Team could be wearing out. Also, colds, flu, etc., really affect team play when you have few good reserves. We all knew this would be an issue this year.

Teams with flaws are easier to beat later in the season.

Funny how that works. It's almost as if there is more film to watch and teams figure out that packing it in the paint and double teaming Lawson is a good idea.

We have film too though,right ?

True, but if your team is limited, it is easier for teams to adjust and force you to deal with your weaknesses. Bottom line, we are not a good outside shooting team and teams can double and focus on Dedric with much reduced risk of suffering a kick-out three.

Followed CBB for a long time-first time I've ever heard this excuse.

Yup...It still blows my mind we are still setting a high screen for Martin and the guy is nowhere near concerned with him shooting it and just goes under the screen and is waiting for him...There is no open Roller because the big doesn't have to challenge the shot either.

We are a very flawed team...

Take away Martins left hand
Press up on Crawford...He isn't an aggressive player
Everyone not guarding Crawford help on Dedric.

You don't even have to run a zone...We zone ourselves.

Coaching is hard?

Conference is not as weak as we thought it was, and our schedule was a bit back-loaded. And, yeah, the play started slipping at Florida. I tend to think Lawson drama is the leading cause and the curfew incident is a symptom, but not sure.

FWIW, ever since the Temple debacle, the oddsmakers pretty much have us dialed in. We have barely covered the spread the last 3 games.

We're just playing better competition and not finishing games particularly well IMO. Don't know if it's us getting worse or just a team of 6 players getting tired from a long season.
