Believe it or not, the best thing to happen to this team will be this loss. Less of a target, more playing uphill. I'm not trying to sugar coat it. I think they'd start playing better if they weren't waiting to fall off that tight rope theyve been walking.

(P.S. this season has been like 5 years long with a twilight zone feel to it)

This also could finally be the release of finally losing games that we played to lose. Could be a rough next 2 weeks since we’ve figured out to square the outcome with the performance.
 
What happened? Stuck at work and baffled at the score board… why is every game a struggle now? Does anyone know?

I, for one, wish coaches start looking at lineup changes. It’s simply not working for many games now.

Not shocked. We've been waiting for this to happen for the entirety of the conference season and now it has.

We're really not very good.

But worse, we're not very good by design. Our best rotations are rotations that we avoid because we feel some kind of obligation to certain players.

Anyway, that's the one seed done.

That lineup to start the second half did pretty well. Not sure why we changed it 4 minutes in.

March 8, 2014.
Louisville 81 UConn 48.
Lost the last regular season game.

March 15, 2014
Louisville 71 UConn 61.
Lost the AAC tournament game.

April 7,2014
UConn 60 Kentucky 54
National Champions

Trying to provide some perspective here because I remember reading these same kind of quotes after the losses in 2014.

I always have to preface this with saying I love AK but Hurley uses him as a crutch and the fawning over him by coach and the media has never come close to what he actually is as a player. He's talked about like he's Bill Walton when in reality he was the 6th and 5th best player on the championship teams and he's the 4th best player on this team.

I don't want to hear he's playing on a bad leg excuse, if he's hurt and can't contribute then don't play him. AK has been ghosting and taking halves off for many of our games as a 4 year + player/leader.

I knew 2014 and this is no 2014 team.

AK is injured? When did that happen?

The Silas-Solo-Braylon-AK-TR starting lineup.

It's too duplicative and you end up with three guys waiting around for Silas to get them the ball for a three. And when you have a very high volume shooter like Solo who really does not add much if he's not scoring, the lineup does not work that well.

I've wanted them to break that lineup up with Reed or Stewart. You add a bigger body on defense and for rebounding and he's not going to sit and wait on his shot. E.g. We looked our best in the second half when we started with Reed in for Solo. Once Solo came back, he immediately front rimmed a long three and the Creighton run began.

You mean Ross right, instead of Reed?

The Nova game this weekend just got a whooooole lot bigger for Nova… May see b2b losses. Philly will be rocking…

I wouldn’t wanna be at practice tomorrow.

The BYers wishing for a faster pace got their wish.

How did that work out for you?

We didn't play with a faster pace. Only Creighton did and with our pathtic offense we still tried to slow down the game when we should of been running. It wasn't like Creighton had better Athletes than us.

I think you meant Ross not Reed. Understandably brain fatigue from watching that mess. I thought we were done talking about Stewart starting for Ball? What the heck, why not start both Stew and Ross. Neither Solo or Karaban showed up tonight.

This board was telling me a few weeks ago AK playing 35+ minutes was a necessity lol
