DePaul Post Game Thread

Maybe a weird observation, but that was the clearest vomit I've ever seen.

As Hurley headed back to wherever Demary escaped, it looked like he took a look at the floor where Silas barfed. Like most people, Hurley must have wondered WTF caused the power liquid projectile.

You should just put a perpetual /s under all of your posts. Might help everyone better understand your posts.

So is he just being sarcastic or is he a Debbie Downer? I only saw his post because I was on a different computer and not signed in. I have been blocking his posts for quite a while now apparently. Also, tonight I discovered freescooter is still posting. Freescooter has to be a duke or kentucky or kansas fan. If he ain't then he must be a control in a psych experiment in social media.

Horrible first 10 minutes, but played well after that. I admire Demary for toughing out vomitting on the court and coming back to play. Great game by Karaban.

several women's team have been out...ducharme was vomiting the other night...time to sanitize every surface of werth...

Oh stop. DePaul stinks. Yeah. They improved from embarrassingly pitiful to just really bad. We went on a run in the last 2 minutes to make it look like a better win than it was. Play like this against an average team and it’s an L. This is the second game in a row against an over matched opponent where we were incredibly sloppy in the first 10 minutes. We can get away with it against the Butlers and DePauls of the world but it really needs to be corrected. Bad habit to get into.

My lord, what’s gonna happen when we match up against some Top 20 KenPom competition? Guess we’ll just have to fret and wait and hope for the best…

Agree. I would be shocked if we did not move up. If it were any other team, it would be a lock. With anti-UConn and pro-Duke bias though there’s a chance.
Expand ...
I don't think the pro-Duke bias is what it once was, nor the disrespect for UConn (consecutive nattys will do that). There will absolutely be some writers that keep Duke over us, but I think most will put us ahead.

Our offense is struggling. Our defense is carrying us. #4 defense in Kenpom and 23rd offense.
Expand ...
Really not too much to fret about…the difference between 23rd and Top 10 offense is literally scoring 3.5 more pts per 100 possessions. That’s being more efficient and making a shot or FTs on a couple possessions a game.

We’re gonna get there, I have no doubts

Well be 4. Mark it down. I can see Purdue moving to 5, having throttled TT. Duke 6.

Have seen Millender play little or none. Small sample looks interesting. What are his drawbacks that you have seen in game situations? Obviously the staff would play him if warranted. Just curious as to what our more knowledgeable fans have to say.

That you're trying to replace a PG with a 3.9 assist to turnover ratio. Malachi Smith has been unbelievable this season

Nah, just curious. I want to see Millender play. Has nothing to do with Malachi, he just happens to be between Millender and the floor.
 
Glad Silas is ok, apt metaphor/analogy for the first half. Stepped up big in the second half.

Happy with 12-1 at the Christmas break.. Glad to see no lingering effects for AK re: his "head bump" incident of a couple games ago . Team is in reasonably good health heading into some down time. Looks like Tarris is starting to get his mojo back.
 
Hurley has to be going nuts watching this team turn the ball over at the rate they do. They are a tough bunch for sure but man oh man do they turn it over. Karaban continues to be the glue that keeps them together and Reed is a monster. We did see for sure how much we need Ball on the floor moving forward. Mullins is going to be outstanding for us next year when he becomes the go to guy. The talent is certainly there for this team to compete for another title but they have lots to work on gong forward. They all play hard and make the most of the minutes that they get.

You think AP voters are watching how we won? They’ll see we covered and Duke lost. We’re moving up.

Agree. This game was on TV late on a Sunday afternoon opposite huge NFL games in December. There's no way the majority of those guys saw it live. They'll just look at the score, maybe check stats and watch a couple highlights.

Was there in person. Typically called big East game with fouls sort of even. DePaul guards were bumping and pulling Silas and Mal. Mullins getting bumped off his routes. Alex was able to fight through that for the most part.
2nd half running higher actions opened the back door.
Late when Mullins was able to get a half step on his defender he made some shots.
He fouled but mostly stayed in front of his man and switched well.

I'm seeing a continuing theme with the slo-mo replays. I really liked the replay of Bennett's and one rebound / put back, where he literally climbed over Mullins and smashed him in the head with his elbow - no call. Hilarious

Pickle Juice ? Doesn't sound good to me.

Supposed to be a thing. I remember a game the Eagles won at Dallas back when Andy Reid was the coach. In the heat, they all drank pickle juice to keep from cramping.

Used to eat salt and vinegar potato chips before triathlons for the same reason. Pickle juice has the added advantage of hydration

Why Athletes Turn to Pickle Juice During Competition
It's not clear why pickle juice relieves cramps. Like traditional sports drinks, it contains high concentrations of sodium, which athletes lose when they sweat, and potassium, an electrolyte. But studies have suggested pickle juice actually provokes a neurological reflex that prevents muscles from cramping. "There are a lot of athletes that swear by it—they don't care exactly how it's working," says U.S. Olympic Committee senior sport dietician Alicia Glass. "As evidence-based practitioners, we would like to know exactly what it is before we start recommending it."

Tiafoe isn't the only athlete quaffing pickle juice during competition. New Jersey Devils winger Blake Coleman started drinking it at Miami (Ohio), and he's continued guzzling it in the NHL. He readies two eight-ounce bottles of P20 pickle juice—his own signature line—before every game. "Gatorades, electrolyte packets—I've tried it all," he says. "Pickle juice is the one thing that allows me to not cramp through an entire game..."

Also adds zing to deviled egg filling.
 
The only thing i found disappointing, vesides the turnocers, is that Elezaj had a better statine in one minute than Reibe in 12. Was Eric sick?

How is Mullins going to do that when he will be playing in the NBA? He is a one and done player. Do not let a couple rough games fool you.

I enjoyed that 3 pointer from the corner. Haven't seen a rainbow arc like that since Clay Johnson. He's getting pushed around a little (welcome to Big East officiating) but he will be fine. I wish he could stay for another year (without being hurt). He does need to get stronger. Scouts will not lose him if he is available though. He's got DNA.
