Bad call on Jones. Guy was in air

[X-lucidity]

Going to go out on limb and predict Kunkel has a nice big scoring game for us. ( someone has to step up and give us pts off bench)

[skyhops]

Kunkel and Carter are not Big East players especially on defense. Coming out flat again and no direction on offense. There is no reason for Freemantle to take threes when no one is under. No identity on offense. Say goodbye to to tourney.

One shot and done. Steele still clueless with subs.

Agree ‘Hops. My Kunkel reduction was based solely on hope. We are a lousy team playing worse each passing game. Bubble popped.
Some sincere soul searching needed after season by our athletic director...

Carter has been tough going against a guy 40lbs and 2 inches taller. Watson is only 2-4 and has gotten the ball in the box every time

[muskieman]

You can't guard Duke 35 feet from the basket and he has hit two 3s from there

[skyhops]

Carter provides nothing on offense or defense, so there is no reason for him to play more than 10-15. Can someone tell me how Steele was supposedly an offensive genius? Our offense is dribble around take a bad shot and no offensive boards.
