Tulane (2/8/25)

[CMJ]

We really need this one for seeding purposes and to stop the bleeding after two close losses.

I really need this to keep breathing.

Sad to say it but feel like we are in a free fall right now.  And I don't see it changing soon.

Two straight losses is not a free fall, it's just a streak.  If we lose four in a row, that's a free fall.

Perspective: we just played 4 games in 8 days.  Given the physicality of our style, and the 8 man rotation, this is pretty brutal.

I'm not justifying the losses - I know UAB matched that run - but I think it's reasonable to backtrack on any "free fall" thoughts, and be optimistic about 4 days of rest.

I understand this point. But I also always seem to disagree with it. At 18-25 years old I don't recall being sore, fatigued, battling my mental psyche in hopes of upcoming rest, etc. Just didn't happen and I don't think it happens for guys that are far and away more athletically gifted and in shape than I ever was. 

We just, lost. And there are other reasons for it. 

And if we don't come out and get more active on offense, knock down some early confidence building shots and get our guards going early we may lose again. Tulane is in the 2nd tier of AAC teams, the tier we are trending into. They aren't a slouch... like, uh, utsa.
