Try only to make big predictions when I think the conditions are right- Team chemistry positive, match up favorable, intangibles like we lost too many close ones in a while & players in a funk would break out at some point, etc. If we would have won at Syracuse I probably would have been inclined to call for a 3 game winning streak, but once we crapped ourselves I was figuring we'd play like a neutered dog against Puke. Bark a lot at the beginning & then roll over and go to sleep.
As things turned out I couldn't even watch the game. Got a text saying we were up at the half but not by much. Might as well put a fork in us at that point against Puke.
Let me guess, we eked out a halftime lead only to go nutless in the 2nd half. Nobody wanted to shoot, we got deep into the shot clock every possession & heaved up a low percentage shot, started fouling like crazy and whoever was scoring for us or playing good D had to ride the pine for a good portion of the half, we poorly substituted, had 1 or more prolonged scoring droughts & then just generally crapped ourselves when the game was still winnable. Close?
