So have the Spartans hit the not always proverbial wall?
Yes.
The roster contains a majority of newcomers and freshman who aren't used to the length of nor experienced in the effort required to fulfill a college season of hoops and right now there isn't a lot of zip being displayed. The absorption rate of hoops knowledge and speed of learning through experience varies among players and it's looking like the majority of the Spartans are on overload at the moment.
That and their overall size, skill and athleticism levels need a mighty swing upward.
What worked to some degree for the players in non-conference play (although the level of competition was definitely lower) needs a countermove as defenses tighten up in order to keep opponents from their respective sweet spots. Home crowds also fire up come league action making matters inhospitable.
Let's see how the frustration is handled.
