FSN: It was a beautiful memory, and for one night it should be left as just that.

[BleedGopher]

Nice piece from FSN:

"We do need to play with a sense of urgency and play with a little edge," Tubby said. "I thought tonight, Trevor set that tone for us, and people picked up on it, other players picked up on it, and they played harder, played smarter.

"The emotional part of it, getting too high or too low?" he continued. "You get a false sense of accomplishment… You got practice tomorrow."

They do have practice tomorrow, and three more Big Ten games before the conference tournament begins. But sometimes we can forget: These are college students. These are the best moments of their lives. Yes, this is a big win, and it could catapult this team toward a March run, but more than that, this was one of the finest moments these young men will experience in their college careers. It was a beautiful memory, and for one night it should be left as just that.

Moral of the story? Never get too high with a win, nor too low with a loss. Life goes on:

The Bard was ahead of his time:

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

They are indeed just "kids," which is why they have adult coaches and trainers. The staff needs to get them to channel their confidence and enthusiasm and not get too relaxed or full of themselves.
