Tonight we took to Twitter to find out what everyone thought about the game & their outlook on the season going forward. You guys know what I think. When we are at full strength we still have one big problem. Droughts & situational shot selection. It has to change because we have the talent to go a long way if corrected. I also asked the contributors to give their thoughts. This is what they came up with.
First off, some of the Contributors thoughts:
@LJThaFiasc0-Encouraging to know that we almost won with 3 backup players and our best shooter going 2-10
@GeneralWasp-It’s still very optimistic. FSU is a damn good squad, we were without one of our more dynamic playmakers, and we only lost by 5. My concern is that the last few games, we’ve struggling in the first 5-10 minutes of the game. We can come back against Clemson. We can’t do that against FSU
@PaigeS_502– I think this team is poised for a great run in March. Q being hurt gives his backups good minutes for practice which will come in handy in the tournament.
@KruegerMania-About what I expected. The Q injury blows but I think Louisville will be fine until he returns, as long as they can run their offense. Defense is fine.
@UofLNunn– Can’t complain about the record when you take into consideration the strength of schedule. I still believe this is a final 4 team.
Now CardNation speaks:
I believe this loss is like the Duke loss during our title year. I think Hicks gained valuable exp& we will be better for it

Good Effort today.. We are improving every game. We are unpredictable and unreliable right now. Practice Free Throws!

I think we're fine, today just showed anybody can step up at any moment. We may not have won, but I think we will be tough to beat in March.

This team lacks the basketball iq to win close games on the road against good competition but will fight to the end…

I think we say this every year, but we need SHOOTERS. We missed layups, shot 2/13 in 3s, missed free throws. We NEED SCORERS

We lost to a Top 10 team on the road we almost (and should have) beat with Levitch and Hicks as best players today. #Solace

forcing the entire roster to grow without Q. Will pay huge dividends as soon as W is back in the groove.

our bench got better. Our bench will get better. Benches are what truly determines a Final Four run.
— Michael Zimmer (@MZimmer557) January 22, 2017
we cant hit free throws, lay ups and not one person can be trusted to pick up this team and carry them
