I look at it this way .... they started off as if they weren't ready to play. Again!
There is something wrong with the team psyche (sp?) and it shows itself way too many times in this season. Archie talks about he didn't get the guys ready but where are their heads to begin with?
They are not god's gift to mankind and they sure as hell aren't the best team in college BB.
So why are they not ready to play at the start of a game?
There is definitely something wrong. It shows up at inappropriate times. Is is due to the almost mystical link with the team just now getting votes (abet only a couple) that they have to start losing a game or two? Is it related to a player (or two)? I don't know but it is a very real concern and it doesn't appear that Archie has yet to figure how to correct it ... and the players sure as hell haven't either!
