Rutgers Postgame comments

Personally, I just wish we had more exclamation points in our posts.

Lacking bball IQ is one thing

Being lazy is another

I think some on here and Mick are bashing the wrong attribute of these guys. I see hustle time in and time out. To me they hustle so much that they get out of position and that can be attributed to low bball IQ

But I honestly do not think this team is lazy

I don't think Mick is calling them lazy, he said they were soft and lacked mental toughness and don't want to listen to his coaching. The way I take that is they got a few wins under them and they lose their hunger and their focus. We lost to Presbyterian and Marshall, so there is no Big East team out there that can't beat us if we don't go out there and execute. Anyone who watched the Rutgers game can easily see it wasn't the same team that beat Pitt and UConn and not even the same team that lost to WV or Syracuse. This team has to be at 100% to be good. We have talent, but we are streaky and inconsistent. When we are not hungry it shows. Our defense is a little lax (although still solid), we forget how to rebound and we force shots. We got outplayed on Saturday.

Mick is just trying to motivate them like any great coach. They've gotten complacent. He knows they are working their butts off but they need to play smarter
