Here's my take on Shiraitodai (and I'm not just being tongue-in-cheek here):
I think that Teru's domination has made the rest of the team rusty. In other words, Teru either wipes out the competition before the rest of Shiraitodai can even play, or Teru gives them such a monumental lead that it's only natural for the rest of the team to play with ease and overconfidence the rest of the way.
Shiraitodai probably hasn't had to put much actual strategy or thought into their matches for quite some time. They've just been obliterating the competition with a mixture of pure offense and hax powers. They've been successful at that for so long that they've probably forgot the meaning of the words "defensive mahjong".
