was sorta strange last night.

One reporter brought up rebounding and JB said the rebounding was fine.  Really? He might want to watch the game tape.  L'ville was killing us on their offensive boards last night, particularly in some crucial spots.  TL and TT each had only one offensive rebound themselves.

Another reporter asked about the final sequence and JB said it was a good play. That's debatable. Let's ask a guy to drive into the lane when he has had minimal success doing so in the previous 45 minutes. The end of the Clemson game was a well designed play because it had multiple options.  This one last night?  Not so much.

In the presser JB was effusive in his praise of White and Howard while killing TR (couldn't even bring himself to mention his name). Meanwhile White had a miserable shooting night (that happens) but also threw a couple of cross court passes that were mind boggling for their stupidity. Howard had a few obligatory TOs with one kneecapping pass and another bad pass on a potential fast break.

I don't think any of White or Howard's mistakes needed to be pointed out but the same stands for TR. You win as a team and you lose as a team. You'd think after 40 years that JB would have that figured out by now.
