That's it from K.

"None of my teams have won here without losing. You just can't lose that much" - K

Laura Keeley @laurakeeley · 2m 2 minutes ago
"We didn't just lose tonight. We got our butts beat tonight. In some respects, some of that is good" - K

Laura Keeley @laurakeeley · 3m 3 minutes ago
K isn't down on his team. Fairly upbeat, given the circumstances. Says nothing surprises him now. Has felt they were off since Xmas

Laura Keeley @laurakeeley · 3m 3 minutes ago
paraphrase, but K says they're trying to cram 3 or 4 years worth of learning into one year. Tonight has basically a year's worth of lessons

Laura Keeley @laurakeeley · 5m 5 minutes ago
"I'm not totally surprised with us losing -- not tonight, I'm just saying us losing -- because I've never felt we were a great team" - K

Laura Keeley @laurakeeley · 6m 6 minutes ago
K "we have good effort. Our guys came to play, they practice well. We're just not very confident"

Laura Keeley @laurakeeley · 7m 7 minutes ago
"we’ve been giving more run outs. I think Part of that is missing shots" -- K

Laura Keeley @laurakeeley · 8m 8 minutes ago
"Obviously we were deserving of losing" - K

Laura Keeley @laurakeeley · 8m 8 minutes ago
K: "Our defense has been nonexistent the past two games" thinks maybe they're hitting a wall

Laura Keeley @laurakeeley · 9m 9 minutes ago
"In the first half, if we hit our free throws, we have about a 10-point lead at halftime. And maybe it's a different game" - K

Laura Keeley @laurakeeley · 9m 9 minutes ago
"The free throws -- we're not as confident as we have been. And that's part of being young" K

Laura Keeley @laurakeeley · 10m 10 minutes ago
"We're not a very confident shooting team right now" -- K

Laura Keeley @laurakeeley · 10m 10 minutes ago
K calls Rodriguez's performance one of the best he's ever seen from an opponent in Cameron

 

[truly101]

I find it hard to believe that the man who coached those USA basketball teams suddenly doesn't know how to install a system anymore. They've been ass, and they gotta play better. Which is fine.

Well Larranaga basically called K's defensive scheme clownshoes and Angel Rodriguez said he knew it would be easy to win this game. Where is Christian Laettner to chest stomp a motherfucker when you need him?

Pretty sure playing pro ball in Lithuania will take care of that.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

No lie, I miss me some Laettner.

Spoiler

Sorry, Kentucky fan.

Spoiler

Wait a minute, no I'm not.

 

[Bowser]

Reminds me of

 

[Crisco]

Hahahah tell me ya'll saw Anya stuff that weak shit from Meeks.

 

[DominoKid]

my god state is horrible defensively. i don't think i've seen our offense run this easy all season.

roy bout to trick this game off playing paige at off guard down the stretch.

 

[jakncoke]

This season..

 

[Grover Cleveland]

State only lost by 2 to UNC?

That's practically a W

 

[Elfforkusu]

Survival! On the road!

+1 in B1G play. The road to .500 and a probable NCAA berth is looking up!

 

[Crisco]

Yeah, that loss would have felt way worse if not for the comeback, Carolina was really whipping us at one point. We lost this one on the defensive end, gave up too many easy shots. Poor Kyle Washington, we lose every single game where he goes off.

 

[inm8num2]

Well, I guess Greg Anthony probably won't be with the CBS college bball crew much longer...

 

[Outdoor Miner]

He can join ESPN tho, they love their felons.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Duke plays Louisville in twenty minutes in a game that was a hell of a lot more appealing a week ago.

Instead of #DriveForFive, how about #PleaseDon'tFrickinEmbarassUsMore

 

[Deleted member 12837]

Just hoping we don't lose by as much as we did against them in the Elite 8.

Edit: of course a team who shoots 30% hits their first 3 against us

Edit2: holy shit K actually changed our defense

 

[Grover Cleveland]

A Coach K led team is using zone primarily in a game.

It's a cold day in hell folks

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Such a terrible ass game. Mainly because Louisville can't shoot and Duke can't get rebounds.

Amile's cooking though

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Defense always looks great when the other team can't shoot.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Goddamn Dukie V is creepy.

 

[Deleted member 12837]

Defense always looks great when the other team can't shoot.

True, but we're no longer giving up wide-open layups and getting blown by on the perimeter. That's a huge measurable improvement.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

They're certainly playing better.

But Louisville, good grief. Make a shot in your next game. Status quo in this one, please.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Dat Montrezl-Jahlil bromance

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Might need a timeout here, Louisville has exploded for 5 points.

 

[thefro]

Dukie V says Coach K is the "best coach in any sport today", lol

 

[Grover Cleveland]

This game is pretty fluky, but I'll take it.

Hard to expect that every team they play will go 15% on wide open 3s

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

Don't see much of a way Louisville beats Virginia home or away unless they go nuts from three.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Don't see much of a way Louisville beats Virginia home or away unless they go nuts from three.

Hard to say. I'm looking at UVA's schedule and while I think they deserve their top 5 ranking, I don't see how people can give #1 votes to them. The ACC schedule will give us an idea of the caliber of team they are.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

In other news, Miami's beating ND by 9 at ND. That makes me feel better about getting blown out of Cameron against them.

 

[Servbot24]

 

[jakncoke]

Nearly forgot the game

 

[Pollux]

Great passing

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

Best half I've seen all season from this team.

 

[Fjordson]

Serv! Team looked good.

 

[jakncoke]

I really wish this team had a go to scorer and inside presence

fuck the zebras

lol fuck you gt

 

[Servbot24]

Serv! Team looked good.

We avoided our traditional second half collapse, if we can continue that we'll do just fine this year. Probably not enough to beat Wiscy, but that's alright

 

[inm8num2]

MSU getting destroyed @ Maryland. Too bad we couldn't beat them at home in 2OT.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

Everyone showed up and played great today. Awesome win versus Syracuse.

 

[ErasureAcer]

Gophers won a game. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

 

[RoKKeR]

Welp, Vandy will get into the NIT if we're lucky. Drop to 1-3 in the SEC after a loss to Miss. State. Pretty disappointed because we have a great core of young players, but they don't look like they know how to win whenever there is some adversity thrown at them.

Ugh, have dropped 3 in a row and it's about to be 4 to Kentucky.

 

[perfectchaos007]

It has been a while since Texas got off to a good half like that

 

[bucknuticus]

Bunch of ticky tack ass fouls in that game, it was rather pathetic

 

[Brian Fellows]

Bryant McIntosh misses a game tying bunny as Michigan survives Northwestern without Spike and Ricky Doyle(2nd half). Feel like we got a really friendly whistle but I'll take it.

Luke Kennard has set an Ohio record with 34 made free-throws in a game. He has 47 points.

The Hack-a-Luke strategy does not appear to be working.

 

[Fjordson]

WHAAT the. Why so many free throws??

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

We need to step up the D, keep them from going on a run.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Congrats ISU. Kansas doesn't get beat often in the Big 12

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

CYCLONES! Rock Chalk that, Kansas. Great win by Iowa State. Despite our awful free throw shooting.

Scrappiness levels rising...

 

[jakefromstatefarm]

soo, Arizona actually looked like a decent team tonight


rebounding margin is what won this game; a trend I've noticed since conference play started is a more congested paint on offense allowing for second chance opportunities, p sure that's a top down adjustment. at any rate, Ashley and Tarczewski are finally producing on the glass (save the game in Corvalis) and that'll be one of the key factors going forward if this team wants to contend come March
