Play Wally dammit. Who is McNeil and why does he see any minutes??? Pitino is starting to lose me.

McNeil is playing better today than Wally ever has. He's playing well on defense, moving the ball, and going to the basket when it's there. If Wally played defense or moved the ball he would probably play.
 




we should put these refs on an island and nuke them
 

Pretty good first half without lil Dre on the floor. Refs are completely controlling any tempo, so the players have to adjust for that.

We gotta continue to be aggressive on O by driving to the hoop. They are in worse foul trouble than us.

you have lost your mind or are watching something else. We'd be up 13 if he was on the bench.

Even if your assessment of the relative abilities of these two players was correct (it's not), that doesn't change the fact that 1) Mathieu was in foul trouble and 2) Wally doesn't play point guard. So if any of the two gets more minutes in this situation, it's going to be McNeil.

Dre needs to make his freethrows. He's been off lately.

Maxed out his freshman year. ~80% is still very good, but I fondly remember the days where he swished all of his FTs.
