Same players played about the same amount of minutes during our 10 game winning streak. Reyne only shot 6 times. I don't think he was tired. He just didn't get the ball like he usually does. Rooths only played 10 mins, Frank 2 mins, and Traore 21. If our players were tired, wouldn't CPK substitute more? GT actually missed more FT's than we do so you could say we could have lost by a lot more.

Like CJW has said several times already and he said it again post game that if he can keep this class together and ad some more pieces he will have a great team. I have noticed the past few games that Russell and Cochran are playing fewer minutes. I don’t know why maybe they are getting beat out in practice or maybe he is trying get more minutes for the underclass players.

I firmly believe CJW knows what kind of a team he has and their expectations. I see clearly why Elif plays the minutes she does even though she is not very productive. She does give effort. To me thats a clear signal to the seniors. So he's going to try to win the best way they can but without hopefully losing a lot of players for next year and build continuity. If he does lose players, he'll bring some in.

DBK in her contract specifically put clause if Nebraska came open, Congrats to Her!

To clarify-Iove what she did here. I just cannot wish her success at a program that is a direct competitor to us winning a national championship.

I'll 2nd that I loved what she did here. But I'm not going to wish her ill will. Nebraska VB is irrelevant to me as is every school but U of L and I'll cross that bridge when we do face them.

I think it is the lack of depth that is causing the 2 half “collapses”.
The players shots are short and they get sloppy which are signs of fatigue
If they hit their free throws we would be talking about a different game though

Teams lose all the time, the way you lose and who you lose to is what matters. I wonder how many of those teams blew a 13 point lead against a team as bad as GTECH..

It was a terrible loss ,we were sloppy, we got what we deserved. Going to be interesting to see how Kelsey pulls them back together. We are not an overly talented team, we win on our will and just out grind the other team. We started out that way yesterday then the wheels came off.. Signs were definitely showing the last 10 minutes of the the Wake game and followed us to lastnights game.

When we go on the those droughts and lose focus Kelsey needs to recognize it right away and call some timeouts to try to refocus everyone..

Next few games will be interesting, hopefully this is fixable and doesn't ruin the rest of the season. Losses like this can make the wheels fall off the season... I love this team and Kelsey. This loss hurt !

Glad you asked CR:

#11 Kansas blew a 21 point lead in their 11 point loss to unranked Baylor. Earlier in the day, one of the worst KSU (10-11) teams in recent memory went into Ames Iowa and beat #3 Iowa State by 19 points. That is just one Saturday; it is an ever-increasing phenomenon in college basketball.

As I stated in the post that you referenced, I am not trying to excuse our performance at GT, but you might want to conduct a little research about GT before you minimize their ability to be competitive on a given day. The injuries have plaqued GT all year, evidenced by their 6 player rotation. Saturday was the first game in several weeks where Lance Terry was 100%, and most recognize that he is as talented as any player in the ACC not named Cooper Flagg.

Definitely think he’s giving as many minutes as is reasonably possible to the younger players. For those players whom Walz wants to keep, recruiting them for next year is starting already, by showing them that they will have every opportunity to play and develop here next year.

Yeah, but GT hasn't been putting that much energy in their past 10 games. Cards were due for a letdown because they have been playing so hard and focused for two months.

It's going to lead to physical and mental fatigue.

They weren't coming off a week off either. It's not fatigue ! We were sloppy and unfocused and got away from what we do. It was a lot like the EKU game that we could've lost, hopefully it's a one off thing but we played really bad the last 15 minutes 2 games in a row.

Still love the team and coach Kelsey, I'm just not going to sugar coat a bad loss because we played like sht..
