That's what happened in Milwaukee tonight. The worst defensive team and worst rebounding team in the league held us to our season low point total and out-rebounded us.
With the deficits we've faced against all three of our Big East opponents before tonight, it was unlikely that we could pull off that stunt for a fourth consecutive time.
This team needs to realize it cannot play 20 minute games. It may have worked against Creighton, St. John's and Butler, but it won't work over the long haul. 40 minute efforts are required to win big in this league.
