“We can’t live in the shoulda-coulda-woulda, if-then, all that,” Napier said. “I think ultimately, we’ve got an obligation to the players and our leadership at the university to do our best to play well this week. It’s all we can control. Anything else is a waste of time. Look, I think it’s that way regardless. Been doing this for a long time. The ability to hit the reset button, sometimes you’re trying to ignore the hype or the praise and sometimes, you fall flat on your face.

“So your approach with the players, the right mix of accountability and ownership, I think it’s critical that we don’t point fingers and that we accept some responsibility and point out where there needs to be accountability. I think that’s the key, especially with young people in the world that they live in currently.”
