re: Poor defense all season is finally catching up to basketball team...

As others have mentioned, defense is a part of the game that doesn't get the praise or highlight reel spots. You have to have it instilled in your game. Your defensive motor should run at 110% even in practice. That will translate into the game day attitude. That below average Auburn team ran up and down the court and scored almost at will. I don't think being tired has too much to do with it...I've run games (back in the day) playing point and I focused mainly on defense and dishing the ball and didn't really have an issue with being tired when I was "in the zone"...just didn't feel it. Getting in foul trouble, i could understand that being an issue. These guys only want the ball after the inbounds pass. Kentucky will destroy this team if they don't show a fire in their belly.
