Was out to dinner for my wife's birthday tonight, glanced at the score at one point and saw something like 65-64 Louisville and decided not to check until the end of the night. Glanced at the box score and this thread, and I think I'm relieved I didn't watch.

From the sound of it in this thread, we're going to need better effort, creative coaching, and a lot of luck to string together more than two wins down the stretch.

Here are my creative two cents: Red needs to find ways to use the guys that aren't really ready/good enough to spell the others. Maybe that means pressing aggressively and leaving Carey back under the basket with the instructions to make everyone earn it at the line. Get a few minutes out of him each half and maybe the press gets us a couple turnovers. Let Cuffe play just a few minutes and pick up the PG full court and harass the daylights out of him, if only to wear out the opponents and maybe get a steal or two before racking up his fouls.

Do some stuff like that, mix man and zone, attack and try to get opponents into foul trouble, and hope someone shoots the lights out against Clemson/GT/VT/NC State, maybe we get ND, Ville, and two more if we're really lucky. Maybe steal one more in the ACCT, and get to 20.

Not enough to get into the tourney, but respectable.
