According to Texas State men's basketball head coach Doug Davalos, his team's recent struggles are much akin to that of Bobcat quarterback Bradley George in the fall.
In case anyone forgets George's saga, it was an interesting case. George entered the season as the No. 1 quarterback and distanced himself from fellow QB Clint Toon during the spring and fall. Once the season began, George struggled.
He had a decent game against Angelo State before not playing well at Southern Methodist. George coughed up the ball on consecutive possessions and only threw two passes against the Mustangs. He was benched in favor of Clint Toon for several games, in order to recollect his thoughts.
"The thing is, that when Bradley George stepped back on the field, he was one of, if not the best quarterbacks in the league," Davalos said. "Coach Wright just needed to sit him down and have him find himself. He was the same quarterback all along, but he just needed to remember that.
"That's what our guys need to do right now. They need to find themselves as offensive players again. The thing isn't that we're not getting open looks, because then I need to go back to the drawing board. They're getting open looks, but they're just not falling. I'm not going to shake up the lineups too much, because I've already probably used the most lineups in the nation up to this point. Our guys know what they need to do and once they all get it going again, it's going to be something to watch."
Oh, and case anyone forgot, George led the Bobcats to the NCAA playoffs for the first time since 2005.
