We got KILLED on the boards, Young had 2 points and 3 rebs, Murphy had 3 rebs

The team was good enough to be up 13 points on the road against a team that was undefeated at home and let it get away. We know they are capable of destroying teams so it comes down to the psyche for me. Are they tough enough on the road to overcome adversity when the home teams fight back?

We have more than enough physical talent to win it all. The big question is their mental toughness. It's easy to win by 21. It's tough to win by 1.

They don't have any mental toughness IMO.

They are shocked when they get in close games and don't play with the same efficiency. They take bad shots because they are too afraid to go attack the basket.

Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't be shocked to see us win the national title by winning 5 blowouts and being fortunate that our "tentative" mode gets us 1 close win. But the chances of winning the national title would skyrocket if this team would just freaking calm down and focus.
