Does he deserve preferential treatment by the refs, yes or no?

I don't think he gets it. I think refs respond to coaches far more than players. Matta, Ryan, Izzo & Crean seem to work refs and get their attention like no one else in the conference.

Say all you want about star treatment, but Russel is the real deal.

He is, but I wonder how good he will be at the next level. Another guard with more size and strength could give him problems.
 






Mo will always be employable as a brick layer
 

Ball through Mo's hands is a fitting end to his Gopher career. I don't know if he has small hand or what but I don't recall a big man losing a ball right in his mitts more than him.

Well we're on the bubble. Unfortunately it is the wrong bubble.
 



That last little flurry summed up our season. Mo almost dropped a rebound out of bounds on the defensive end and then had a pass go right through his hands on the offensive end. Just doesn't have strong hands for a big man.
 

Mo can always be counted on to curl up into a ball during big games. Not surprised in the least bit. Anyways, really proud of how Deandre closed out his B1G career. Front part of the season didn't go his way, but he really closed out nicely.
 


NIT bubble. You can cut the tension with a knife...
 



I don't get wanting to be passed over, except in extreme cases (2011). No one will force you to watch...
 


For some reason, I'm convinced we'll get in the NIT

Anyone actually think Hollins was going to make that?

Amazing how few times such a good shooter has been able to hit shots when we really needed them this year. No knock on him, it was just a tough year. Not a great way to go out for Andre, I felt bad for him.

Really all started with that bitch Gasser and the undercut. Dre never returned on a consistent basis thereafter.

I do really want to see this team play NIT ball. They need it.

I agree 100%. What a great chance to play a few extra games for the young guys.

I really wish we had an extra year of Deandre. He just finds ways to finish around the rim!
 

I really think Andre Hollins is a class guy and a great rep for the U. However, he was completely disinterested in this game. His body language and posture were terrible and his defensive intensity was an embarrassment. Not sure why Coach Pitino felt obliged to play him; his mediocre offense did not offset is awful defense. Looking forward to new blood. Any blood.

Now I hope that we get into the NIT just so that Gas and Bakary can get more playing time now that it doesn't really count anymore.

Maybe they could have still gotten playing time in the NIT, but coach could have tried to actually win this game by playing the energetic Eliason.

Me too. Everyone loves to hate on him but he was definitely one of our better players the 2 years he was here
