Rick doesn't seem thrilled with his big man deciding to stop taking the wide open 12 fter... "Plays like Gorgui not shooting that shot, that bothers me because we work on that every single day for 45 minutes. I don't care if our guys miss shots," Pitino said. "When they're open, they've got to shoot the ball. That kind of thing irks the hell out of me."

In a game like last night better to get the ball up on the rim and go for the put back then to have him stand there holding the ball.

How about the job on Kuric? Did that guy get more than a look?

Maybe he stopped shooting because he shoots like crap from there!

That's exactly what would have happened, too. Rick will throw that into his counterattack next time. However, we can play it based on how they move their guys around. Whenever Kuric is on the outside, leave the FT line area open. If he comes in, collapse.

Towards the end, Pitino had Slopshire (intentional mispelling) rotating to the foul line - he did nothing. This will definately knaw at Pitino - and we should expect a new strategy when UL visits the Dome. I think Kuric was left on the perimeter for offense. But since we shut him down, Pitino may put him in the middle to shoot or distribute.
