Ulis and Co. expressed multiple times in the post-game that they took it personally that WVU players didn't think they played hard enough. So they paid attention.

And yet you agreed that they don't always play hard.

People hear this and think there will be extra motivation as opposed to if the WVU kid said nothing. What gets lost is these players at these higher levels are going to find the thing, anything needed to motivate them. So if the WVU kid didn't say it, they would have just moved on to the next thing and found something else to motivate them. Meaning, they would have been max motivated and giving max effort regardless.

They play hard enough. They don't always have to "play hard". WVU players suggested they couldn't play as hard as they do and they obviously could.

Apples and oranges.

I wonder how you'd feel if you clearly thought they let off the gas up 14 in teh title game and ended up losing. You'd probably be railing against the effort.

Like I said, they don't have a problem turning it back on. But I doubt that will be an issue going forward. You're in the Elite Eight at this point. It's all tough matchups from here.

So no, I'm not particularly worried. Their results speak for themselves.
