This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

For three quarters, by NDLAW88
we went toe to toe despite missing FT's and layups and letting good passes fall out of bounds (loved when Arike did the double scoop layup/brick when we were down 55-50 in the 3rd Q). I kept waiting for one of the runs we tend to unleash that reflect our mental toughness. I think the team just had a collective let down when it didn't come before the 5 minute remaining mark in the 4th Q and then all hell broke loose with bad shots/loss of poise and whatever the hell Arike was trying to do on D.
