A lot of good responses in this thread..


and I think yours sums up the challenge which we probably all are focused on, that being postseason. Focus should ramp up coming post season because any loss, even one in a double elimination format, reduces your margin of error to zero. Not really the same in regular season. Moreover, as you say, they have shown good resilience and focus getting dialed in to challenging situations which bodes well for tourney play, IMO. As @VTsportscaster said below this team has proven to be tough to beat twice by the same team, another positive for double elimination tourney play. FInally, as RJHokie alluded to getting healthy creates a variety of options to overcome struggles, it also is additional added motivation to maintain a high level of play because you can be moved out of your spot if not performing. All these scenarios have the downside that pressing can yield negative results but, alternatives allow the coach to shake things up should that be the case. I think he has proven, so far, to be adept at pressing the right buttons in responding to challenges.
