We are simply a collection of players going thru the motions.
In all my 30 yrs of watching Hawkeye basketball, I've never seen anything like this.
There is no life, no passion, no communication, no encouragement, no anger, no happiness...just apathy and what appears to be an outright quitting by the players.
Something has obviously happened that has nothing to do with skill, talent, or basketball in general. Between our tough win at Penn State and the game against Wisconsin something occurred that splintered the team. Go back and watch the highlights against our OT win against Xavier and guys were zoned in, chest bumping and playing like a team. Same thing in our outright demolition of Michigan. We may never know what it was, but it's apparent to even the most casual of observers that this collection of players (I'm not going to call them a team) is splintered and no longer enjoys playing with each other.
Simply unbelievable!
