Players With Heart and Guts

As I'm watching 2 # 15's advance and see the tenacity and the effort that they played with I think that they probably don't have a top 100 player on their rosters. Mizzou is one thing but Duke is a basketball corporation with every advantage possible up and down the line. They pick and choose which all americans get the privilege of playing there. I'm shocked and impressed.

Amazing. When people get shellacked for saying we lack effort then you get to see what real effort is.

Trade AO for Knutsen on Lehigh.

How about LIU Brooklyn hanging tough with Michigan State?

Well we didn't have a leave it all on the floor mentality this year. How many times did our own players and coaches say "we didn't pay for 40 minutes" this year? I didn't say we have no heart, but I sure enjoyed seeing Duke (people who say Duke was no good forgot who they beat this year) get taken down by an incredible effort from kids
who nobody knows. A combined effort from players maybe not with Kembas skill but certainly his tenacity.

If McCollum shoots 6-22 and Lehigh loses by 20, but plays just as hard, would everyone be applauding their effort?

This is exactly the problem with that line of thinking. It is susceptible to all levels of biases and unrealities.

Someone in another thread said "Lamb was a disappointment and didn't try, and don't give me any useless stats to prove otherwise." Translation: I want to assert an opinion as a fact and don't want it challenged. It makes it awfully easy to criticize a team's play without having to say anything useful or all that perceptive.

What a bunch of crap.

If you win, you tried hard. If you lose, you're lazy.

Will this lunacy never end?
