My point is you assuming that UK fans get a bad rap is just like the UK fan assuming that Pitino was talking about UK with his statement.....same thing?

 

No, UK fans do have a bad rap.... :lol:

And that is your assumption and that is fine.....I assume the Card fans will feel very sad about 8:15 Sat. night!!!

^ To my point. Man, I bet you guys will be glued to your sets tomorrow with your favorite Baylor Bears hat on. To funny.

 

I watched Tiger Woods.

He badly outcoached his pupil in this game.

Disagree, Pitino just made the last adjustment and had the team with the defensive prowess to realize his direction. Both coaches made fantastic in-game moves in that one.

Thought you were a Duke guy? Or is it more convenient to be a Cards fan this year? :sssh:

It is perfectly acceptable to have two teams.

How many times does RP have to tell people he's a Duke fan first and Cards fan second? You'd think that a fan base with all those Ohio State/UK football fans would understand that.

I've never met a single UK basketball fan that was an Ohio State football fan....:idunno:

I'm not sure I know of any either. That is a strange combo.

The adjustment Pitino made was with about 8-9 minutes left, leaving Deng in the lane to shut off the Florida drives to the basket. Florida never changed their offense after that, which led to them blowing a double digit lead and hardly scoring a field goal in the last 8 minutes of the game. They had to either get Deng away from the basket by making him guard someone, drive and dish off or pull up and shoot the 12 footer in front of him. What I recall is Deng blocks or altered shots, wild attempts at the basket and contested 3 pointers.

 

I really like Donovan as a coach, but in this game and in a couple of the UK games, he either didn't try to make late game adjustments or his players just did not listen.

Boyton and Walker are his PG so...

I was actually stunned during the first 10 minutes of the second half how many times Florida ran a play to force a switch and Gorgui ended up on their point guard. The last time it happened it caused Siva to end up on the center and it's how he fouled out of the game. A very pleasant surprise that Florida couldn't take better advantage of that.

Bob Valvano said that Donovan was constantly adjusting, so Rick kept mixing it up.
