MBB Fuse Box Key Words
About a week ago, there was some chatter on the board about the key words associated with each player in the locker room fuse box. These symbolize an idea that each individual player concentrates on throughout the season. Before every practice and game, each player switches their switch to "on". Earlier, we just knew Mitch McGary's was "Enthusiasm". ESPN granted us a view of a few others:
Eso Akunne - Sacrifice
Blake McLimans - Focus
Matt Vogrich - Unity
Tim Hardaway Jr. - Preparation
Trey Burke - Poise (revealed in Indiana pregame)
Spike Albrecht - Smart
Mitch McGary - Enthusiasm
Josh Bartelstein - Perspective
Corey Person - Communication
Jordan Morgan - Toughness
Jon Horford - Belief
Max Beifeldt - Physical
Caris LeVert - Determination
GRIII - Dependable
Nik Stauskas is notably absent from the photo, so his remains a mystery.

Nik Stauskas' word is Canadian.

Hillarious, mostly b/c I imagine a very normal hotdog/applie pie eating character, but damn, when that boy becomes Canadian, he sure can play basketball.

Those are all great words for them to focus on..I feel they really gave each specific word to the right person. Easy to see how Burke is poised, spike is smart, and Eso with the sacrifice..etc.
Man I LOVE this team!!

Stauskas' = ALL THE WORDS
He probably turns on the main power supply to the WE ON fuse box hahahaha

*Beilein hands Stauskas a slip of paper*
Voiceover announcer: "The password is...."
*"CONFIDENCE" appears at the bottom of the screen*

Bacari: "Josh, great practice"
Bartelstein: "Thanks, coach"
Bacari: "You pumped for OSU tonight?"
Bartelstein: "Yes coach"
Bacari: "You remember your fuse word, right?"
Bartelstein: "Yes coach - PERSPECTIVE"
Bacari: "Excellent, young man. Now go enjoy the game from the perspective of the bench. A lot of kids would kill for the seat you got!"

Akunne: "Thanks, coach"
Bacari: "You pumped for OSU tonight?"
Akunne: "Yes coach"
Bacari: "You remember your fuse word, right?"
Akunne: "Yes coach - SACRIFICE"
Bacari: "Excellent, young man. Now go enjoy the game by sacrificing your time so others can play and you sit on the bench. A lot of kids would kill for the seat you got!"

Stauskas = his name is not present on the fuse box b/c his theme is "lights out"?
Yup, see what I did there?
February 5th, 2013 at 7:32 PM ^
If I were Vogrich I'd just walk around screaming my key word Chapelle Show style.

The pic of the fuse box all lite up is really quite awesome. Great concept and the "WE ON" makes a lot more sense as well, how when each of the players can individually acheive their goal/focus, the team plays in sync.

Maybe the guy who put Max "Biefeldt" in the box should make his word "Spelling."
