We haven't.

I cannot believe this, but according to David Worlock from the NCAA that is the first time in the history of college basketball a team has blown a 23 point lead in the final ten minutes of the game.

That just seems like it cannot be right. I'm not saying it's common, but I almost cannot believe that it has never happened before. I mean...not even ONCE?

Its starting to become a Chris Mack staple and is why I will never trust a Mack coached team to get past the second weekend. He's a choker and his teams reflect that quite often.

I will say he is good at game prep (although against Nova he was a moron), and hes good at time outs. However, his in game coaching leaves a lot to be desired, and he does not make adjustments once his opponent changes their game plan. That Louisville team looked like a scared high school team the last 9 minutes of the game and that is all coaching.

Is this in reference to message boards or twitter or what?

Twitter. One guy was already putting him above rick pitino

I'd be very interested to see chris mack play this year's iteration of nova just to see if he'd still lose by 20+

Nothing epitomized his nova prep more than the game at cintas last year where he admitted he hadn't watched any game tape from our first loss on the pregame show on fs1 and then called their offense simple and basic. i've hardly ever been more dumbfounded by a coach's comments. how you could have that approach to a team that has humiliated you mercilessly 9+ times is beyond me.

You can't be a real "blue blood" program unless your message board contains a "Fire the Coach" thread, especially after a loss or two.

Or 13 (6 in a row- including a come from ahead loss to DePaul at home)

We haven't.

Maybe not the 23 point in 10 minutes meltdown......but we have certainly seen some recent Xavier teams blow late game leads with multiple turnovers in a row
