I'd buy that excuse if Oklahoma State didn't have a 17 point lead going into the fourth quarter.

As Shane Falco puts it... quicksand, my friend. Once one thing goes wrong, it starts to slip in to your mind. The more your struggle the more confusing it is and the deeper you sink. Muscle memory escapes you. A different part of your mind is responsible for doing even the most simple things. Close your eyes. Inhale. Exhale. Not too much, not to little. Breathe in and out as perfectly, routinely, and effortlessly as you did before you were thinking about it. You didn't have to think about breathing before. Why do you have to do it now? Was that breathe as long as is should have been? Was the exhale too long or too short? What about the inhale? You're unsure of it, but your breathe just caught up to you like you did something wrong.
