yup. handicapped our self out of championships, out of contention and out of being good.
If we had played a hard, tough game and lost to a more talented team or slightly better coached team that’d be fine. it’s not that we need to crush titles every year, we just need to not be blue collar. play physical, play a full game, don’t get blown out of the water physically etc
Doug Brown summed it up nicely on X about 6 hours ago:
"I think the frustration with this season does not lie in the reality that the championship era has come to a close. It's that it feels like the team never gave itself the best chance by what they didn't do to fill the cupboard. This season was a proverbial knife to a gunfight."
Yep, that's on Walters & maybe even Miller. A huge organizational blunder.
