Message: [QUOTE="OptimusOtto, post: 4905516, member: 8554"] I think the biggest thing that remains to be seen with this team is how they respond when the "get punched in the mouth." Yes we roared back against Colgate and overcame a sluggish start against Oregon. But against teams that we aren't better than on paper - i.e. Virginia and Gonzaga - we seemed to fold. That's the only explanation for Virginia especially and how many wide open looks they were able to generate. I'm hoping the last few weeks between JJ and Cope emerging and getting some wins away from the Dome we're better prepared for conference play. I'm going to give the team the benefit of the doubt and chalk some of those early games up to new coach and system. We'll find out really quickly with a Pittsburgh team we lost to twice with a quick turnaround to a game in Cameron. [/QUOTE]
