I guess Providence was looking ahead to Villanova?

Depaul is a good team that can match many teams physically. It is a matter if they can make shots to stay in games. They are doing that today and playing very well. They did beat Xavier away too.

We were in a mid-major conference 5 minutes ago and some act like we should be embarrassed losing to top 25 Big East teams on the road. We didn't immediately pick up where we left off as the lifetakers and heartbreakers we used to be in this conference. Sure, that would have been nice but man this fanbase needs to cowboy up a bit.

“Hey Boneyard - what are you complaining about?”

“Whadda you got?”

My ruling:

PC screen was moving, but there was no call so let it go.

Under the basket - flop warning should be issued to Providence even though he didn't go down.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

That is a terrible technical foul call. The refs are rewarding an acting job by PC.

Edit: PC fumbles it out of bounds. Ball don't lie.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

PC passes to screener on PnR and he gets a dunk. Who would've thunk.

Not everybody's expectations are on the same line
Not pointing at you- some people on the BY need to realize this and if you don't share like views - so be it
BTW - the mid-major conference was not a good place for UConn but UConn never dominated or even came close.
Losing to "top 25" teams (if you can believe rankings) that UConn should beat when playing mediocre is never an acceptable result - that's my take
Thanks

PC plays like a European soccer team with the drama every time they are bumped.

I don't know if Depaul can score enough to hold the lead. PC plays tough defense.

 

[3rdbass]

Depaul still up 3 with a little over 4. Can they win this one? It would be huge.

 

[3rdbass]

Bynum is always flailing out when he takes 3's trying to get a foul shots. That is weak.

 

[gtcam]

Cooley has really turned on his whining technique tonight
Ridiculous - every possession he sees something that I don't and apparently the refs don't either

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Korchler's foot out-of-bounds is another reason why I don't like players setting up on offense in the corners.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Depaul had to run their offense. They have been burning way too much shot clock against a team as good defensively as PC. You get down to 10 seconds left against PC, it will feel like there are 6 defenders.

 

[3rdbass]

Depaul is falling apart. Providence is lucky for sure. I hope Villanova spanks them on Tuesday.

Ya, Depaul was trying not to lose with way too much time left.

Nova is gonna beat them by 30

 

[gtcam]

PC may be in 1st place but they are a beatable team
Take away their guard play and they will wilt

 

[Hurleyman216]

These PC fans at the Dunk act like they’re UNC playing Duke. Should we tell them they’re actually just playing DePaul?

 

[3rdbass]

Wow going to OT. Depaul with a big basket when it looked like they would turn it over.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

For a team that played very smart basketball for 39 minutes and 57 seconds, Providence just finished regulation with an idiotic hero-ball play.

In my opinion if you think we should beat other top 25 teams in this conference on the road even when we play mediocre then you have an over inflated opnion about how good we really are this year. We have one viable guard and lack consistent shooting. We are very competitive for sure but we are gonna lose our share too. We have to play pretty well, not mediocre to beat the Xaviers of the world on the road. That's not a mortal sin. The conference is damn competitive with a lot of parity.

Engaged fans that go crazy for their team is a good thing.

 

[3rdbass]

Depaul can't score in the second half. Why do people always go for a huge dunk when you can just put it away strong? Depaul playing like Depaul in OT.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Durham's layup was ridiculous. Pulled it right out of his butt, but it probably put the game away.
