He was unbelievably good the 2 games before that. He would not let his team lose. I cannot criticize him for the last game. Kansas face guarded him and set up their defense to stop him. He had a great tournament and should not be criticized.
Yeah and I agree with this because again I put a lot of onus on the coach to recognize what's happening and help his kids to help themselves. I don't think I've seen more forced shot attempts in a college game than Love last night - at one point he was trying so hard (not a bad thing) he was just throwing himself at the hoop and shooting any low percentage 3 he could get off - it was hard to watch even as a completely neutral fan. This is where the old "stay aggressive/have a short memory" cliché simply falls flat - this mindset has a lot of nuances that only come with age and experience.
