There is a difference between being picked to be upset and getting blown out in the 1st ten minutes of the game.
People seem to forget we first embarrassed ourselves in the ACCT against MD, when we were probably on the NCAA bubble. In that game, it seemed several players were completely ignoring Odom. No idea how you go from that crappy game to looking past anyone.
Sure our guards lost their confidence, helped by Davey's refusal to adapt. UVA exposed us in January. The were the first to figure out that Duncan was going to score, so take your chances he's not getting 50 and focus on our perimeter shooters. The season was effectively over from there as Odom would not change up the offense to adjust. And as pointed out previously, where were the hot shooting frosh and sophs to bring anything to the offense. He banked Tim's entire senior season on Rutland, Braswell and Peral. We teams took them away, he had zero options on the bench.
