I'm sure this has been stated elsewhere, but this team looks much better WITHOUT Chris Jones. Yes, the Cards lost a lot of experience with him, but they also lost the me-first attitude.

With Q at point, I am seeing better movement, better ball distribution, and Rozier can be a true #2. I only saw the first half last night, but that looked like a complete effort. UL was in total control.

Win or lose next week against NC State... this is a successful year and some good foundations to grow on.
 
The team lost to UNC not that long ago. We look better offensively because Pitino has been working on it more like he does every year. He said that the UNI game is the one game where he focused more on offense in preparation more than defense.

It's a Pitino thing. Not a Chris Jones thing.

This x 1000

also , The team was wanting Chris to fly straight, so there was an off court distraction.

Chris or no Chris, the offense needed to be revamped or theyd have no chance at Indy.

Definitely a Pitino thing, no doubt coaching is a big component of every team's success, especially at this point in the season. My point is that Jones, as talented as he was, was too selfish (on and off the court) and was often a distraction. With that distraction removed, Pitino & Staff are able to implement a better game plan. Jones was a weapon, but would cut his own team as much as the opponent. Q is showing a lot of promise and is much more reliable, allowing the coaches to prep the team.

Just my opinion of course... but I think this team is stronger and better without CJ.
