I was the R and working with two people I was somewhat familiar with. I thought our pre-game was pretty good but we made the mistake of assuming that it was going to be a poorly played game based on what one of my partners said about having seen one of the teams previously and both teams recent history of not being very good.
It was also the first girls game I had done since maybe the first week of the season, not that it should matter. Both teams played better than we anticipated and the 1st quarter score was 17-16. I commented at halftime that we should not have made the assumption and that I didnt feel like I came out "ready from the tip."
What was disturbing to me was that even after recognizing this, I never got it going mentally. But you're right. I think it started with improper focus in the pre-game.
