Not good news. Pitino already figuring out less depth. Will be an issue.

Let’s calm down on Ross in this game I think he crapped his pants and had a huge turnover against the Johnnies last game late. My God you people are amazing. He’s a bench guy, he played good D last game and is an improvement on that end and that end alone. Let’s see more before we take a bench...

We may know more after tomorrow night that’s for sure. Until then I will hold off on my opinion on a “good loss”. Nova isn’t the Johnnies and this matchup provides answers for the next few weeks for me.

Steven A interviewed him on Mad Dog last week and wow, I was impressed. What a great kid, intelligent and a really good interview. He’s a team kid, knows what he needs to do in order to win and will do anything to make that happen. Defense and rebounding are things he knows he has to improve...

Solid win at their place. Everyone was good although Silas had a rough 1st half, not all on him. Bench was really good nice to have them show up. BE refereeing is dreadful, Nova was allowed to assault Silas, hand checking is not allowed anymore right? lol Solo had a rough start as Perkins...

You mean the way they are playing man D not zone right? They play zone basically never, although not a bad idea with their overall foot speed. Back to Ball and what I think you mean, opposite ball side he does get lost and when they third to his guy he is running out to guard him, out of...

The hedge is one thing for Tarris that hurts our D overall. The other is his help defense as he defends on the low block. He doesn’t leave on time to help impact a driver who beat his defender. He needs to leave his guy earlier because Villanova will also be trying to beat their guys off the...

In that case we’re doomed. We don’t get calls at home never mind away.

He’s good on his man, physical and usually solid. His help defense is ill timed and not very good. These stats mean nothing, Silas is our best defender and as for Duke, Brown is theirs and he’s not even there.

I like the kid, happy he’s coming off our bench. But it ends there. He and Stew are inconsistent but so is Solo. But the only real chance of us being really good is to still see last years version of Ball, it gives us our best chance.

Of course you do, we know that by now. He’s a nice bench guy, hustle guy, solid defender but if he’s starting in your top 5/10 team you’re not that team any more.

Well I don’t think it’s his ceiling basically because he was better last year, at least shooting the ball and by a lot. If you mean his overall game then I do see where you are going.

Mullins is a good defender, he’s actually Ricky Moore compared to Solo so this is way off I think!😳

Makes sense, I’m done!🤣

Fair point because while Ross scares me on every dribble, it’s not a lot better with Solo o mean he had zero assists last night. Solos inability to get better from last year is maybe the biggest issue we have.
