I was told no way, but I still go back to conditioning.

That does make sense, considering the frequent late game collapses.

Short shots are a sign of tired legs.

The boys fight every game. We just lack the talent and inside game, we have been saying it. We also lack a truly talented D1 point guard. Can't wait until we have a new coach announcement to get this thing going.

Went look at ESPN analytics for all the remaining games. Only the NIU game the Cajuns are favored, but only 52%.

These guys deserve a break or two goes their way. Nobody has flat out quit.

Normally, I would say this had validity. However, they are playing 10 players almost every game. That makes me wonder about the conditioning. With so many guys playing, they should not have fatigue issues. Perhaps they have to give so much effort for 35 minutes just to stay in games due to lack of firepower that they don't have much left in last few minutes of the contest. Personally, I think it is mental. They tend to press at crunch time due to the pressure they impose on themselves.
