Could also just be Pitino having unwarranted faith in Kadary and/or wanting him to play through this spell to be better by the new year. He also never took Jenkins out of games, it reminds me of a similar dynamic.

Oh, I agree that he wants this team to revolve around Richmond. I just happen to think pressure to justify his NIL is playing into that.

Since you will live if I tell you, I will. I don’t know you but don’t want you to die.
Seen at every level of sports, people don’t want to piss off $ people. And it’s not like Richmond is Joe Schmo, so Rick treating him with kid gloves as opposed to whatever message he is sending Smith.
I don't think its the same as pro sports though. It's not like it's a long-term deal and he may be on the trading block, or we're stuck with him for a few years. Its all a very short-term equation. I really don't think NIL has much to do with it. Especially since Kadary was highly touted and very well known by everyone.
I do think another reason for the different treatment is that people need different tactics to be (or stay) motivated. Maybe Kadary is the type of guy that needs positive encouragement to get going, while someone like Smith needs more criticism. It's hard to tell from here.
What did cross my mind was Repole having a front row seat to Omier basically shift the game towards Baylor's favor. Does that motivate him to not miss out next time?

Yes and we played UConn close all 3 games last, but guess what? We lost all 3 also.
Time to stop with the well at least we played them close.
We gotta start winning these games.
Just back from an amazing trip to Baha Mar. I feel like we're kinda past the point where I can add anything with a wrapup of the last few days, so let me just say this: this thread is insane! I mean, I've been here a while and I know how game threads can get a little crazy during the game but holy hell some of you need to be medicated. Never seen this much of an overreaction to one loss, especially in a game that never should have been played in the first place.
Yes, they sucked on Sunday. No sugarcoating it, the effort was terrible. But they were playing their 3rd game in 4 days at 11 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING. Just colossal stupidity scheduling this game, completely unnecessary. But they played well/great in 3 of the 4 games they played last week (including NM). They showed that at their best they can play with anyone in the country. Yes there are flaws and yes, the shooting will come and go, but when they are not playing their third game in four days AT 11 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING, the defense is absolutely stifling. To see all these posters on the verge of hari kiri because of one bad loss- and I'm talking about the one who know better, not the ones who pleasure themselves when we lose- is really disappointing.
This team is really good. They have some issues to work out (Kadary Richmond, please call your office). But this last week, warts and all, showed how good they can be. Cheer up you miserable motherf***ers!

It's more than just 1 loss, it's also the Alabama game where we blew an 18pnt lead. It's how we lost in double OT when we lost on a last second 3 when the sob's didn't start the clock on time.Just back from an amazing trip to Baha Mar.

It's 25 yrs worst of nothing so when we lose we get negative real fast (atleast some), and say here we go again.
It's not just the Georgia game, it's everything that builds up to people being negative.
If this team is really good then it's time to show it.
Put up or shut up as the saying goes.

A bit harsh don't you think. I guess you have forgotten that three teams from the Big East made the tourney last year and the Johnnies were not one of them. If you look at things realistically, how many more quality wins may we come by in the OOC schedule that will boost our resume? And lets not forget, it was not our conference schedule, the 7 straight wins at seasons end, beating Creighton or getting to the semis that kept us out of the Dance, it was our OOC showing that did.Just back from an amazing trip to Baha Mar.

So everyone here has every right to be disappointed and concerned as no one wants a repeat of last season. In terms of Baylor, how many top 20 teams own two blowouts to date? I don't believe they are as good as advertised at all. Virginia looks weak and Georgia is a middle SEC team at best, so what did we gain from this trip? Its nice to be positive and Im sure we all wish and hope the team rebounds and comes along but a stinker is a stinker and this past weekend was a big one.

It was definitely unfair of them to make ST John’s play at 11 but not Georgia. The hour difference def helped Georgia.Just back from an amazing trip to Baha Mar.

Georgia practiced 4 days in a row at 11 ! I think this was a bad schedule rather than a true look at our team. Lets go Redmen!!
Is Georgia a better team????
Another logical disconnect. You're saying that to be competitive the Coach is deciding to play players that make them less competitive because they cost more money. Using that false presumption begs a question, does Repole want to win or does he just want to see his shiny toy on TV?
At the end of the day KR is one of the top players on the team who is underperforming to this point. CRP knows he is one of the top players on the team. That's why he's giving him time to work out any issues he's having now before conference play. Players with far lower upsides would not have such a long leash.
FWIW I have confidence that KR will continue to improve and I also feel a lot of folks don't understand his game. The main thing that is puzzling me with his game is his FT shooting. The rest is just working into a new system.
Also FWIW through 7 games last year KR was averaging more TOs and less Assists than he is this year. He was scoring a lot more points but on that team he had to since they had zero other options. In theory he doesn't need to score as much this year with the much improved weapons around him.
The Smith issue was not related to Kadary's minutes and that one I find very discomforting but can only hope it gets worked out.

Ok. But would it be a massive underachievement given our history this millennium and the fact that we're the worst Big East franchise not named Depaul? Me thinks not.
Exactly.
