Message: [QUOTE="Ralph, post: 3442856, member: 7048"] The first half was our best basketball of the year. Maybe the last 3 years. We beat a team now ranked near top 10 by a gazillion points. Then the second half, a complete reversal. They beat us by a gazillion minus about 5 and we just barely hung on for the win. What went so right in the first half. what changed at half time for the reversal? Did Doug Bruno make some magical adjustment? Did Geno change something that backfired? Did a pixie fly over the arena and sprinkle missed shot and sleepytime pixie dust on our players. But the most important question, how do we get back to doing whatever it was we were doing in that first half. Play like that and we go to FF and have a good chance for NC. Play like the second half and we don't even win the AAC championship and we go out in the first round of the NCAA. How can a team be so different so suddenly. Reminded me of the awful game against Syracuse where we up by something over 30 and the Cuse went on a 20-0 run with us throwing up bricks and committing turnover after turnover. Maybe on both occasions the other team just started pressing and we could not handle it??? Got totally complacent and had trouble regrouping??? [/QUOTE]
