There‘s been a fair amount of posts in this thread about how this loss was bad, but not “that bad.” That there were other losses in our past that were worst, I’ve read.

I’ve been responding that I don’t think this is the case.

Well, I just read an article how this is the worst loss of all time by a defending champion when you look at Seton Hall’s Ken Pom rating of 213.

So we can stop pretending that his was just a bump in the road, this was a historically poor performance - one that yes, hurts our brand.

It isn’t just that we lost but it’s the way we lost.

I don’t think I would let Mahaney see the ball again this season except for practice.
I would take Ball off the floor more - no more than 30 minutes. He’s a liability when he’s tired.
Bring in some bench players, and have players earn time on floor.

The old Jim Calhoun approach involved a quick hook for bonehead plays. Didn’t care whether your were a role player or a star.

After than 2nd messed up inbounds I would have loved to see him sub out all 5 on the floor for 5 players sitting on the bench - LOVED It.

Channel a little JC Hurley!  The last 2 teams did not need this approach.

This one does!
