I have some thoughts about this game. Let’s get through it together.
First off, just as a refresher: this was Cuonzo Martin’s 5th loss to a team outside the top 100 in KenPom (and second to a non-Power Conference team outside the top 100). Kim Anderson had 4 such losses in his first year, and 4 his last year. So, keep this in mind just as some context to start. Because I saw some ludicrous comments last night saying Cuonzo is somehow worse than KA. That’s absurd.
Second off, the above in no way absolves the effort and execution from the team last night.
