No doubt, tired legs.
Chris R has a great post from the wee hours today that includes a commentary about how VCU’s depth and our lack of it made a big difference in the outcome. If our best players on the day only had to go 25-30 minutes instead of 32-38, we’d have had a much better chance of pulling this one out. A few more minutes of rest (especially against a suffocating defense like VCU’s) would have made a world of difference.
Also, FWIW, we wound-up running into Mikesell and his family after the game, while waiting for a table at a restaurant near UD. Poor guy was so exhausted, he wound-up sitting on the floor of the entry way, because the actual waiting area was too crowded. I went up to the hostess to have them get a chair out of storage for him, which the hostess gladly provided. You could see Ryan was flat-out exhausted after that effort he gave. The least I could do was get him a chair to sit on.
