Kevin Willard said on radio he’s going to get the rotation down to about 6 because some guys have a ‘bad attitude’

Kevin Willard w/ some shots fired at his team on AM 970.

"We have some guys w/ bad attitudes right now to be perfectly honest. When you have a bad attitude and you’re pouting about not playing… I’m going with six guys [rotation] right now"

Quote is just the tip of the iceberg

2. SETON HALL, TOO
Everything that I just said about Louisville is also true about Seton Hall, who followed up a loss where they gave up 87 points to Creighton with a loss at Providence where they trailed by 25 points in the first half.
The good news for the Pirates is that they are still leading the Big East title race, and while the rest of their schedule is brutal — they have to play at Marquette and Creighton and still host Butler and Villanova — the Pirates have already won at Butler and at Villanova and beat Marquette at home.
Their issue, according to Kevin Willard, has everything to do with attitude.
“We have some guys with bad attitudes right now to be perfectly honest with you,” Willard said in his postgame radio interview after the Providence loss. “When you have a bad attitude and you’re pouting and complaining that you’re not playing enough time yet your team is 10-2, you have issues.
“It’s amazing to me that, when we lost to Xavier I saw a team that bounced back and was hungry to go to Georgetown and get it. When we lost to Creighton the other day and we played terrible (in practice), and I’m sitting in practice and I’m thinking, I’ve got a guy moody that doesn’t want to go through practice who hardly played. I have another guy who played 25 minutes that can’t make a shot and didn’ have a rebound. I have another guy that got embarrassed defensively.
“I will make sure of it, come in 20 minutes that there will be a very large correction . . . The bench is going to get shortened. Either you’re going to show up and play or you’re not. I’m really disappointed in a few guys who, either they regain their focus or I’ll just play six.”
Willard did not name the grumpy-gus, but it’s worth noting: Myles Cale was a starter last year and played just seven minutes against Providence. Ike Obiagu played just five. Anthony Nelson played just two. Draw your own conclusions.

They started a game on the wrong side of something like a 30-5 run for the second time in as many weeks. Kevin's gotta say something to light a fire under his guys.

That, unfortunately, sounds an awful lot like our locker room at the end of last season. I hope Hall does a better job of pulling together than we did.

The good news for those chasing SH is I don't think more than a couple BE coaches are going to get out coached by Willard.

It can be tough to manage a 10 player rotation. I thought Willard was doing an admirable job at it, though. Jay has said an 8 man rotation is ideal, although tbf Nova plays at much slower tempo than Seton Hall.

Piss poor timing for an implosion? Leading the best conference in the land, comfortably. Poss. PoY candidate.
...and entering the toughest portion of their schedule. What gives? Can't handle success?

What gives is they know that the Creighton Bluejays are starting to heat up and they are shaking in their boots right now. That is a lot of pressure to handle. Hoping they don't completely implode.

Dauster gives the "kiss of death" to Louisville and the Hall.

MONDAY’S OVERREACTIONS

1. LOUISVILLE IS GOING TO BE JUST FINE
2. SETON HALL, TOO

With that, both will continue tanking.

Ah, but Mike Francesa said Seton Hall's falling apart. That pretty much guarantees a national championship.
