why are they all losing? seems to be (and barkley's hysterical halftime critiques in front of pitino) the teams (notre dame, pitt, etc) are short on athletes/nba talents, long on teamwork with great gym rattitudes?
talent is what it takes to win. and we are taking the teamwork approach. a fine idea, but i ultimately just want to make a final four. it will be like the orange bowl happening again. i know showbzzness can never bring us to a final four, but i worry that nothing short of a supremely gifted coach like brad stevens can overcome talent with great role players with gym rattitudes.
this is strange--but it keeps popping in my head. when we beat marist, in the post game presser the marist coach talked about how we "acc'd them"...just out-talented the weaker marist team. when he was at memphis w/ calipari, they called it "nba-ing" the other team...when they played like crap but just overpowered weaker teams with superior talent. i fear that we are shooting for mediocrity/respectability.
