Its criminal.

I see Pitino is starting to give playing time to Konatay and the guy who was ineligible. Less PT for Eliason.

If you shoot FT's as poorly as he does and you're a big, you should sit.

Start working to the future. THis cast of "leaders" lacks the leadership Austin Hollins had.

Too many forced shots, too many errant passes. Pitino's brought in some decent athletes to play his style, but they need to be smarter. Every possession matters, can't give them away. Agree on the free throws.

And are stupid afterward. Andre Hollins blames it on Adidas basketballs.

Loser mentality. This team is weak.

Wish someone could give us some insight.

Still not a good over all game. 19 turnovers by Nebraska should have provided a larger score than 60

Status: offline 		Yep on both counts. I'd extend that to the whole team, in terms of basketball IQ & in particular, shot selection. But doggone it, they play their butts off on the defensive side and the rebounding woes we had earlier are not as bad now. Good win over a very solid Purdue squad, today. I hope the guys can sustain the energy level...wish we had a little more depth, because our style of play is incredibly taxing on us. I can see us collapsing down the stretch due to fatigue.

Mo Walker has improved by leaps and bounds, but has to have the softest/weakest hands on the team. Anytime he's near traffic down low it's a block, a steal, or a TO it seems. Love how he hits his FT's, though. Our freshman guard sensation could benefit from some FT practice, alright. Going to cost us a big game if he doesn't shore it up.

Hurt has a little brother that is only in 8th grade and is tall too, and playing varsity, may be even better.

Seem to hear that a lot, that the younger brother is always better. I wonder why? Maybe they start playing with their brother at a early age
