My observations were not that they were flat.

On the contrary I thought they looked "over hyped" for the game. The first quarter or so they looked winded and "out of gas" from the adrenellin rush.

Settled down and were laser focused the entire 2nd half.

Sometimes seniors can get just as antsy as newbies because they know this is it. They seemed to refocus and concentrated more on the fundamentals of the game plan and excuction and let the other get out of their mind.

Well worth the trip IMO. :Cheerlead

I agree. During warm ups they were jumping around, slapping each other on the back, grinning and joking. During the pre game introductions they were hamming it up and posturing for the crowd. Not all of them but many of them. Once they settled down they controlled the game.
