PC’s “talent”

Hard to say Cooley's coaching is solely at fault even though he may have been overrated the past few years.
My take is he recruited guys with the wrong attitude, mainly Duke.
So far, Dan Hurley has not brought any cancers onto the current roster and next year's recruits and Floyd all act and sound like guys committed to team play and winning more so than having their hair done right for television.

Learn to read. They had the two best players on the court that day. You can go back and read the thread if you like. I didn't really say anything in that thread that I regret, though I expected the rest of their season to go better than it did.

They had the 2 best guys on the court last night, too. Duke and Watson both 2nd team All-Big East.

Prov record against teams without a 1st or 2nd BE team player:
5-4

That includes 3 games against Depaul and the game against us without Bouk.

Moore and Freeman-Liberty were the two best players on the court yesterday by any statistical measure.
 
Providence 35% from the field, 52% from the FT line, 27% beyond the 3.

Noah and a massive ark load of praying Friars couldn't have saved PC from the hail stones clanging off of their rims.

In the last thread I ranked the players specifically for the full season to that point and then we started talking about having the 2 best players and it was not in the context of that day only.

What did you mean by "Having their hair done right for television", was this suggested by TV commentators, players, coaches?

Wait, you're saying TV friendly hair is one of Cooley's priorities? Really? Huh.
 
I like how PC fans have been calling UConn 'Nouveau Riche' as an insult for about 25 years. Yet as soon as they won a few games and got a few 1st round tournament exits in a row they became 'Kings of New England', during which time UConn actually won a title. But UConn fans are the delusional ones...
 
Gantt was basically invisible this year. Whether that was a no PG/Duke+ Watson problem, I don't know. But one of the least impactful players in the Big East. He played half their total minutes and scored 100 points total. 25% less points per minute than Jalen Gaffney.

I have a feeling it won’t be their last transfer after the underperformance this year. It’s hard to keep talent now regardless, and it was a pretty rough year for them so I am guessing there’s at least one more person who will leave. No source, just my own speculation.

From the little I was reading on the Providence board after the DePaul game I think the expected this. Seemed like they felt he was being played out of position and that wasn't going to change with Horchler still playing the 4 and Watson coming back next year for the extra year
 
Got to imagine pitt on the transfer market this off-season will be like bryant on the recruiting trail...everyone gets an offer!
