Tommy Lloyd's frank comments tonight about his team's performance reminded me of Lute Olson after Arizona lost against a mediocre Oregon team on the road in late February 1997, a month ahead of winning the national championship.
"On the road, we have to be mentally tougher," Olson said. "The team that played hardest and was mentally tougher, won the basketball game, no question about it.
"We get back into the game, and then it seems we pull back and dig ourselves another hole. We're not tough enough. You have to give more than a casual effort."
