There’s no rationalizing this loss.
There are players still on this roster from 68 points by UNC.
There are players still on this roster from FIU, LaTech and Duke.
Why is it not hard to rationalize this loss? This same group of players have a handful of these under their belt. The same program.
Players still on this roster from 2019 that play quite a bit...Will Mallory, Al Blades, DJ Ivey, Gil Frierson, Jordan Miller, TeCorey Couch, Keontra Smith, Jakai Clark, Zion Nelson, John Campbell, DJ Scaife, Harrison-Hunte, Steed, Hedley, Jahfari Harvey...these guys have seen a lot of bad Ls and that is your elderstatesmen in the program. They've also experienced a lot of bad coaching.
Its pretty conceivable that this group could also lose to Middle Tennessee State. Pretty easy to rationalize.
