Researchers found that students sending and receiving messages while studying scored lower test results and were less effective at tasks such as note taking.

Fine sentiments perhaps, but also a sign of overwrought emotions, of the pressure of playing without their superstar and the doubts that exposed. The constant hugging and team bonding smacked more of insecurity and posturing.
