I know Rick Speak requires grains of salt, but I really like what he said about developing their mentality about not getting down. The post game quotes from the players do backup what coach is saying about being positive and building up their confidence after missed shots/mistakes.
When Scott is flying to the basket on both sides, we are a different team. We need give him all the praise in the world when he plays like this to encourage more of it. It's back-breaking combined with RJ and Zuby.

Imagine if Vince improves half as much as Zuby did from yesterday 1 to year 2 under Pitino...he would be a nightmare for other teams.

I think you mean Zuby will be a real test for Sorber.
Exactly, Sorber is a real talent. But young kid better be ready to do battle every possession he is in, because the Zubs does not let up
I agree w LMF hoping certain guys get untracked re three point attempts. In the meantime, I appreciate our length, physicality and ability to deflect and disrupt. When three point shooting ticks up to acceptable level hopefully, we will have a lot going for us. 
on that.

Don’t see us improving dramatically from there but honestly as long as we defend the three it will diminish the issue that we can’t shoot them.I agree w LMF hoping certain guys get untracked re threepoint attempts.

Think as long as the right people taking them, we should take maybe 10 a game.
Not looking for “dramatic” improvement, just reasonable uptick. Of course, you need the right guys shooting them.

So has CA, in pain staking detail, about a week ago. Shout me out Zach!
Pitino made it a point to point him out in the press conference.

I was hacked by atoning “Mullins Revenge”I stopped reading after “I agree with LMF…”
especially if he was sitting on the table and had no socks on.I liked the Mullin outside the huddle episodes
You're pretty much both right. The late pick up of the game and the health issues his first two years had to eat into his development. He's not your typical junior who's been playing for 10 plus years at a high level with an intuitive approach to the game at this point. His ratings were primarily based on potential that has been hampered by the heart issue, the knee and what my Trojan friends out here would call the curse of USC basketball. But his physical tools are great, but as you say his reaction time and body control aren't naturally developed as of yet. IMVHO
I haven't read the whole thread but the team just kicked butt last night. I think midway through the second half X was just demoralized by the physicality and relentlessness. We were the bullies who stole their lunch money. If this the identity of this team I'm more than OK with it.
