Embarrassing lack of effort
- Thread starter Knucklehank1
- Start date
I have to agree. It's one thing to get beat by an opponent, it's another to keep shooting yourself in the foot to help them that much more.
All true. These guys have quit on the season. No good times for us in sight for quite some time.
I see no fight in this team. Back in the day when the teams I played on, were getting our asses handed to us, we at least kept scrapping. We didn't just quit. I told my wife a few minutes ago, I wish one of our guys would at least start a fight or something as it would at least show me they care. She talked me down on that narrative real quick. LOL.
Has Padgett had a technical foul this year? I think I would have had one by now just to show this team some emotion if anything.
If a team that starts all upperclassmen need the coach to get a T to get fired up then it’s a lost cause.
Nobody said they needed him to, just think it’s amazing that’s he able to keep from getting one, knucklehead.
It’s Knucklehank. And I don’t think it’s in Padgett’s DNA to go ballistic. To do so now would be fake juice.
I felt about this game like I felt about the women's team last Monday. I got my wish in one case...
Moral victory...yeah. They are going to have hard time filling that stadium next few years....better get a big time coach soon after this season is over...or going to lose alot of money.
Want to argue but can't. The lack of effort is something I never expected from anyone wearing a UofL uniform. What I saw last night tells me this 'team' has quit as a team and has quit on their coach, their fans, and themselves.
Pathetic display of character. No pride. No fire. No effort. No stones. If I get punched in the mouth, I'm going to fight back until I can't fight any longer and at one time, that was the cornerstone of a UofL basketball team.
Last night Duke treated our basketball team like the $10 hookers McGee was offering up to recruits. It was pathetic.
Im getting to the point that my sports fandom is turning into what most of America is....football and baseball.
CBB just seems dirty, mix that with preferential treatment and the product that our University has put on the court. That has made me disinterested.
I bet I have watched a total in minutes of two full basketball games all season long and have not been to one single game.
This could be the beginning of the end, for me at least.

Sorry to disagree with people who are surprised and disappointed... But this season is turning out exactly as I expected. An inexperienced assistant replacing Pitino at the last minute coaching these same guys was not cause for the optimism many people showed.
I've been pulling for them nonetheless in every game, but I literally bet money that this team would not win 20 games. Whether they looked good or bad in doing that--suffice to say I expected bad at some level--that appears to be where we're headed. If you're deflated and frustrated, your hopes for this team were probably too high.
We move on...

I could have tolerated a .500 season IF the guys fought. No excuse for these guys to have laid down and disgraced the uniform and themselves. The future looks so bleak.
If these guys played smarter, with more effort, without choking at crunch time, etc., THEY WOULD BE WINNING MORE GAMES. People asking for improvement in one or more of those areas are simply asking for more success on the court whether you realize it or not. And I respectfully submit that 'more success' was an unreasonable request under the circumstances.
HOW they've fallen short is almost irrelevant. You have to lose games somehow--pick your poison...

Leadership is what worried me about this team even before Pitino was fired. This team lacked a TWill, Gourgi, Luke, Siva, or Donavan to lead. Ray has had a good season but he never strucked me as a leader type.
The box score revealed 34 minutes playing time for Sutton, Williams, Nwora and Perry. Play some of these guys more. If not we are going to lose them. At least they look like they care when they are in there. My grandson's comment was that it looked like Ray and a bunch of guys out there.
