We sure can play down to the comp...so frustrating. Should have destroyed that team.

My opinion is that this team has overachieved this year. At the beginning of the year I would have thought our only chance of getting to the tourney would be if Dre Hollins was an first team All B1G player. He has regressed (possibly injured), Austin is up and down, and we're playing a bunch of guys who have never played at this level before this year (McNeil, Buggs, Smith). That has to say something about how good of a job Pitino has done. And I shutter to think of how this season would have played out if Mathieu wasn't here. He's without a doubt our MVP this year, and it's not even close IMO. Pitino tried to buy him an extra 30 sec. of rest yesterday by subbing him out at about 4:30 know the media TO was at 4:00. We couldn't break that passive press PSU was doing without him on the floor.

I agree, no need to complain if we don't beat Wisky today about not being in the field. I give us about a 20% chance of winning, we seem to match up with them pretty well with the exception of Hayes. If he gets going, we're in trouble.

I agree with all of that.

Hayes is another one of those very solid freshman (lots of them out there this year) that plays like a veteran. Takes good shots and gets to the line a ton.

Dekker hasn't been playing very well lately. Hopefully that continues today.

They squandered an 18 point 2nd half lead.

They just don't have enough legit scoring options.

I think Austin H. can provide some pretty good D on Dekker. I completely agree about Hayes, he doesn't look like a freshman out there right now. He's really progressed throughout the year. Kaminsky also worries me - he's gonna drag Mo/EE out of the lane.

What do you think is up with Dre Hollins this year? I absolutely love the kid, but he doesn't look confident out there right now. Maybe the ankle still isn't right. I remember watching against Florida last year where he was the best player on the floor and single handedly got us back in that game.

One of the worst games they played all year. Andre Hollins gimping,couldn't hit the broad side of the barn,and kept chucking them up anyway.

I agree with Barreiro. From a morality standpoint, they don't deserve to get in if they don't beat the badgers.

Yep, bad coaching here... Not sure what the alternative would be with Smith stinking lately, but Andre clearly wasn't himself.

Team doesn't deserve the big dance. Could make a lot of hay in the NIT. Need some good recruits for next step.
