Couple notes:
Have to give Glover a couple shots to see if he can knock down some threes. Or give Lefty some run.
With all Wilcher struggles, he does play D.
Kadary played pretty good

So interesting to hear all the different takes.
One side says if we play like this against so and so we lose this game. Which honestly who the heck knows if that’s true or not.
Other side says how awesome a learning experience to blow a big lead Miss 3 potential free throws which would have pushed lead higher but doesn’t only for the team to hit 2 big shots down the stretch and come out with a win.
I take the second approach. What a great learning experience. To not lose full composure and be able to regroup at the end is huge for confidence. Against any team. This would have a been a brutal loss. BUT IT WASNT.
To me it’s a great invaluable win.

Missed free throws down the stretch almost bit us
It was halfway thru the second half, up 19, and I said well, we should put in Vince, Prey and Glover here.
Rick did just that (minus Prey) and that unit promptly gave back 10 points.
So he put the starters back in and I figured that would stop the bleeding but instead Providence just kept hitting shots.
All the moves were the right ones, it just blew up on us. As you say, weird. A "stuff happens" situation. Everything was according to plan until then.

Drawing over nineteen thousand on a Sat afternoon twelve o’clock starting time vs a mediocre opponent is sensational.
And much more under control. Excellent game by him except for the critical missed FTs

Bad turnover too
Finally let the game come to him and not forcing.

Hey Beast, just because Kadary looks like the Kadary from last year now, it doesn't take away the fact that he stunk in December.
I'm just glad that he's in shape now, and we now have the Kadary from SHU here with us.

How one play can change a game/narrative. We still collapsed down the stretch but we ultimately don’t really sweat this one out if not for that RJ giveaway off the steal that would been a 3 on 1 for us but instead ended up as a 3 for Providence to cut the lead to 1
Guys are going to miss shots. It was our defense in the second half that almost bit us. We stopped playing defense. Listen to Coach Pitino’s press conference. He said, they played losing defense in the second half and he said that guys just simply were not doing their jobs defensively.
We’ve taken 14 of 15. We are doing something right.
I think we all agree Gene
I think RJ after the steal threw the ball ahead because he mistakenly thought defender was going to be right up on him when he turned up court. It turned out he had room just to continue his dribble.

Did they ask Rick about the bizarre Scott for Kadary sub with 2:40 to go?
Ssshhh. I just finished saying something nice about RJ. Don't ruin the moment.... Eh, too late
