Heck even Big Baby at LSU could run hard for awhile you just didn't get in front of him because stopping the tank took a few steps more than normal.
Good point Don. Pitino has always done this. Now and when he was at UK. He knows some teams are better than his so he looks for ways to counter punch it. Alot of teams can run with Pitino teams for 30 to 35 minutes, but can they do it for 40. Sometimes that's all it takes. McGee was inspiring in that overtime, he was playing defense like he had hot embers in his shorts, I love to see a kid play like it's the last time he'll ever get to, fun to watch.
