...that Tennessee played with a ton of effort but hadn't gelled yet.
Bilas said they hustled and played with heart, but he criticized their decision-making -- JP's 3 in OT, going for steals instead of playing man-up, and mostly, not going on top of screens set on them in the perimeter, allowing Gonzaga approximately 793 open looks from 3 pt range.
The play-by-play guy (was it dan shulman?) had one quote in the second half that summed it up: "they're flying all over the place on defense right now. they may not know where they're supposed to be, but they're going all out."
The number of "dumb" mistakes far outweighed the number of "lazy" mistakes last night.
I still stand by my assessment that this team's problems have more to do with what's between their ears than what's in their hearts.
