Mark,
What is sad is that you are describing most teams anymore. These kids get told how great they are and a little setback messes up their (NBA) minds. I love the game but the mentality of these kids have changed so much. I think they feel it's just a stopping point (for the ones that have a chance) until their eligible to go Pro. That has almost ruined College Ball. The Coaches are working harder than ever to keep new talent since most leave so quickly.

Oh so true Mr. Don. I am a Cards fan through and through and always have been. With that being said though I have to make a confession. One of my favorite college teams ever was Pitino's Unforgetable's at UK. A bunch of misfit whiteboy's that nobody wanted and was told they couldn't jump, was to slow and had no real talent. The only thing THEY that said this forgot was the ticker inside them rascal's chest's and the desire. That's what I love to see, Passion and desire. You can't coach heart, it just can't be done, you either have it or you don't. Your point was dead on Don, dead on.

Does anybody else enjoy Coach Knight and Digger just talking x's and o's the whole game? They barely gave Brent Musburger enough air to call the plays. I like Brent as well though and felt guilty for wanting to hear more of the other two. It's like free lessons on the fundamentals of basketball.

Brent is alright and I actually think Bobby does a nice job of calling the game when they are actually talking about the game.

Digger Phelps is an absolute tool, can't stand the arrogant SOB and have never like him. His stupid absoltely GAY markers that match his tie make me almost have a bowell movement. Also three people is too many to call a game. Digger stinks!

My wife loves the highlighter gimmick - I think it's cheesy but in an over the top way. Just like when Raftery does his "Sean Mcdonough and Jay Bilas, _____ opens up 'manaman'". I always give a silent chuckle but at the same time I always cheer against Syracuse to get the tip so they can open up zone. Digger makes a good sidekick for coach Knight - he can talk to Knight in ways that others can't because they're pals. Makes Knight seem less uptight. But yeah 3 in the booth is a crowd sometimes. Phelps as an analyst - I can take him or leave him.

Best for the Cards to just move on from this loss. Wrong place, wrong time and unprepared - it happens. Just ask Duke about Clemson..........

He owns Samuels like an old suit. Samuels is slower than steam off dog crap in January.
