I don't believe its a lack of conditioning for our losses. These young men are in tip-top shape. In every game each player is more tired near the end. This is why depth is super important. In our case in these past two games lack of depth with experience was a big factor plus injuries plus the other team gained momentum at just the right time. Leadership or lack thereof is critical during crunch time. Who is going to make a play? And then there is offensive and defensive play calling in critical moments of the game. I think we floundered in play calling in the last quarter.
We needed a "spark" for inspiration in the fourth quarter for those two games and didn't get it. Personally, i think it was a mistake to not get the ball into the hands of Bijan more often in the fourth on the edges. And if he was drained or tired then let Keilan have a go with his game breaking, fresh speed.
I have said more than once we are underutilizing Keilan. This is an on-going mistake.
And i also think we would only have 1 loss if we were using the Robinsons in the fourth quarter of these last two games.
So i don't blame it on conditioning these kids work out all year long in the off season.
