re: Was this the worst loss of the year?

Yes, because of what was likely at stake and because of the lack of intentsity, preparedness and focus we showed up with.

I was worried about this game because every time it we experienced a little stretch of success the team seemed to revert back to the undisciplined and indifferent style that had plagued them in spots throughout the year.

But I never expected them to get the doors blown off them like that by a team that honestly in the last 5 games may have been playing as poorly as any team in the conference.

Inexcusable and very disappointing.

Defense I thought had made strides the second half of the year, then last night, back to the poor rotations and poor communication.

Rebounding is and effort and intensity stat, and that along with the poor rotations got us killed on the boards.

Mickey has lost his mojo and he was never a full energy and effort guy.

CJJ has had issues with accountability, discipline and motivation of team all year. When this team is motivated they are formidable. Unfortunately, it seems they too often are not.
