, were games where the other team competed their butts off against a UConn team that wasn't really doing all they could, and which should have been able to win without it being close.
