Big guys hit big shots. Calathes is killing us, and we can't even keep track of him.
This is a terrible performance for X so far, with no sign of changing.

I really like Calathes' game. With his size he can go inside, but he's also a threat from the outside...just a match-up headache. Plus the rest of the starters are all good so it makes him even better. You can't forget about anybody on that team or you're in trouble.

So much for our "team" concept being greater than the individual stars on other teams, at least tonight.
We got the result we deserved tonight. This is what happens when you play lethargic basketball, shoot for crap, turn it over, and forget to find the shooters.
This is not a good tuneup for the NCAA.

It was Dunston who I thought could be replaced on the First Team All-A-10 squad. There's a guy who was as up and down as a trip through the Cincinnati suburbs. Obviously, with a team with as much experience returning as Fordham had coming into this season, there was no excuse for their poor showing throughout the entire season.
Calathes was never an issue from my perspective!

I thought there were five guys picked for the 1st team. I am like nick, Calathes, was not the weak link. I think some should read Stan's statement because he doesn't say that the 1 st is all bogus. He said Brown could be in place of Duntson...explain where that sounds completely wrong.
let's look at the selection A two time player of the Week selection, Forbes, Christmas, Pat Calathes, Will Daniels and Brian Roberts .
The second-team consists of Duncan and teammate Drew Lavender, Fordham's Bryant Dunston, Darnell Harris of La Salle and Temple's Mark Tyndale.
The third-team includes Burrell, Dan Geriot of Richmond, Charlotte's Leemire Goldwire, Kevin Lisch of Saint Louis and Saint Joseph's Ahmad Nivins.
You can not tell me there are some players in this league that could not replaced 2nd and 3rd team players and maybe one or two of the 1st team.
