Providence Post Game Thread

Gotta be honest, I found him annoying as a player and disliked him from moment one as a broadcaster. While he was obviously a good player, the Sheffer to Marshall outlet was tremendous; he was also incredibly annoying to root for, imo. Deep in the recesses of my mind, he's still pump-faking at the three-point line before trying to drive into three people. You know how you have those players who you only like if they are on your team? Like, if Cam was on Creighton, we would've hated him. I feel like Donny is that guy who other teams obviously disliked, but that our own fanbase was also annoyed by his whole "thing."
I met him in person after at an after party for one of your Championships and he is annoying as he seems at times on tv. So full of himself. I love UConn but not a huge Donny fan. Well at least he acknowledged me. Ray Allen didn't who I already knew was not the nicest guy in the world from being on Campus when he was there.
 
I am questioning the validity of this post, to say the least.

Related, is that all that has to be done? A blue checkmark just has to say something far-fetched (yet with merely a hint of plausibility) to trigger an avalanche of monetized responses and watch the coinage roll in?

That is not a real reporter, it's a troll account

I don't have a problem with what Hurley said but I prefer the softer side of him...

I’ve met him numerous times with his kids, he a nice guy
 
I always liked Donny as a player. He sometimes talks too much as an announcer but I’ll give him some rope on that. His court comment seemed to be in reverse but I understood what he was conveying. He also used the word intentionality which I had never heard before. But his usage was correct so that one was on me.

Supporting Nardi is not an issue for me. If he is good enough for Hurley then he’s good enough for me. I did notice that he seemed to be a calming influence on Dan when Dan was reacting to a controversial call.
Nardi appears to getting more vocally involved as the season goes on
 
That is our 3rd or 4th overtime loss and we lead the country in 1 possession losses, and last night wasn’t even one. That’s coaching. It’s a shame too as the guy really can recruit. We are in the final 4 for Caleb Holt even with our terrible record.
He can def recruit but that matters less now than ever. You either have money or you don’t and you guys do. I think the next coach will be able to get the same caliber players KE has been able to get.

I didn’t realize that UConn gave doctorates in being wrong. Did they make the program just for you? He had 2 all freshman members last year and will have 2 this year. The talent is much better than the record. To argue that is silly, but it’s you so…
Someone sure is used to posting on reddit. Geez that level of sarcasm is barfight territory.
 
You throw a little hissy fit, disappear and then come back over after a loss expecting a red carpet or cordial greeting?

How about you take whatever comments we give you and the gag job loss you just had and live with it over on your weird little Scout board?
I’m not expecting anything, just challenging freescooters knowledge on PC and the BE. It’s limited so it doesn’t take much effort. Stay out of this one Flounder.

Every post from this guy is crapping on the BE and the level of talent in the BE and in this case PC in particular. I’ve challenged him before with actual facts as have many others, and he has nothing. It’s all emotion and never any facts with him. The definition of a nitwit.

nitwit or adolescent.

Either way PC’s Big East history is NIT/NCAA almost 50/50. 2 final fours ever.

At least Cooley is long gone!

I had watched PC earlier in the year and had no clue what they were trying to do on offense. Couldn't really get a sense of it in this game as well. They just like to run and utilize their athleticsm in one on one stuations and hope they make shots, It sure worked against us. They are very athletic. Seems to me a little inside game, better defense and more discipline on offense would go a long way. Yes, better coaching would really help. I am not a Friar hater and would like to see you guys do some damage - just not against us.

I refuse to go over to the PC board(I only troll Rutgers). I am curious though what kind of stuff this Friar J clown posts on his own site.

😂 Eh, you’ll only be around until your panties get in a bunch again and you take another vacation from here. P.S. Your program is still our little bittch.
 
This game was interesting because we didn't run full set most of the time to get looks, we played at a much faster pace today. This is really helpful in getting shooters hot, but also played into PC's hands a bit as they also found a flow. Not sure where the right balance is, but one of the things that I always feels separates us is the ability to run the shot clock and execute a full set. This tends to mentally slog the opposition.
That's true but increasing numbers are playing us very tight and aggressive to keep us out of our offensive rhythm which is predicated on them running through a zillion screens and wearing them out. They are deciding to not play that game so we will run them down with transition, superior conditioning and a deep bench. The former coach at PC Ed Cooley referred to this as "mucking it up" (disrupting our rhythm). If you have the players you can do this. It also runs our three point shooters off the line and forces them to drive to the hoop which we are not very good at. We also work the ball into the centers and let them have it.

Friar J. back from the dead, or at least back from self imposed exile. In your opinion, would you say Hurley is the best coach in college basketball? Would you say UConn is the best team in college basketball?
