Not only attitude, but they are playing unselfish and making the extra pass....

These kinds of wins build on each other. We need another win Saturday night.

Good point....Zero techincal fouls and zero staring at refs after fouls was so refreshing...Lot of spirit from the bench also.

Not only attitude, but they are playing unselfish and making the extra pass.... Exactly. Being a lot more careful to avoid the charging fouls by not going all the way in and letting guys flop. Good sharing of the ball, JF and Shep played with controlled fury tonight. X big also.

This is what an experienced coach does. When a team is not listening, you let them lose. Use it as a teaching tool. Better to lose now then later on in the season.

Imagine what the score could have been if we had not lost that 14 point lead.
The thing that has bugged me about the Aztecs for years is that no lead is ever safe. For a team that has appeared regularly in the Top 25 the last 3 years, you would think we would blow out more teams and not lose big leads. I guess the important thing is that good teams always find a way to win. Our stats in close games is impressive. So many of those games did not have to be close.

As I have been posting all week. The Aztec's problem has not necessarily been different line-up and what players were on the court at the same time, but rather not playing team basketball. Last night it was evident they were trying to make the extra pass and run the offensive sets a little longer. The defensive intensity was also picked up a notch. They played like the Aztecs we have come to expect with energy and passion. Big game Saturday!

Being up by a lot kinda stops you from complaining about calls.

Good point, however, Jamaal and Winston have been complaining all year regardless of the score....This was the first time I have seen them both play with great focus.

Jamaal especially has been getting beat on by opposing teams.
