If 3 OT's in a week doesn't wake them up....I doubt a loss will.

A win is still a pat on the back. A loss is shameful and makes you angry....something they need.

I disagree but just out of curiosity, which game do you plan on rooting against the Cats?

Do you start pulling for the other team at tipoff?

Who said I root against UK? I said we need to lose, it'll have a positive effect. What I want and what is good for the team are 2 different things. Remember 2012 in the SEC tourny, how'd that workout?

If this teams gets any more confident they wont even take the floor, just sign autographs. A loss will have these guys back to chaotic machines.

Signing autographs?

Dude you're being an a-hole extraordinaire. Please cite, using game film and/or pictures, where the players were so arrogant that they nearly signed autographs.

Jeebus cripes, this kind of stuff should get you banned. Bashing the players with no evidence at all in a mean and hateful way. You suck royally.

In that case, you should lose your posting privileges, because your posts are shameful.

^^^^^Uh, NO!!!^^^^^

Makes you wonder if some of these guys ever played organized sports.


Tons of teaching moments can come from a double-overtime victory debacle. These guys know they're playing like shite. It's not like their mentality is, "ooh, we played like garbage; so let's not listen to coach now because we got this with or without him...."

I guess we took a step backwards and UL got a precious L today. Keep that up and they'll be awesome.








Losing = bad. Always. It's never good. Ever.

I think maybe 12 losses would make us really good.

I wonder if Indiana fans were saying they needed to lose a game all through the '75-'76 season?

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

I'm waiting for anyone to logically explain how a loss changes a player's mentality verses a debacle victory. How in the hell does it allow for more teaching opportunities when the players still realize they lost regardless? It's an immeasurable insult to these players as competitors to assume they'll only listen if they lose a game or to assume they somehow walked away from this week with any sort of residual cockiness.


They know they sucked. The teaching moments are there, win or lose.

There is not now and will never be- a good loss.

I don't think it's a listening issue. I think it's effort, or what you believe you have to do. In the 2012 SEC tourney, Teague was letting opposing guards blow by him--cuz hey, Davis has this. Then when they started paying, he'd tighten it up. Then they won--next game, he's chilling on D again.

I think winning reinforces you can play like crap, and still win. You worry less about things like shot selection, how hard you go on defense, etc.
