We've had a great season by any measure but after 20 games we're pretty heavily scouted in-conference not to mention a calendar-circled game for every opponent. And, we're missing a key piece in Stewie, who has something we could use out there - mental toughness. We've been playing up and down...

Randy goes to men's games with his wife, sitting near me. A great guy. I played some fast pitch softball with him after his baseball career ended. When our team manager told me he had recruited a pretty good player and I saw who it was, I freaked. What a thrill to play alongside him.

The term 'rivalry' conjures up deep emotional ties and I'd imagine none of the teams folks have listed would list us as their biggest rival. We were too late to the championship party in the OBE to matter to the early domineers. Being a non-Catholic didn't help. The only true 'biggest' rival...

Well, sure and StJ but hyperbole makes the point. We've taken a lot of punches and are looking down at the mat at the losers again and again (there I go again!)

All season a target on our backs, All season it has resulted in opponents' best games. We win 'em all. We're ready for tournament time. (TGFA)

Defense was a thing of beauty, especially Reed. He handled the keyhole hedge work better than even Samson Johnson as a senior. On his toes and seeing things before they developed. The whole team was on its toes for this one. Bouncing around, switching on time, covering the back end. It was...

You couldn't be more wrong.

This much is true. Are they handing money to kids with the expectation (requirement?) of more than one year? Or, does continuous outlay for a single year/single player fit into their wallets? With zero regulation, I can imagine there are a multitude of 'arrangements' out there.

Tired old argument with no new opinions. I laugh when I hear folks saying that unless you stand and scream all game you're a less-worthy fan. Short-sighted youth, as ever. Still, I appreciate them standing and screaming - they're students and should defend their team till they're worn out and...

Ross deserves more minutes and he's getting them. Starting? I don't think so, yet. While his offensive contributions have been uplifting, he's nowhere near the level of a big-time shotmaker/scorer like Ball. We are not advancing past week 2 with Solo playing the microwave role. Stewie is...

They went by us with ease and no one besides Reed to stop them at the hoop. I'll give Alex a pass if he's been slowed by a kneed thigh, something else or even that scary fall he took last night. That said, without a second protector down low, we'll be seeing a lot more drive and foul situations.

I saw the same guy yelling "Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk" to a Kansas fan and "Boomer Sooner" to an Oklahoma fan.

When we were hungrier, every Big East game was loud. The big ones were thunderous. Today's fans in attendance might not like Hurley whooping up the dead heads in the middle of the first half but he's right and we're spoiled - expecting the win to happen. Not that the general fan is...

By now we've seen the best and worst of Silas Demary Jr. Give him a path with his right and he'll deliver a beat-down. Open 3s: money. Find the open man, delivered. In your shirt D, check. Laterally, he can get beat quicksters. Late game FT line problems are concerning. Coaches will help him...
