Re: How many could they have won?

    I have heard a few people complain about Walker taking the ball coast to
coast and not pacing to Mercer on a fast break in a game...  However, it is
not like Walker turned the ball over or screwed up.  He was fouled;
therefore, no harm was done.  You nevre know why he didn't pass the ball.
Maybe he didn't have a good handle on the ball when he was getting ready to
pass and was forced to put it up or perhaps he didn't think the passing lane
was quite as open as all of you tend to believe it was.  Anyways... No harm
was done... So chill out.
        On a lighter note, Therese, I think it would be a great idea for
someone to give an overview of Pitino's show.  I and I'm sure everyone else
on this list would greatly appreciate it if you would take the time to do it
as you offerred in your post....Thanks.
