I think this means you have to miss every game until we lose.

Lots of changes from Pitino tonight.
- Played lots of zone that Xavier didn't seem prepared for
- More Alleyne, something that will likely be a constant going forward.
- Shortened rotation. Played 8 guys mostly and then very limited minutes for Sim and Conway.
- More Dingle at PG. Dingle took over the PG role when Jenkins went out and even played it some when Jenkins was in. Dingle also played with the ball in his hands during Sim's few minutes.
Xavier's bigs are pretty bad and that is going to stop them from picking up enough wins in the BE to make the tourney.
One thing I'm begging Pitino to do is limit the amount of midrange shots this team takes. Way too many guys settle for 14-18 footers and not only is it the least efficient shot in basketball, we don't make many of them either. Jenkins, Dingle, Ledlum, Alleyne, and Soriano all take way too many midrange shots. The only one that doesn't is Taylor. Drives me crazy

Imagine UConn starting 0-2
When we first got Alleyne I said he would be our second best player by years end
I can promise you I will miss the Hofstra game (will be out of the country). So if we lose to UCONN but beat them, then clearly you’re right.
Stay in the SouthSide of the basement . Until relieved from duty .
Alleyne is a big time player. Perfect for Pitino . Great defender and Dangerous shooter from anywhere.
He should see significant PT the rest of the season. .
Important W.
Now we have some “ house money” to
play with.
BE has its usual unpredictability - UConn, Marquette already have Ls!
Enjoy the holiday season and
And Blessings to all -

Those two guys you mentioned but also DJ Kennedy. He does nothing flashy just makes winning plays

A week of rehab is best for his futureNo sense in ruining their national championship chances by rushing him back.
Doesn’t look good as Soriano will run circles around him if he’s not fully healthy. Good for us though. Winnable game. Great win to open big east play this evening too. Let’s keep it going.

Every time I get mad at Ledlum for clunking a jumper or getting stuffed on a drive, he dives for a loose ball or fights hard for a rebound. He is finding it tougher to score against the length and athleticism of the high major forwards and centers, but he gives maximum effort and takes a lot of bumps along the way.
