What is happening???

We have a huge weekend of basketball approaching us. This year our team has overachieved. We were not supposed to be particularly good, yet we won another conference title, while remaining in the top 25 poll most of the season. But as with any season, adversity has come. Unfortunately for us, its come at the worst time. We have lost two of our last three games, both to teams we had previously beaten, and frankly who had no right to be on the same floor as us. To be honest, I'm not sure what has gone wrong. Have we become overconfident? Possibly. But I wouldn't be writing this if I thought that was the only reason behind our demise. Our offense has become stagnant and predictable. The offense we ran earlier in the season known as "23" has been completely abandoned for the triangle offense known as "14." But more importantly, the chemistry of our team has suffered. We've been bickering and even in-fighting; something a championship team cannot do if it expects to win. If we do not win both games this weekend, we will most likely be on the outside looking in to the NCAA Tournament, despite having been a fixture in top 25 all season long... Wow.
