Louisville up by 9 over Duke at the half.
Wow dam good 1st half. 8 steals in the 1st half resulting in 16 points. Now is usually when Q gets going so the 2nd half should be good.
yep, he struggled finishing but still played good defense and grabbed 5 boards.Quote:

Give me the Holman negative stats tonight
He’s actually wanting the ball and showing some great moves against a good defender. If he finds his offensive game, we could just hit another dimension.Quote:

He gave us effort and if he can do that for 15 minutes we will be a better team for it. Howland just has to yank him the minute he’s not hustling imo so Holman knows he can’t take possessions off. Holman hurt us against LSU last week because down the stretch he didn’t do shit but he played a great first half. Had we just played him 15 minutes rather then 27 we more then likely win that game. It’s not rocket science. You can tell when Holman doesn’t give effort because the other team either gets an easy basket or easy put back.Quote:

come on ref. clear flop. have a brain.
Maybe the wrong place to ask but what are our chances of making the tournament? If we win this how much does it help us?
Are we going to need to win some in the conf tourney to make it or will we be safe
Just terribleQuote:

All I’m gonna say is a couple of y’all agree with the party line and pile on 1 player. You shit on his offense but guess what he had a good half of D. He has confidence issues but you can say what you want we need Holman to be great and we need him on both ends. He can’t improve if you sit him when he improved on D tonight. Needs 8 - 10 minutes a halfQuote:

I'd pull Carter for that stupid ass shot
you need to understand any criticism of Holman is indirect. We are mainly blaming Howland for starting him too long and then after benching him, playing him too much. Holman definitely has a role to play and that role is 8-10 minutes per game in the frontcourt rotation.Quote:

How’s it dumb? It’s the truth. We should be blowing out Alabama.Quote:

No, he's correct. Should be blowing them out, but suddenly, again, we've resorted to AAU ball. Luckily we've gotten some t.o.s and some easy layupsQuote:

And why is that? They a shit team? Our d is perfect? They miss a shot be don’t? We are playing well but damn we ain’t winning by 20 because they are gonna battle like we did against Kentucky. Funny we should of won against Kentucky if we play perfect but we expect Alabama to lay down. So yeah I say that’s dumb
random thought, I wish Nick was a better 3 point shooter.
Smart taking both Q and Peters out there immediately a 5-0 run.
Sorry yours has been direct. And all I?m saying is if he gives effort like tonight run him out there and let him work on D. We may be surprised by the OQuote:
