    Lucas Morillo is a multi-read offensive player. He might have an opportunity to be a guy who is allowed to go 1:1 at some point this season. At the very least, he will be encouraged to attack close outs. Ben, on the other hand - seems he was asked to either shoot the basketball or reset...

    Wanted to add - Morillo appears far more likely/ready to contribute than does Ethan Brown. Assessment just from watching some of this game: Brown's team was WAY overmatched. They needed him to be way more assertive for this to be even moderately competitive. Just wasn't that guy on this night...

    I’d never heard of Principia until this year. I looked into their schedule and am surprised they even play in the Missouri association playoffs. Place feels like a La Lumiere, which has two teams - one that plays a national schedule and one that operates as a typical high school team. Principia...

    Louisville being #10 in the AP poll, 18-2 in the ACC and getting an 8-seed in the '25 tourney was BRUTAL. (LOL)

    Dang. Really like all of the potential backcourt adds and think there were enough minutes there. The Vaaks thing makes a ton of sense if we want to play slow again. But I think you need like 73-74 possessions/game (as opposed to 67ish) to try to convince all the guys that they will get shots.

    I need a super cut of the incredible misses we’ve had tonight. It would be like 3:00 long.

    Just nothing rolling in for us. I’m telling you it’s a greater being at work against us.

    Try telling yourself there isn’t a higher power at work here. This is effing cosmic.

    Love the kid but Kylan 5 of his last 24 and a vast majority are within 4 feet of the basket. Just never calibrated with that hand, which HAS to be hampering him. Can’t win with that in your backcourt.

    So bummed right now. We had a three in the air to go up 11 with two minutes left and then we coached ourselves right out of it. Houston has to be feeling great right now and our guys are like “we just played a masterful half defensively and it’s basically tied.”

    Same s$&t against Wisconsin. We played way too well to only be up like 6 or whatever at the half in both games. Does not bode well AT ALL.

    Can’t get out coached. That sequence is going to be in our heads. Gave Houston all the momentum. Gave bos a second foul. Utter stupidity.
