Probably the worst mental effort I have seen since MYs first season

The attention to detail and lack of urgency until it was too late was very bothersome. There were multiple times when they would lose an assignment, but then BC was so bad that there was enough time for VT to recover, but they had almost resigned to giving them the easy bucket. Not sure I've ever been more embarrassed for an effort in MYs tenure... Unsure who the scout was for BC, but the way VT handled their naked ball screen was either the most poorly executed scout or a horrific job of preparation. I think they fully expected to roll over BC, which is insane considering not a single person in VT uniform has ever beaten BC. Disheartening performance, and I'm sure MY was embarrassed too. I would hate (actually I'd love) to be in their film session today

This isn't the first time this season where we've been awful on screens.

I'm glad you shed light on the "scouting" aspect of the matchup.

To the untrained eye, they just seemed to be struggling mentally.
