This concerns me greatly. We did hustle and play all-to-the-wall last year and I loved watching the intensity and effort of last year's team under Rupp. They were fun to watch and gave us their best. Yet I've seen us clearly outhustled and out energized against nlULM and Centenary, and it sounds like that happened at McNeese. Last year reminded me of my two years in exile in grad school (and purgatory) at an unnamed Baton Rouge college. There was a young coach and students and roommates kept talking about coming to see basketball and the "gonzo, whacko," play hard-as-hell effort under some new coach named Dale Brown. Boy did they play all out. I feel like our Dawgs did that last year and that's what I want to see this year.
