I've deferred grading Coach P's second season.
As a game like last night doesn't tell us anything we didn't already know.
Going up against a top ten team, firing on all cylinders, without our best all around player, and without our (admittedly flawed) starting point guard,
was not likely to go well regardless who was coaching the sidelines.
But I think from now til end of season, starting with ND, is Coach's Rubicon.
No remaining team we face is in the AP or Coach's top 25 nor has received any votes.
Yes, some good ones, VTech among them.
But others we would hope to solidly outmatch with our talent and assuming good coaching.
So I think this final stretch will be the decisive factor in how our season goes, and reflect a lot on Coach.
So Let's go Card! Let's go Coach!
(And hoping Nunu is able to return quickly)
