I think your being too kind in your assessment. The quest for the WAC 'ship has sailed on Lopes. Any more talk from players or coaches about it is just silliness. Majerle should use rest of the season to figure out what he really has in younger players.

If you really can't get the team to execute things you work on everyday in practice, as he has inststed after both wins and losses this season, changes need to be made. Whether it's players, coaches, or both, somethings gotta give. There is no excuse for dramatic lapses in energy, effort, attention & attitude we've seen from Lopes this year.

It's pretty embarrassing. To continue talking about a WAC championship at this point would border on delusional.
