Duke has done NOTHING

Duke always looks arrogant and entitled..................or is he just disappointed in himself?
Naaaaaah. just a highly rated kid that doesn't deliver.

Ed Cooley has done a remarkably poor job with this team. They have top 25 talent. So PC loses both Duke and Watson. They’re going to be horrible next year.

He's not even getting in the door with recruits now either, PC basketball is farked.
 
Like Seton Hall, Providence was crumbling. That Nova game was telling. They should of won easy. Squeaked out a win. Duke should of lit up Nova without the Nova guards. He didn't. Actually deferred late.

I expect the 2 coaches Cooley and Willard who were so against UConn joining the BIg East to see their programs take a step back and Georgetown and St. John's to take a step up.

Did Duke say he was leaving? Isn’t he only a junior?

Did Cooley just walk out before the game was over?

For all the comments that have been posted about what a class act and good guy he is, it's pretty poor to not congratulate the winning coach.
Maybe he just couldn't stomach looking at his own players any longer.
 
When was the last time a BET had zero quarterfinal matches featuring two NCAAT teams?

He’s projected to be a 1st round pick. He’s definitely out of there.

I think the problem is that people overrate the talent. Watson is good. But everyone else?

The real problem is no PG. Bynum was mediocre and then got hurt and wasn't good when he came back. Freshman Breed is okay on D but can't run a team. Equals nobody to get Watson the ball.

Duke was forced to play PG, and that's definitely not his position. He's strong but he's not a good 1v1 player or finisher or playmaker for others.

Reeves is a shooter who can't shoot. Horchler is okay, but got exposed on perimeter switches on D this game. Nobody on their bench can even get you 5 points.

Where? I thought he was projected as a late 2nd rounder?

Vecenie said recently that Duke is a polarizing prospect. Has heard late 1st from a couple teams but the vast majority have him late 2nd to undrafted.

The PC board must be fun tonight.

Pretty confident we can handle DePaul tomorrow. At least we should barring a total crapshow.

Wait, PC has a board?? I never would have guessed given how much time their fans seem to spend on ours.
 
I think people are overreacting to a handful of games tonight. Xavier is not in the dance in part because they only played 20 games. If they were 17-7 right now, they would likely be a 9 seed. Steele does strike me as the kind of coach that will keep being unlucky.

PC had a down year.

Woj needs to go.

But what if they were 13-11???

Sounds like you're talking about yourself, you said both Woj and Steele need to be fired.

I don't think it is the end of times for PC, for example.

Steele is one of those situations where they can wait for the coach to run the program into the ground, which Steele will, or they can make a move now. Xavier is not a terrible team, but Steele is not a winner and therefore Xavier will not be a winner under Steele.

I think I am going against the grain on Woj. Everyone here loves him because of recruiting rankings. He has had great recruiting rankings since he got to Marquette. 2 NCAA Tournament appearances.
 
@7774 On the BE tournament, Hurley was quoted today: “With recruits, we always stress, and it’s 100 percent true, that it’s the best conference tournament in the country. The excitement, the venue, the energy in the building, the BE tournament is the best and I don’t think it’s debatable...Its a big recruiting tool...”

I will never let you live this down. It’s just too funny. Enjoy the game tonight!

Xavier is not in the dance because they lost 7of their last 10 and 3 straight to the bottom dwellers in the league. They don’t pass the eye test. And they aren’t 17-7 and if they played their full league season, I’m not sure they get close. They missed a game with UConn and didn’t play Villanova at all. And they only played Seton Hall once and lost. So they could just as easily been 13-12 as 17-7. I didn’t think Xavier was a tournament team back in early February and never got why all the bracket guys gave them so much love and had them in Even while they were self-destructing. Wasn’t at all surprised they lost to Butler, only that it was that close. But I suppose when you are in the legacy league you get the benefit of the doubt until there is no question.
