It's clear we've been broken for a few games now, with the exception of the second half of Monday's OU game. You can point to defense, ball movement, whatever...but when you're broken nothing works like it's supposed to so it's impossible to pinpoint any one thing as the solution.
I will say this...I think this team lacks the "grit" (to use an overused word) that some of our other teams have had. Instead of being able to pull themselves out of funks they often seem to spiral further. The effort can be lackluster sometimes. Perhaps it's as easily explained as the lack of a charismatic leader like a Niang or Naz, or the youth on the team.
But sometimes in my own mind I come back to the comments Prohm made numerous times in the offseason, about the pride of playing for this program, wearing this jersey, playing for each other, etc. This is pure speculation on my part, but perhaps with Lard's issues, NBA talk for THT and Wigginton, and who knows what else is going on...maybe chemistry and egos are a problem.
