Take a moment and digest this:
Basketball is played as much between the ears as on the court. At some point, this Georgia team decided they were good enough to show up and win. They're not.
I have no idea how a team that has lived life on the edge for much of the season could have decided they were ok to coast. I look to the coach in instances like this, because it's his job to have his team in the right mindset. An off game? That happens. Two in a row? That can't.
Fox is saying the right things, at least:
“We’re not hungry anymore,” Mann said. “We’re settled with where we are now.”
Why is that?
“I have no idea,” he said.It's quotes like that, moreso even than the game results, that have me worried this morning.

“We made it harder on ourselves,” Fox said. “We’ve got no one to blame but the person in the mirror. We can still accomplish what we set out to do. We made it much harder. We could use our health as an excuse but that’s a cop-out. We’ve gotta grow up.”We'll find out Saturday if anything is sinking in.
