Tells me the whole team traded their passion for glory. They had everyone back from a tourney team and forgot they still had to work hard. They need to get in film room and all watch Rocky 3. They need to get the eye of the tiger back!!

The disappointment by fans at the Dunk was for 17 turnovers and 13 "steels" by DePaul.
Missing shots is one thing but the noise was more incredulity about balls thrown into impossible places, trips with no shot, and just poor passing.
There was no chorus of boos.
First time in my life I ever left a sporting event early ....went to a bar

How many games this season has PC had the best player on the floor??? So many teams with at least 1 if not 2 better players than what PC has to put out there. And what happened to this being EC’s deepest team since being here? ....gotta love friartown... You are onto something here. At the game yesterday, several of us were saying the same thing———PC’s talent is not up to par with that of others in the BE. Kudos to Cooley and Company to coaching them up yo Tourney bids and contention this year. Every BE team has at least one or two guys better than what the Friars can put out there. Sad but true. Seems like even though highly ranked we are getting guys with major flaws. Either guys can't shoot, can't handle, or can't defend. I would expect top 100 guys to come in a little more prepared/ready. For some reason our top 100's resemble projects instead of instant contributors and I have no idea why but maybe that's the reason these players keep falling to us while tthe real good ones Graham/Mitchell we lose out on. |

Just my opinion. While I can buy into Ed's passion for "multi-positional players", there is a risk that such an approach to roster building might result in a lot of long bodies who do a number of things well, but few things extremely well. Kind of like the trick or treat you get with "combo guards"...they can be the glue type players who complement the pure Point Guards, Rebounders and Scorers. From my perspective, we need about 60% of our roster to be "pure positional players", and can subsequently surround them with the "multi-positional" types. |

I don’t know what a “chorus” of Boos really is but there is no doubt that a hugely audible round of Boos ensued after a DePaul score and an immediate Cooley timeout as the boys were walking to the bench.
It’s not even debatable. It was rather expeditiously truncated by that friggin loud obnoxious despicable Harry coming to the rescue to mask the display. Anyone remember when the PA system used to be raised in volume when TW was announced before a game to mask the Boos? That’s what Harry did with his super-human vocal chords amplified by a PA volume from hell.
