There were complaints about it in the chat and we were saying worse things than booing. Look the rules changed these are no longer student athletes. They are making more money than 98% of people who work for a living. With that comes more responsibility. I love Dan Hurley and would never want anyone else to coach our team. I mean he lit them up at halftime. The Assistant coaches lit them up at halftime and we are worried about the fans booing. This all changed with NIL and some of us are supporting that more than the usual annual donations that were being made to the university. Fans have right to boo when a team goes out and shows no emotion and looks like it’s going through the motions against a very bad team. We played OK in the second half and erased a 8 point deficit and won by 11. Yeah we stunk enough in the first half to get booed. Even Hurley did not go over the top on it, my guess is he is going to use it as a psychological carrot with the team. But we really need to stop thinking as these guys as student athletes. I have not looked but one of the DePaul players a senior looked like he had gray hair on his head D’Amico a senior. This is not the same game as it was in the 80’s and 90’s. Back then they were still getting paid but it was not official and most of our players in the 80’s were not good enough to get paid anyway. [/QUOTE]
