Won't disagree with you but just think about how much this team relied on these 4 freshmen this season. Twas all well and good until they ran into a team of men. Just think how much experience those 8 seniors have under their belt? Those guys went out and took it while Bama kept waiting for it to come to them.
I didn't want to bring this up but I noticed none of our guys looked visibly upset or super disappointed after the game. Heck, there were kids from #16 seed teams that were balling after losing in the 1st round. Even some of the Maryland players were crying after losing to a Bama team they didn't have much of a shot at beating.
I don’t think we were emotional because once the Davis situation came out or players were conditioned to be business like. Take a business like approach. I know our play dropped off and we lost some passion. We were just more athletic than everyone we played. Oats had a terrible tourney. It showed against SDST. He was at a lose for words at half. No game plan. Didn’t use his TO’s when they went on runs. Let his assistants interview a fly all over the country during prep time. Fouled their best player down by only 2 with 41 seconds left. Never put Miller in spaces to succeed until right before half. Terrible coaching job.
