Let's see what happens tonight at Marquette to see how UCONN comes in on Saturday.

We really can’t mend fences with the other board and get you guys over there? peeps, my man! Wow, blast from the past. Always loved your posts, as I recall anyway. I was banned for correcting the emperor a few too many times. I'm rather proud of that! Haha.

Moving forward we need to play the starters the whole game (with Barron for Floyd) and only use the bench to give guys rest around the media timeouts. Garwey looked a little better this game, but I’m still more comfortable with Pierre Agree, but these guys are gassed. Are we the only team around that runs on fumes? Sure seems that why.

It’s amazing how banged up the entire team is: Oduro has been wearing a heating pack virtually year Gaines is playing with a broken nose and who knows how many other facial injuries Carter now has an injured thumb to go with a bad hip and again who knows what else Floyd has a bad back per his uncle and was clearly laboring Barron didn’t start because of some leg injury Pierre just got over the flu and has had other leg / ankle injuries And last but not least, Hopkins I think only Slim and Garwey are not injured at the moment. Put in this context, it’s impressive the team is so close to being in the big dance. They’ve definitely had frustrating moments, but they fight like hell and are always putting forth a great effort. UConn is obviously a better team, but man would it be great if this team had it all come together on Saturday night. All this and yet some actually think our coach is one of the worse in the league. Amazing job by English this year.

The options are Pierre, Garwey, and Floyd There was a possession last night where Garwey dribbled for 26 of the 30 seconds. He can’t get us into offense. Who knows what’s going on with Floyd

1. English has done a fine job (not sure where FFI hears these 'worst coach' attacks, I sure don't hear them.) 2. Lack of a legit BE level PG has hurt this team as much as the loss of Hop, hard as that may be to comprehend. 3. Floyd and Garwey are total mystery's. Neither are upper division BE players and that's hard to process. The parts lie. The sum tells the truth. 4. Castro would be a <10-minute bench player at lower D1 schools, never mind the BE. 5. Carter and Oduro are the best 1-2 combo at PC since _______?

Yes, Kim English is the 10th best coach in the Big East and if DePaul actually gets Moser, he’s 11th for next season. I don’t see an argument against it when we are comparing him to guys like Holloway and Cooley, it’s not close

How does one say someone is the 'worst' coach?
Too subjective a judgement.
If we want to look right now at metrics Kim is the 6th 'best' coach in the league.....

I don’t see an argument against it when we are comparing him to guys like Holloway and Cooley, it’s not close That's quite a strong opinion. I don't think you'll find a lot of people lining up to agree with you, but you're certainly entitled to your opinion. Tyler Owens at the NFL combine said "I don't believe in space," Owens said Thursday. "I don't think there's, like, other planets and stuff like that." Not a lot of people lining up behind him either.
