@West Virginia, Fri., Dec. 1, 7p, ESPN-2

[Delaware]

I figured that as soon as I saw that they were going to re-evaluate him in 2 weeks.

 

[hersheypa]

I agree. I don’t even like writing accusatory stuff like that, but I’m almost 47…been watching since I was 8. Played at a relatively high level for 4 years (many of you know I played with Alleyne’s dad, played against Zendon). Your eyes don’t lie and, man, these betting sites are such a presence now, it’s tough not to think someone is pulling some strings when you see the way the game ended. If WVU hit another free throw, they would have covered.

Are you

A win id a win. I’m happy. It’s a good thing I’m so deep in Maryland farm country they couldn’t even get the game on tv.

id is.

 

[Redenbacher]

Ok, taped this game and with 4 mins left, they cut it off for the UConn Kansas game! WTF ESPN? Anyway, great to get the W but ticked to not see the end!

 

[Eric]

Another concern….. if you take away Allyne, the rest of our bench….. Davis, Dunlap, Wilcher, Traore and Ejifore. Scored a total of 2 points. I think Pitinos assertion of depth was greatly exaggerated.

For this game yes.

 

[Boo Harvey]

If Aleyne does not get prime minutes even w Luis back something is wrong. So far SJ not smart playing group & Aleyne very smart not to mention a sweet stroke

Why he doesn’t play more is beyond me

 

[MJDinkins]

Taylor is a team player, man. Always looking to do the little things and get others involved.

I immediately took a liking to Taylor in our first game versus Stony Brook.

 

[Notanalum]

Good to get some long looks at a zone defense. Need an aggressive Dingle if we wanna max our potential. No reason why he can’t single handily bust the zone with his shooting off the dribble especially mid range.


How do we get that out of him? We’ve seen glimpses but it’s time for consistency from him

 

[paultzman]

Has to change immediately

 

[sju2000alum]

Had my store Christmas party tonight glad to see they won but thanks to o espn changing channels twenty times I’m sure I have nothing to watch when I get home

In the last 5 days this is John Gaffney's schedule:

Monday game in San Jose
Tuesday game in Las Vegas
Wednesday game in Charlottesville
Thursday game in Los Angeles
Friday game in Morgantown

A billion-dollar industry and no better system than exhausted refs crisscrossing the country every night as independent contractors is insane.

The depth doesn’t exist. We saw that clearly tonight.

It’s Dingle, Alleyne, Wilcher and Jenkins in the backcourt and Taylor, Ledlum, Soriano, and Zuby in the front court. Add Luis when he’s back,

Anyone else is a band-aid.

 

[sju2000alum]

In retrospect should have kept slazinski and let somebody else transfer.

I agree. Other than Alleyne, our bench stunk tonight. The starters also had mediocre games at the guard position. This would have easily been a loss against a better team.
Remember that our bench players LOST to Pace. Ironically, it was Alleyne who actually saved this game!

lol, definitely been a thought in my head even before tonight. Now that you said it first, I’ll admit it.

 

[SJU85]

Luis and this chronic shin problem is very concerning.

Is it “chronic”? I know my daughter dealt with them her sophomore year in high school (soccer and basketball) but she hasn’t had the problem since.

 

[mjmaherjr]

How many points did Slaz have ? I can’t even get espn somehow on my phone yet Redmen works albeit slowly

That's 9 players but pitino says he likes to, and will, play 10 or 11. He's just figuring out who will get those spot minutes. Get used to his style of coaching. I'm not going to question a HOF coach who clearly has not lost his fastball.

 

[Rocket]

How to fix shin splints in 30 seconds! Here you go RJ

Umh.........lubrication and a spoon.
Bet this quack stole this from Monte's personal sex secrets.

 

[SJU85]

Dingle-Alleyne-Taylor-Ledlum-Soriano was the lineup for a little bit in the second half. I really liked that lineup. There might be something there going forward.

I had noticed and mentioned here that Alleyne had gotten some run at the point and did so again. Wilcher is not ready yet. Need more smart play from Jenkins.
