Anyone who says a team lost because they didn’t want it bad enough, never played sports. That is a ridiculous comment. I said something along those lines and I played sports, at Ohio actually. "Wanting it" means, to me, the intensity and focus and effort a team puts forth in the contest. IMO, EMU played with much more of those factors than we did. Is that the only reason we lost? No. I do think it was a factor in why we lost, especially early in the game. Do I think we didn't "want" it? No, they play to win every game. I just thought EMU brought more on that particular night.

It's not unheard of (not necessarily ours) that some players might have one foot in and one out as a byproduct of that in today's college sports.

They have a game Saturday. Crazy what is going on in college sports these days.

No matter how disappointing this season may be, ( I don’t think that) we still have another chance in the MAC tourney.

I think it's pretty low probability, but it's non-zero for sure. Maybe 10%? Hard to put a number on it without seeing the draw and knowing AJBs status.

That 18-22 year olds might mentally check out of something that hasn't gone their way? Sure, I don't disagree there's a chance come MAC tourney time. However, odds are very, very, slim as BLSS stated above.
