"We suck" is not a strategy

Honesty is great. Not getting dominated all the time is better. From David Hale's story about the Kentucky game:

“We just did not compete with the kind of toughness that’s required,” (Coach Dennis) Felton said. “We were very, very soft. It was a soft effort, and that’s the story line of this game.”

“It was definitely a lack of effort and just heart,” said senior Terrance Woodbury, who shot 4-of-14 from the field, scoring a team-high eight points. “From the tip, we didn’t come out with the energy we needed to come out with."

Good grief.
