  I can’t help but thinking back to when Majerus was coaching. When we had a close game, a few points ahead or a few points behind with a minute or two to go, he was the best tactician ever. We KNEW we were going to win, and most of the time we did.
  
  I think coach K needs to up his game in this area. We’ve given up lead after lead and somehow always manage to make it a tossup at the end, like giving up last night’s 10 point lead. It should have never come to the Taylor foul situation, or the Loveridge one.

  But then there was the NC game against Kentucky where they lost after a 10 point lead in the second half.

  We had a 17 point lead at halftime @westslopecutthroat but what happened in that game wasn’t a case of making mistakes. We ran out of gas. Andre Miller was gassed. Kentucky (yes that word is not filtered here) just had too many horses.

    Correct….they did run out of gas against Kentucky. Whereas last night they simply fell apart.
