Well Im not going to make excuses for the loss. I dont think this loss is really bad. Its early still. I think that this game showed just how special Gorgui Dieng was for the program. The defense just isnt clicking yet but I have full confidence it will in the coming weeks. Russ Smith is easily top 5 player in the country. Chris Jones has more than replaced Siva talent wise and is only going to get better. However, the leadership of Siva and the heart just isn't there. Hats off to UNC, they played a terrific game! Paige is the real deal. It hurts to say this and you wont see me say it often but UL got out hustled tonight. Not often A Pitino coached team gets out hustled, they may not win every game, but they never get out hustled. Tonight was one of those rare times. I have full confidence UL will bounce back though. Its still to early for any team to be clicking on all cylinders

Wiggins,randle,Jabari Parker,Aaron Gordon,Marcus Smart, all better than Russ smith I'm sure others can be named as well.
