I hate to say this, but McConnell’s play played a factor in the loss

0-5 and a -10. But what's worse was Harper's play. 0-3 at the stripe and missed a few open 3s and more disturbing was his lack of aggressive play. No mid range shots only 1 or 2 drives. Showed no life. He did that a lot last year where he was just Mia some games. He needs to be more involved.

I thought the whole team lost their edge a bit. You can't assume you are going to win just because you get Harper back. You still have to play with some sense of urgency and passion. The team gave effort but was pretty sloppy at times and made poor decisions. Dribbling too much, dribbling into the paint with too many defenders around, missing layups - even a pass through the legs if Im not mistaken.

And then there were the fts. I think they made them against Purdue because they were laser focused with the loss of Harper. Today it kinda seemed they expected they were going to win and lost focus. No killer mentality.
