Mental Toughness

[SoonerfanTU]

Hollis Price as a freshman makes two big, late in the game FT's at Mizzou if I remember correctly.

TMG as a freshman misses two big, late in the game FT's at home, against OSU.

<sigh>

TMG is no Hollis and that isn't a knock on TMG.

Nobody is a Hollis.

you know what ... they missed ft's and such but I saw some moxy tonight. we can build on this.

But the team showed a lot of heart and toughness in the overtime, especially WW. Nice win, great defensive effort, hopefully it will get us going.

Yeah they played tough as a team. Something we haven't really seen in a while.

Best defensive effort of the year. We hustled. Unfortunately it didn't carry over to offense.

They fought hard - always nice to win Bedlam - NICE win!

In case you caught the OT, TMG made the big 3 that gave us the lead for good. I'd say he redeemed himself.

This game was painful to watch at times, but we got the BIG W! Great effort from the crimson & cream!

I think this helps the teams mental thoughness all around. This team fought hard all game. That's something we really haven't seen all year.

That's not how that works.

I'm not trying to pile on or anything, just pointing out the difference. People wonder why our frosh/sophs are struggling, and I think mental toughness, or a lack thereof, is one of the factors. What I posted was just kind of an example of that. I'm sure TMG will hit big FT's probably at some point this year. And I'm sure Hollis missed some big FT's at some point. That was just the first thing I thought of when TMG missed them both.
