The "free throws are gonna kill us" guys are always ready for their close-up. They were poised to strike in '23 and '24 with their relentless regular season bleating. They had their "I told you so's" all cued up but had to suffer alone when UConn won. But as you recognize, they're back. You know who had top FT shooting teams? Dom Perno.
I’m sorry but I just have to respond to this as I keep seeing it on here. Powell has been hurt and missed most of the BE season so far. He has not played well or a lot since returning. Last year he was the best player in the 2nd half of the year at Georgia Tech playing in the ACC. He averaged over 12 points a game for the year and made 53 3 pointers at a 36% clip.
I asked the same question in the chat because I served time in Catholic school and it looked like someone gave his tie a good yank before he went on the air. But apparently it was a Trinity Knot which I hadn’t ever heard of before although I’m not really hip to tie tying game.
Great. Should we go to the Friars board and correct all their questionable takes on our team next?
Phew, was worried we wouldn't get any Michigan talk in this thread
You're getting creepy.
What do you think Providence will do at the end of the season? This current team has a ton of talent and the guys you really want coming back have plenty of eligibility. Have you heard anything about if they will fire English or keep him and run it back with the studs, Derkack, and guys you will go after in the portal? Kim English is a hell of a recruiter but he's yet to show in game coaching chops.
You heard everything Hurley said?
I was pretty impressed with this PC team. If they could roll back Mela, Vaaks, Oswin & Jones (all underclassmen), that is a really good nucleus. Go find a good PG and you have easily a top 25 team. Key will be retention.
TBH. Based on the replay shown on TV. Was surprised that a T was called at all. Looked like Dan Hurley was just having a back and forth conversation that looked composed. Your comments suggest the same.
I didn't say it was what you said. I asked the question because you said you were there and there was nothing in the interaction that you thought was inappropriate.That's not what I said.
It wasn't even clear at the time that a T was called. I heard a whistle but honestly thought it was either inadvertent or something else was going on that I didn't notice.
The problem is they clearly have top 25 talent this season and they're still 8-7.
That's why I asked. Need to know what was said.
I didn't recall that we was not a starter. That's even more amazing. He had 16 assists off the bench? I recall he had some academic issues, stole some laptops, etc. I feel like he left before we found out how good he could have been. Then again, he did not work out with the Nets who drafted him. I guess he was a defensive liability, but boy could he dish dimes.
Best players are very young. Catch 22 here is that if English is booted, they all portal. Maybe they can treat it like football and bring in a new defensive coordinator?
My guess is they'll keep him because Jamier Jones, Vaaks, Oswin, Mela (plus Jaylen Harrell, Aiden Derkack) are so young and they don't want to lose them. English simply has to get a lot better as a coach though.
Sounds right. If you're going to move off English with that roster, you have to make sure whoever that next guy is is truly a one step back, 2 steps foward guy.
