The Liberty game gives us hope; however, we play UNC in nary a week and they could very well come into Rupp and destroy us. Crawford and Bradley are eager to be our scorers on the perimeter, and Patterson is holding his own in the post. As long as Legion, Stewart, and Coury continue to play effectively, we should be OK. It is my opinion that Legion will be a star in a couple of years.
My big fear has been constant throughout the season, and it is that a team with a strong low post game will be impossible for us to stop. Patterson is a strong player down low; however, he is merely a four. We don't have a true center that can body-up a Hansbrough or Caracter in the paint. Thankfully, there are no Florida's with a front line Horford and Noah, but we will still struggle against big teams. In the meantime, we have to beat the teams that we are supposed to beat; losing to UNC, IU, and UL will suck tremendously, but it won't ruin us. I'm more worried about Houston, UAB, and the "shitty" teams. We can't afford anything close to another GW slip-up. First, for the good of our program; second for Gillispie's personal health.
Kragthorpe is staying. Not surprising at all; but a very good decision despite his naysayers. Firing Kragthorpe would make UL look like twice the joke that they are now. Having a down year during a oaching change is fine (prepare yourselves, UK fans), but quickly firing the replacement makes the UL football head coach job impossible to sell. He can bring in some recruits and UL will slowly glide back to their spot in mediocrity.
Duke's postgame celebration after winning the Maui Classic was fucking sickening. There is no way they act like that in real life. Tell me they are being extra douche-y for the cameras. One guy couldn't stop hugging players; he was the obligatory short, white tool at the end of the bench (not Pocious). Coach K still gets some bullshit calls. There were at least two touch fouls called, in successive possessions. I cannot handle watching Paulus win; they won, but it was no thanks to him. He threw the ball directly to a Marquette player once; and in the waning moments, he again attempted to literally soft-toss the ball to them. He sucks so bad at everything.
Oh, surprise here, Jon Scheyer won the video game competiton. What a nerd. He's the only player, coincidentally, that I can stomach on that team.
I think we will beat UT tomorrow. Ainge blows and maybe our D will stop runs, screens, and slants! We'll put up some points as well. Should be an emotional day for me, as I frequently cry at senior day celebration. I cried at J.P. Blevins' and even Josh Carrier's. Those videos get to me.
Pete Sampras still plays tennis!!??!??
