March Other Big East Games

It is great coaching. If they don’t call it, then it’s not a foul. It’s the same in every sport. If the ump gives pitchers the outside corner, he’d be crazy not to take it. If he’s not giving it, then the pitcher has to adjust to that ump’s strike zone. Basketball is the same way. Players have to adjust to what the refs are allowing or not allowing on any given day. And coaches are supposed to help their players make those in-game adjustments. Complaining that the refs Don’t know what they’re doing is unproductive and is a waste of time. It would be like a football coach complaining about bad weather. Just play the game.

Good luck to your team (PC) in the tournament where bumps will be called for the fouls they are

I don't think it's a conspiracy. I think it's the style they play and the way Big East games are called. That being said, it means that ultimately they're not as good a team on the road or on a neutral court. I wouldn't expect Providence to make a deep run in the NCAAs like I believe the other top teams in the conference could (It wouldn't shock me if any of Marquette, Xavier, Creighton, UConn made the Elite 8).

Seton Hall up 19 at the half with no Kadary Richmond at Providence. Providence has missed three 1 and 1's and Hall is torching their defense shooting around 70% from the floor.

This could really shake things up if Hall finishes this off.
 
Friars will make a run - just a question if they come all the way back or if the hole they dug is much too deep.

I think it was Femi that banked in a 3, otherwise not much has even been a lucky shot. Seton Hall is just outworking and outhustling Providence right now. Providence doesn't look like they want to play other than Bynum, who is getting HUNTED on defense

Hall is mucking the game up. That's the only area of the game where they will always be better than their opponents, and it's working so far. I expect Providence to make a strong 2nd half comeback, but it sure would be funny if they didn't :)

Can providence drop to the 4/5 seed game with a loss and Creighton or UConn win?

With a loss Providence drops to the 4 unless Creighton also loses. If UConn wins they drop to the 5

Seton Hall was up 24, now down to 13. Samuel has 4 fouls, Ndefo and Odukale have 3 fouls.

Shaheen is animated on the sidelines.

Well, this makes things a little more interesting today.

Providence is missing their 3s today, but Hall is doing a good job of cutting off driving lanes so Providence can't attack the paint and draw fouls like they usually do.
 
Hall up 20 with 7 minutes left. Hall has played really well but a dreadful performance/loss for Providence.

Exactly and they really paid attention to the scouting report. Locke has been locked down. Cooley is furious with Hopkins- he has sat him on the bench due to poor defense
