We wouldn't be ranked (though won't be anymore) and this excited about the program right now without Pitino. But he cost us these two games. First with allowing Zuby to be anywhere near that inbound pass and second with keeping Smith on the bench for Sim this whole 2nd half.
Kadary is not playing anywhere near the level he needs to be.
Sim is playing with more confidence but is still not good enough to be anything more than a 10-12 minute guy against non cupcakes. Maybe less
