I remember in Rupp's first year being amazed at the the fire our team played with, and the way they played together. I remember really looking forward to see that same fire and discipline executed by all that talent we had waiting on the bench. It seems like we lost that fire and discipline when then talent became the starters.
The first year had me convinced that Rupp is the kind of coach who can create synergistic effects,
squeezing performance out of a team that is greater than the sum of its parts. Haven't seen that since the first season, though.
