Yeah, I'm sure the game plan involved players slipping on the wet court during in-bounds plays.

Even the announcers verbally expressed their praise towards Lloyd's ability to adjust throughout the game.

Our size, depth and athleticism in the frontcourt didn't match up to UF on paper. Regardless, our staff created opportunities to find open buckets and put up 93 points.

How did our Size not measure up? Krivas was basically the biggest player out there. Koa is not a normal "SF" for College. He is small in NBA terms, but he is capable of holding his ground and pushing offensively vs 6'10" College Stick Bugs.

Our "Staff" didn't go out there and put the ball in the hoop. Tommy was out of his league down the stretch and Bradley is just a great veteran PG to have as I said in the March Madness Clemson loss, he went "Maniac Mode", well that is who he is. A willing Driver who plays more like a D-Wade trying to get to the Rim than a "Caleb Love" who relied on Chucking.

We will need more than Koa Peat if we want to finish in the Top 8 of the Big12. This Conference is not a joke.

Our Non-Conference Slate looks hard on paper, but we will find out if it walks the walk.

Ivan was playing PF at times. Arizona played tough basketball against a solid competitor.

The Cats will lose a good amount of games this season. The young players need time to become consistent, our frontcourt isn't deep and our schedule is brutal. We play HALF of Bilas' top-18 that he released today...and we're one of the 18.

It'll be fun to see whether the team can consistently improve as the season progresses.

Mark your calendar for 1/21, the return of the Kerr in his SIXTH season as a Professional College Basketball Player.

I am just speaking to what I saw.

If you think I am not happy about the Win, then that would be incorrect.

It is far better to write this up having the Win than having to write the same thing up with a Loss. The truth is the truth. We were lucky to escape our mistakes this time. I think they will learn from them. The execution down the stretch was how you find yourself in an Elite 8 against a 33-1 type Illinois up 15 or so with 3min to go and go on to lose the game.

Learn the lesson now.

Or... just stay delusional.
