students aren't even worth discussing at this point. fill the seats with real fans and move on. Agree. Do not care about the students. Keep winning and fans will fill the Dunk. Students can stay home and spank it.

IMO, we definitely are well prepped and have a system – something that should be obvious to even the casual fan’s eye. Impressively implemented, that repetition has produced a much better half-court game then earlier in the season and these players have stuck with it producing good looks and consistent play. On this run, the shots have fallen at times/ other times not but look at how they have stayed within that plan and look at what has developed here.
More than once during the course of games all of us have heard the announcers stating , “Providence is only shooting, (say 29%, etc.)”, then you see that the game is close and you sense that despite that stat, we are right there, in it, focused and organized. Sure, we were crushed by NOVA, let one get away vs. the HALL and KY was simply too much for us overall. Still, this team of improbables has exceeded all expectations even with the limited options available – yes, Cotton is beyond amazing but again, having that system in place has brought about much of this success.
Do agree this is even more impressive for Cooley and staff because they have played with what they have on hand and adapted well producing this result.

This Core 6 is extremely well coached right now. They are playing such a deliberate style that when a player makes a bad decision or takes a bad shot, I am surprised and frustrated because it sticks out so much.
Just a great job by the staff and the players. I understand that the wheels could come off when on the road, but it won't take away from what I've seen them do over the past 5 games.

There is one immature, self absorbed fan, these past two games, who insists on blocking the camera with his hand while the Friars are playing at the visitor end of the court. It is not accidental he has deliberately blocked the camera during Friar action and when they are at the free throw line.
Time to have him removed from his seat by security or by Fox1 personnel who must see the hand in camera at as tiring. Better yet, perhaps his father could actually employ some parenting skills to remedy his son's behavior.
