Harvard, Sat., Nov. 30, 5p, Peacock

The rules change so much that I'm not sure what the latest is. If someone were looking to transfer, could they leave at end of one school's fall semester and appear in uniform at another school once their spring semester starts?

I believe we'll drop as team's behind us have better wins than us. Let me locate the formula. I do however see your point regarding Maryland Eastern Shore.

No that's not how it works. If we outperform the pregame expectations then we'll move up, if we don't we'll move down. Today, we were projected to win by 25 but ended up winning by 13, so we moved down. Had we won by 40 we would have moved up.

Well the LMF report is that Pitino isn't happy with the players and they aren't happy with him. It is entirely possible that the old school approach to coaching is not the route to success in this era.

That unhappiness is also translating to the lack of connection between the players on the floor, and unlike last year the leadership characteristics of this squad are much different.

In my opinion the best offensive option for this team is to give Richmond the ball at the top of the key. He will either make a mid range shot, get to the rim, or find the open man off some action. Having him in the corner for stretches is just bizarre to me.

It's wonderful that Glover hit some shots but people who think he's ready to be an actual player against legit competition need to remember that there's more to the game than shooting. He should progress but his defense and court awareness need a LOT of work.

Team continues to seem structurally unsound to me and today Pitino was obviously casting about for fixes to things he should have considered when recruiting.

I think in the end it will get figured out and we will be OK but I don't have a high degree of confidence. The degree of unhappiness and friction (and my vantage point is not far from the bench and the huddle) was fairly alarming.

Your last point is what scared me the most coming into this season. When you have to put together a team basically through free agency, and now are paying kids big money, you never know how it will mesh. Clearly some issues, but that's Pitino's job to figure out. As you pointed out, it's possible he won't.

Well done, thanks for that. Don't suppose you could guestimate this out for the entire season to see where we might end up. Best Guess of course.

I get Brady is playing hard and getting rebounds but he is so one dimensional on offense that if he can't make shots it diminishes he hustle elsewhere.

Logen noted him moving without ball which I see at times, but more than not he's camped out in the corner and players are not going to look to him. I saw RJ not even give him a look when he was all by himself. RJ took it in..but that's just as much on RJ but I do think there is some of questioning his shot making

If players don’t look to him when he is open, and I am far from conceding that, it is a BIG IF, that is just another indictment on the job Pitino is doing because players don’t get to decide who they pass the ball to. Dunlap is a solid winning player in my book and from where I sit the Johnnies could use more of them. I have stated many times I judge players and teams by the eye test not stats, others may differ of course.
