The bye weeks sure drag on. Not a fan of the downtime, but hopefully the boys are fresh today. We gotta crash the boards, but no reason we shouldn't win today. GET 'ER DONE PITINO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 


Can't let Stephens or another 3 point specialist turn the game like 1st encounter. Calling Dre 1 and Dre 2, control the game, roger?
 

It's been a long week off. Hopefully we can get back on track today.
 




Another indication of B1G parity; IL beats MSU @ MSU. Climbing back into the logjam is there if Gophers "are worthy" as someone once said.
 





Otto is the happiest pilot in the history of aviation.
 


Saw during the pregame that we have outscored our opponents in the Big Ten this year. Crazy considering we are 3-7.

That is surprising. However.....it's probably worth noting that many of our losses were by the slimmest of margins.
 



Morris, WTF was that? -4 point sequence. More Buggs, less Morris please.
 

Mr. Morris to the bench...wtf was that crazy shot? Seriously bad.
 

Does Morris have dirt on Pitino? Why the hell does Pitino leave him in there when he makes mistake after mistake, bad shot after bad shot. That 8-0 run by Purdon't was on Morris.
 

Once again, sitting a key player (Dre) with 2 fouls in the 1st half totally bites us. Come on Richard...
 

I can see GH exploding already.

Settle down, it's a long game.

We're 3-7 and losing at home to a mediocre team. It's OK not to think everything is fine.
 


I am beginning to think pitino does not know sh*t about basketball. I mean I understand how sometimes you let players play through mistakes, but this is ridiculous how he let's players like morris play and not sit him with these horrible basketball plays..
U have to bench these players when they make these horrendous and selfish plays its common basketball knowledge when a player does these kind of things he will be sitting on the bench.

Pitino is a great recruiter though.
 

Seemed like we had 'em when we were up 21-13. One more little run would've put our foot on their throat. Instead we missed a bunch of open shots and FTs and now we're behind. Hard to believe we're going to be down at the half.

Mediocre team? Purdue just beat a good Ohio State team. Tell me they are medicore. Man, who is your expert analyst?
 

Has there ever been a college player get away with more than Hammons? Man I can't wait until he is gone. That was goaltending on De'Andre's shot. Could easily see it in real time. The guy gets away with pushing and shoving all the time. Then EE barely taps him on a dunk and they call a defensive foul.

With that said, our offense is so inconsistent. So frustrating.

Because ever since McNeil left the team, Morris is the only SF on the roster. There's only so much he can do.

Now whether we should've signed another 6'5 - 6'7" guy before the season is another issue.

They will not make the NCAA tournament. That is mediocre.

Sounds like you are taking coaching tips from the last guy. Whose new team, btw, scored 38 points in a complete game today. But you probably have more knowledge than Pitino about coaching and how his players respond to certain coaching decisions.

Yeah that tap foul on Eliason was crap.

Our shooting sucks though. And one of our huge weaknesses that isn't necessarily obvious is that we almost never get a second shot. We have no offensive rebounding.

Definetly not goaltending, but agree with the other stuff.
