These types of games are going to happen with a young team. A back to back affair that virtually never happens at the high school level, combined with a 3000 mile road trip, playing a team essentially in its backyard that is a favorite to win its conference and coming off the season's first loss, albeit against a team that may wind up in Houston at the Final Four in April.
