Coach L didn’t tell them to get ****y , start playing one on one ball and zero defense the second half. That’s a veteran team that just popped down their leg. Tbh they think they’re better than they are. The only positive is this maybe shocks them straight. There’s only two ways this thing can go now.There’s no adjustment to “Stay in front of your man” That’s effort and hustle.
The fact that we have idiots on this board screaming about L being soft is further proof that we have by far the least knowledgeable fans in sports.
He had what was potentially a game saving three late, then followed it up with the worst shot decision of the game with that fall away baseline three that hit the side of the backboard.Wong is one of the most overrated players in a while. Just got blown by for a layup repeatedly in the 2nd half. Didn’t play a second of defense.
It's not just these guys. It's 2nd half Larranaga coached teams going way back. Blown leads. Lack of composure. Soft defensive and tentative offensive mentality. Stupid mistakes.I actually started believing in these guys and then being able to handle the lead / success.
you can add using up your timeouts with over 6 minutes to play...not just these guys. It's 2nd half Larranaga coached teams going way back. Blown leads. Lack of composure. Soft defensive and tentative offensive mentality. Stupid mistakes.
Without one of our starters. Coach L knows how to get his team ready. There’s a week until the next game, and honestly, I have this feeling Pitt loses @ ND looking ahead. It’s college basketball and we’ve had a great season to date. Does this loss suck? Yes. Was it inexcusable? Yes. Ultimately this is a wake up call. You can spin it and be negative if you’d like but I’d rather not. I think that’s a healthy approachSome posters are boneheads. We just blew a 25-blow lead in the second half against a team that lost its last road game by 40 points. They had lost 4 in a row and 7 of the last 8. We had the #1 ACC tournament seed on the line and entered the game as a projected 4th seed. We have no clue how this is going to affect us moving forward as a team. Losses like these historically are not easy to recover.
That was on Miller who panicked. The first 2 in the second half were used to try to stop runs.you can add using up your timeouts with over 6 minutes to play...
Well, except for losing the entire basketball program.Worst loss in program history. This team is one and done come tourney
its certainly not good coachingThat was on Miller who panicked. The first 2 in the second half were used to try to stop runs.
There is the very real concern.That’s the kind of loss that destroys momentum for games after.
Yes. This is on Coach L as much as the guys. He had ample time and opportunity to weather it … but we kept getting beat the same **** way. Kid with the dreads was literally In a layup line for 8 possessions straight. Adjustments just aren’t in football…
