Disappointing tournament for me personally. A team can't always be great

offensively, but any team can always play great defense. And that is my rub. This team can play great defense every time out if they want to. It takes want-to and desire. Coach MY is supposed to be a defensive minded coach. We shall see. Realize Tobi Lawal is an important part of this team and the results of yesterday and today may have been different if he played. Nevertheless, great defense often translates into good offense. I'm hopeful this team turns it up a notch or two and comes out of the gate willing to play great defense moving forward.

Why can't we get motivated to start a game or half?
