It is the first time that it really looked to me as though they were intimidated down the stretch. I don’t know what the stats say but it looked to me as though the 50/50 balls went to the Johnie’s by a long shot. People can criticize Pitino all they want to, but the reality is that not only is he one of the best to ever coach the game, he still gets it. I like Hurley a great deal, but constantly hearing that he is the best coach in the country is tiring to me. Sounds good I guess, but I’ll always believe that the mark of a great coach is based on whether and how much your players improve during the season. I don’t know who on this roster will be here next year but as it has been said more than once here, 21,22,23 year old men with ability tend to be better than boys who have just graduated from high school.
