In his post game comments, after a lesser effort such as last night’s disengaged let’s-get-this-over-with victory against the Colonials, the master Denny Crum would have said as he did many times, “You need to have a healthy respect for your opponent.”
Chris Mack wasn’t as succinct as that, while offering the same observation.
”To me, this game was about our inability to be ready to play. We were playing uphill the entire game and it was because of having the wrong mindset.”
It’s the holidays. Too much egg nog. Too many cookies. Too much distraction. Team leader on the bench, nursing a bopped noggin’.
