Brian, I think I understand what you are saying. The Duke game was clearly the zenith of our season. They played their hearts out. They won! And then - collapse. I can't figure out why. What do you think?

I don't understand this logic and it's the second time I've seen it posted. Maybe I'm not understanding it but if we lose that game we would be in a better position now is how I'm reading it. If I may inquire, why and how does that make any sense?

My logic is that there was so much put into that game - on the court obviously, but then everything surrounding off the court. That game was treated like the Super Bowl. We won, played great, it was night to remember, etc, etc. It's hard to get back up after such a high. I've seen it other sports with teams. Obviously not saying it's the sole reason for the swoon but I think it's part of it.
