Message: [QUOTE="Tenspro2002, post: 2557906, member: 889"] I agree, I don't think it was motivation, it was the lights being too bright for that team. "Wilt", "choke", "succumbed to pressure", whatever words you want to use to describe it, the team played tight. It showed from the first possession where their defense easily picked off one of our passes. Collier missing shots she made 90%+ all year, which frankly continued through the first half of this year (though she has looked much better lately). Nurse and Lou playing tentative. Gabby kept us in that game, but even she was missing layups. Chong reverted to junior-year Chong at exactly the wrong time. So, to call it "motivation" is wrong. But it was definitely a mental issue. Perhaps last night is an indication that, at least for the Core 4, who were exceptional, they've finally put that game behind them. [/QUOTE]
