As Mike Tyson famously said: "everyone has a plan until they get hit in the mouth".

Earlier in the season when we were blowing out everyone, including some very good teams, nobody was defending us before midcourt and they were often so worried about our inside game they would give our perimeter players room to operate, anticipating the need to sag into the lane.

Conference play began and teams started defending us differently.  They became more aggressive pressuring our ball handlers, more physical in half court sets (where we very often got the wrong end of a foul call) and we haven't yet responded to this.

With our size, depth and athleticism we should be able to find some positive response to everything that gets thrown at us but that hasn't happened yet.  This is primarily on the coaching staff with a small amount of blame to our veteran leaders on the court.

Once again we appear all too often to be a team without much of a basketball IQ.
