What a terrible display of shooting. We are horrendous.
Kalscheur starts by virtue of his solid defense. Plus, Kalscheur fills out a solid lineup with McBrayer and Coffey. IW, in a perfect world, is always a 6th man.I think Kalscheur should head to the bench in favor of IW. Kalscheur's shooting has been as bad as anyone's the past 4-5 games (maybe worse) and IW provides opportunities for easy baskets that Kalscheur does not. He started hot, but he's a freshman and should be lower in the pecking order IMO.
As for the other woeful outside shooters? I have no idea... but its about to get ugly.

Completely agree. Unfortunately, Washington didn’t even play much today and seemed to maybe be back in the doghouse again. I don’t get it.

I went to the game and I got the feeling that Washington did not trust anyone to make a basket. It's hard for Washington when he is on the floor with Hurt and StullBecause he went back to dribbling around and look for shots again instead of playmaking. It's not that he was bad, he wasn't, but Pitino knows that he needs the 10 assist Washington to win a lot of Big Ten games, so he is messing with his playing time.
I would sure like to see Michael Hurt occasionally look to shoot the ball. He often gets the ball in transition and it doesn't even look like he considers taking the ball to the basket or taking a jumper. No reason he can't contribute 6-8 pig off the bench.
There was one time when IW threw a low pass to Oturo that Oturo couldn't catch. It looked like Washington was upset, but hopefully it was with himself. The pass was virtually uncatchable.I went to the game and I got the feeling that Washington did not trust anyone to make a basket. It's hard for Washington when he is on the floor with Hurt and Stull

Washington assisted perhaps his first and 1. Apparently the gig is Washington needs to learn to pass to people who don't score.I would sure like to see Michael Hurt occasionally look to shoot the ball.

On that specific assist anyone could have made the pass. What IW gets credit for is for drawing defenders to himself so that Hurt could make the back cut.Of course on this board, the guy who last week had the second highest single-game assist total in school history, three shy of the record held by Ariel McDonald, isnt going to get credit for setting up someone who usually fails to score. Hilarious!
If IW never drove or took a shot, he wouldn't be drawing defenders.On that specific assist anyone could have made the pass. What IW gets credit for is for drawing defenders to himself so that Hurt could make the back cut.
If IW can learn to wait for those cuts, he will be helpful.
Pitino has often said that Hurt is the best person on the team to make cuts. On that play he showed it.
