You could just see the confidence leak out after Harvard got the lead among a flurry of TOs in the first half. Things that puzzle me:

Why not spread the floor more against Harvard's aggressive defense, feed the high post, reverse the ball, etc.? Very often the Tigers looked like they were playing offense in a phone booth (wow, dated metaphor there).

Why almost no ball pressure on D against a Harvard team that has no actual point guard and a bunch of TO-prone players? The one appearance of the 1-3-1 discombobulated Harvard, then it disappeared never to be seen again. And I get not wanting to come out too far in the man defense past the arc to avoid giving up drives, but inducing drives into a collapsing defense from those players wouldn't be all bad.

Much has regressed offensively. I liked Gladson and Aririguzoh in the post tonight, but not enough finishes or hit FTs.
