Week of 12/18 Other Games

Insufferable, the definition.
I can’t imagine what this board would be like if you actually had something to whine about. You are 10-1 after a national championship and you continue to bitch about refs in a game from year ago. A study should be done about the thin skinned narcissist behavior that inhabits this region of the country. , STFU already, you whining sniveling fool. You are the best team in the country, and yet you whine like the worst fans. I hate fans who bitch and moan constantly about refs. So should you, if you had an ounce of dignity.

It was actually 35-19, so a bit of an exaggeration but the disparity was so egregious how could anyone just forget, it has nothing to do with dignity just common sense that something was off.

Wow, you’ve been wronged. You can’t make this up, an entire fan base is this way. Incredible… I will repeat this, you are the reigning and 5 time National Champion. From what I can tell you have the best team again this year. Please stop whining like a little girls. Seriously stop.

I honestly think it isn't just the foul disparity but a lot of your fellow fans decided it was a good time to come on over here after and in person to gloat. It was annoying at the time and that kind of sticks. Personally, I could care less about last year's game but you are damn right I don't want to see a repeat this year. You all can get your jolly's by beating on your fellow Catholic schools at the Dunk.

If only there were somewhere online for UConn fans to go to complain about things like foul disparities, no matter how irrational…..

Appreciate the reminders on how good the good guys are this year and always love your takes on Providence but it’s a little rich telling fans on their own message board to stop complaining about anything

And yet here you are. Celebrating with us here on the Yard, Friar. Not on Friar Talk, but here with the narcissists. The insufferable. The sniveling whiners. You're beginning to turn spoiled and arrogant

Providence got some AP votes this week. If they beat Butler this weekend, not unrealistic to expect them to be ranked next week!

That being said, this is why people sound so silly when they struggle to find losses on the schedule. Road league games are tough.

We came a few inches from beating Bill Self’s Kansas team in Lawrence without Castle, with Spencer playing on a rolled ankle, and Karaban playing with a dislocated finger. Its not silly to think we can go to Providence and win.

I’m 4 hours behind you currently, but you are correct, imagine doing it at anytime. Little too much celebration nog. And yes, I’m up early today, going fishing.

tight lines Friar. The team looked good last night. My gripes are more with a certain fella in DC and his schtick than it is with PC

Thanks. Interesting stat last night. Dual +25, no points.
 
Great win for PC. Congratulations to them and Kim English. Nothing like starting with an upset victory.

The broadcast team did a bad job of finding and showing it on replay (but also the refs missed it live and had to check on monitor to confirm it).

Still doesn’t seem like a flagrant. Slight contact due to the screen that was set. Just a really inexcusable possession from the refs. Didn’t change the outcome but a bad look.
 
Well, ,they did beat 'em, 72-57. And it was never close. And both the margin and the point totals were essentially the same as in the Friar's previous two wins over Brown and Sacred Heart. Let that sink in for a minute.

So how did they do it?

They didn't do it with an especially hot night from the 3-pt line (11 for 32, 34.4.%)
They sure didn't do it from the FT line (17 for 28).
They didn't do it with an especially tight handle (14 turnovers).
They didn't do it with a big rebounding advantage (38 to 35).
And they didn't do it with a big night from their star, Hopkins (11 vs 17 pt average).

Two numbers stand out: 17 assists on 22 field goals for the Friars; 7 assists on 18 FGs for Marquette. This resulted in overall 43.1% shooting for Providence, 32.1% for Marquette. It appears that Providence ran its offensive sets effectively and was able, defensively, to consistently break down Marquette's patterns. Chalk one up for Kim English over Shaka Smart. A kinder conclusion from Marquette's POV is that it was just one of those nights on the road where nothing whatever goes in the basket (They made 4 for 20 3-pointers). It's also true that the game was the usual foul fest you get at Providence (22 on Marquette, 18 on Providence) that destroys the rhythm of the game.

Another caution that strange things can happen on the road.

I missed the part where I said anything about not being able to win at Providence.
