For those of you defending our effort this year

For those of you who have said it's totally unfair to say UD just didn't play that hard, they gave everything they had this year: Watch the last 2 Baylor games.

Then watch UD replays from this year.

Then watch the last 2 Baylor games again.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a team just flat-out get after it on every possession, at every position, for nearly every second of the game. Arkansas under Nolan Richardson?? Some of Huggy's best teams (I hate the guy but his teams played HARD)? Baylor's centers were deep in a stance and shutting down some of the best guards in the NCAA last night. On switches, Baylor's guards were fighting harder than a really high quality big man from Gonzaga.

We got maybe 3-5 possessions per game this year with that kind of intensity. Baylor had it for all but maybe 3-5 possessions of the entire game. That's a team that just wanted to win worse than their opponent.

It doesn't take talent to play with that kind of effort. There are a few guys in particular who I think basically mailed it in this year. We definitely could have been an NCAA team if we had played 75% of the time with that kind of grit.
