"With 21 turnovers, you are not going to win many games," IU Southeast head coach Wiley Brown said. "I sent this [Rick Pitino video about defense] to them a couple days before this game. It worked for 10 minutes, and our defense went to hell. They can't fight through fatigue. They become mentally unstable. It's hard to watch because they are talented enough to win games. Back to the lab."
