Bentil is lone bright spot these days. He truly deserves to be the big east player of the year.

When it's a big spot and we have the ball with not much time on the clock, Dunn will over dribble, time and time again.
Lindsey just makes too many mistakes, many unforced for me to like him.
Our 3-8 guys are MAAC level. With that, we are extremely lucky to be 18-7.

There is no balanced attack on this team. The ball is a hot potato, until it ends up in Ben's hands. Ben took 40% of our shot attempts (29 of 72) tonight...and he had to, because no else was looking to assert themselves.
As much as I want Kris to be more assertive on offense, he get's double team every time he has the ball and is looking to do something. Unless a third player can step up as a reliable threat, I'm not going to expect different results from what we're seeing.
It's so frustrating that we have to be so overly-reliant on a sophomore with an ankle injury...and the two overtimes tonight didn't help the healing process any.
So frustrating

Its beginning to look like we don't have the horses. This was a very winnable game. Actually both Marquette games were winnable. If it continues like this it won't get better. PC will be an afterthought with recruits. It won't matter how many games Cooley goes to if we continue this meltdown.

If we only have two guys who can play at this level, it looks like Cooley already was an afterthought with recruits, no?

But this Frosh group is one of worst in the league and next years group is lacking. I still have hope for Bullock. With what we have from a roster standpoint, overall I am happy with being 18-7. Because beyond 1 and 2... We've got very little.

Once we started to play decent teams that had enough tape to adequately game plan against us we have been exposed. To think a few weeks ago we were a 2 seed in some of the projections

...group means more than one... Chukwu wasnt going to play a lot this year.... Group meaning Q, Edwards, Zeke, Council...weak from a league comparison standpoint. Next year I had Jackson and White... Better than this year's, but lacking.

If we only have two guys who can play at this level, it looks like Cooley already was an afterthought with recruits, no? Agreed. We would be better if we weren't an afterthought. The recruits we got last year are end of the bench guys or guys who should probably be on the mid major level. The sad thing is that we are behind in the current class and we will be left spending time scrambling to fill out next years roster while other schools are already working on and signing guys in 2017.

My mistake.....I thought you meant current recruiting class...
You know who had us nailed was kenpom...our numbers have barely changed.
Illinois makes a dunk in November and we're probably out...

Or Bentil doesn't come in when we were getting pounded at the Dunk by Bryant.

Friars are now 18-7.6-6 in the BE.Tied for #6/7 in the League.Only one game ahead of #8 Marquette. Team is 0-3 vs. Marquette and DePaul. Not a pretty picture right now. Imagine if Ben were not playing like he has been. Something ain't right with Dunn.He lost us the game in regulation. Cooley and staff are not getting the job done.Acting like they never saw a 1-3-1 before.
Very disappointing.
