I hate losing to Louisville but I’m already over it. They played great and we didn’t. As early as it is in the season we have a lot to figure out rotation wise and plenty of time to fix the issues this team has. Not having Noah, hurt offensively and not having Quaintance on the floor defensively hurt. We get them both on the floor and healthy I think we will be a totally different team.

Amazing that some think Noah is the answer....
He absolutely could have helped last night. It amazes me that you’re saying he wouldn’t have.
Some definitely go too far. The peaks and valleys with fans are always there. Some continually underreact too.
That lottery pick isn't guaranteed to be fully healthy or even play. All teams and players are banged up most of the year. Aberdeen played amazingly well, and he's been banged up. Lowe and Oweh played like trash, and they've been banged up. One can't be ignored and the other used as an excuse or a reason. Players will have good games and bad games. If you pay attention, you can identify the weaknesses and issues. And they have very little to do with being banged up.
Respectfully, last years team was non-competitive in that S16 game. They were also extremely lacking their full roster. Last years team was better offensively than this team has been so far. So, when I say they're a tick better I don't think a FF is completely out of the question. But after watching Lowe against some quality competition, it's easy to see he can't defend. That's a huge problem. He, when not making stupid turnovers, makes the offense way, way better than when Aberdeen is at the point. Moreno is worlds better than Garrison, just like Amari was way better last year. Except their mins are about an equal split, just as they were last year. MO inexplicably playing 18 mins is a concern as well. It's obvious the staff is struggling with rotation pieces. I can see a world when that gets straightened out, and if all players buy in to those roles, then this team could be a FF favorite.
Hey, I admitted this version of Chandler needs to be on the floor. If this level of play from him continues, he's worlds better this year than I thought he'd be. I had no agenda, I just didn't think he was good enough. Obviously it is looking like I was dead wrong.
My mom took a lot of a Tylenol when she was pregnant so I can't help it bro.
People wonder why our top coaching targets always reject us, despite the bag we are throwing at them. This board is all the explanation you need.
Those same coaches look at the run Cal had and then the way the fanbase turned on him.
Now they see CMP, a former Cat, a National Champ, a bright young coach, come to a team with literally no roster when he got here, and went to the sweet 16. Universally regarded as a fantastic coaching job. He assembled a team this season that is ranked top 10, beat Purdue in an exhibition, and now loses to a very good, very fired up Louisville team on their home court. Came back from down 20 and had a shot to cut it to one with four minutes left...all without their best player...and "fans" are acting like passengers on the Titanic trying to get on a life raft. If you run off Pope, don't blame Mitch when he goes through 7-8 guys before he finds a 2nd tier guy to take the gig. Look in the mirror

I had him on ignore before the transition. Just had to say my piece for some dang reason.
We will play more teams styled like LOU, than PURDUE, and that's what is an early concern right now.
I can't like this enough. I have yet to see anyone hang a banner before March (well, except Indiana).
If we lose another early game there wont be any fans alive to enjoy the March run lol.
This is always the dumbest damn response from “fans” who have no other rebuttal. Just a soft *** response like the team in blue that was in the floor last night. SOFT
