The team needs to smell blood and curb stomp the opponent.it happened in Gtown they’re just not as talented as Providence.
We finally have a coach that won’t let bad basketball slide. No matter the result.Pitino has a lot of coaching tape to use from today's game.
I agree. I would much prefer seeing Prey than Vince. Except for Vince's move and layup at the end of the game, he reacts too slowly in the lane to bring anything positive to the table.Prey has been coming along nicely. Why he didn’t see much time today doesn’t make any sense.
A win is a win but plenty to learn from the game tape.
Scott immediately came in and took a terrible shotThat was also the correct move that got affected by weirdness. Rick took him out at 4:10 thinking to put him back at first stoppage under 4. But that didn't come until 2 minutes and change left. Which worked out fine, Kadary was fresh enough to go win the game for us
was impressed that he didn't let it affect him, as he hit 2 key jumpers soon after.And much more under control. Excellent game by him except for the critical missed FTs
Please never lump Prey in with Vince.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.
Nothing affects RJ's willingness to shoot. Nothing. Earthquake, meteor, locusts, return of the dinosaurs, alien invasion - RJ is still cool with putting it up.was impressed that he didn't let it affect him, as he hit 2 key jumpers soon after.
Well Mississippi will drop so net no change even if that happenedHopefully most voters only look at the final score, otherwise they may drop us a spot or two and have Missouri shooting ahead of us.
I am neither as high on Prey nor as down on Vince as most. I think they are both potential contributors but both have more work to do on adjusting to the speed of the game and their respective vulnerabilities.Please never lump Prey in with Vince.
Vince is completely lost at all times and has no ability to control his limbs. Prey is always in control.
They had their usual contingent of alums who are from downstate. I don't know how many. Like last year, they were a morgue for most of the game until Rahim went nuts and then they got loud at times.Did Providence bring many fans? I’m kind of blown away by this. I’ve been skeptical that there was a “hidden” fanbase waiting for a decent product to show up. Very happy to have been wrong.
Wilcher had a ton of good looks. He just missedTo me the story today was, you can be a good team with stars like Richmond, Zuby and RJ. But to be great you need your other key rotation guys to contribute as well
we were all happy to see smith back, but IMO he really really hurt us today. Him and Wilcher combine for 3-20 on the day. Scott had his worst day probably all year too.
What’s huge for us going forward is figuring how to get Wilcher and smith looks that are good looks for them. Smith should improve as he gets more comfortable being back out there. Wilcher we need to see if we can get him curling off some screens, preferably around the elbow. These threes are front rimming.
Happy with the win. Kadary is the man
Referee and clock error. We caught a break.Why did Providence only get a 20 second shot clock on the first possession?!
