No defending the lack of effort and toughness on both ends early on, it was terrible, but I'm not sure how Pace was planning to make it 40 mins with how they were playing really.  We need to be able to play through contact and get tougher especially when the other team is going to play handsy fouling all game.  We've seen this story before with playing down the to the competition even in the late Boeheim years.  I dont' think we were even sweating, just going through the motions.

You can see the bright spots though.  Had to check back to see and Pace scored only 1 point over 7 mins of game time in the 2nd half when the fouls caught up to them and we played hard and they ran out of steam.  I'm not sure we did anything different just played tougher D and pounded it inside.  Same pace guys from earlier in the game just we were half awake.

I believe we have 9 ACC level players overall and for sure 7 any given day.  Last year we had about 2-3 ACC caliber players any given game. Now someone's gotta light a fire under their asses and figure out the real rotations.
