Victory?

I finally made it to the fifth game of Notre Dame's season, and my fears were confirmed. Although Notre Dame did win the game easily (87-75), it seemed like the players didn't care much for the game. At one point they were cruising, and led by as much as 26 points. Once they built up the lead they started playing sloppy, missing easy shots and letting Youngstown St. steal the ball away. If YSU had been a better opponent, they could have easily come back and won the game.

This seems to be a trend, with disappointing losses to Georgia Tech and Baylor, both games that we should have won. If we continue to ease up when we take the lead, we will continue to lose games against good teams and have a horrible season. Monday we take on Colgate. I will be in attendance.
