Like any Pitino guard, he knows how to read and shoot off those high ball screens. And he isn't afraid to attack the rim. Such a terrific addition.
Condon and Richard, too. Kugel and Condon would be my "flight risks," but I am hopeful on both those scores. We'll see, though. Winning helps....
If by “reliable” you mean “elite,” then I agree with you, haha. Pullin’s handle isn’t sexy, but he creates shots at a high level for himself and...
At every level of basketball, zones cause fits. They get you out of your offense, slow the pace, and force you to run very limited, specific...
You don’t have to replace Pullin with another Pullin. Next year’s team will be entirely different and will need someone different. But you can...
Definitely different things each time. We’ve seen struggles against the press, free throw problems, breakdowns defending the arc, some opponents...
He’s definitely unique, but it’s also worth saying no one saw this coming. If we could find him, I am reasonably confident we can replace him....
Sad in what sense?
Amazing how quickly the tide turned. Always had some decent veteran coaches (Pearl, Cal, Barnes), but it seems like NIL cash + portal ravaging of...
I have been surprised, too. I had him pegged for a 10 and 4 guy, kinda like Newton last year for UConn. Didn’t see him being this solid...
Precisely. This wasn’t anything like Miss St or UGA. We had a bigger lead, our defense was dominant, and we didn’t start giving up good looks or...
But we keep hearing bubble, lol. Just ridiculous. No bad losses, a ton of tight losses to good teams, and two huge resume-building wins.
It’s virtually impossible to dominate a good opponent in every phase all game long. Yet we darn near did.
Exactly. Evan Miya has us 5th offensively and 7th defensively, owing to the second highest tempo rating.
But he was a terrific bench shooter for Golden the previous two years
He is usually pretty accurate. Suspect we were too low in his previous picks to bump us up too much. In any event, his opinion is utterly...
Redshirting was the plan heading into the season. With the injury last year, I wouldn’t be surprised if the staff gave it a shot, said he wasn’t...
So much fiction in this thread
I think people read too much into this stuff sometimes. Richard, Pullin, and Clayton are playing exceptionally well right now. Kugel isn’t. My...
Definitely not Roy and Fogler, lol
