I honestly think that it had more to do with the Baylor game last week. Since I was a student at McCallie, we've always come out flat following the Baylor game. So much energy is put into that game by everyone, players, coaches, fans, that it is hard to get up for the game that follows. I said it would happen earlier this week on a thread and it did. Luckily McCallie was able to get it together in the second half.
(That said, I'm sure the CBHS loss to Ryan didn't help McCallie's phyche either)
