Not sure why Goode didn't play, unless it was because he was worried that goode couldn't keep up with the speed of the game. Man it was sickening to see the two best rebounders we have sitting on the bench in street clothes. Especially since we have been out rebounded 3 out of the last 4 games.

Pitino uses a pod system to break down the Big East. He breaks it down into three game stretches and sets the goal to go 2-1 in each. Accomplished in the first pod, but we have a chance to go 3-0 in the next stretch. We have Marquette and Seton Hall at home and then travel to Providence.

He does this to set short term reachable goals and to keep them from getting too down after a loss or to up after a win.

If they go 2-1 in each pod they end up 12-6 in conference and get a decent seed in the NCAA.
