Scuggs made a three to cut it to two, admires his work, then his man hits a three on the other end at the 5 minute mark. Then, he misses the front end of two straight 1 and 1s. Then, he forces an awful lab. Steele claps. Gauchos better start pressing, or trying something different on D.

fire the guy on the clock
Wonder why Steele didn't challenge that?

Can’t wait for the Steele defenders after this horrifically horrendous embarrassing loss...

the refs went and looked at the play. They added 3 seconds to save face. Home clock should never reset on a play like that, let the ref call it.

Depaul is shooting 54% because they are active. X missing FTs and not scoring over smaller players.
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

Scruggs played a horrific 37 minute, and very good last two minutes. Also got away with a mugging, and again, missed another FT.

Here's an idea. Put Kunkel and Johnson in.

his missed FTs twice could have changed what never should have happened. I had a bad feeling about this game based on their awful offense. Most disappointing game this year and if they don't find a solution to Nate and Adam's terrible three-point shooting they will have more.

Down four, 30 seconds, and Steele leaves the two best three throw shooters on the bench. This is the only time I don't mind booing at Cintas. If DePaul player two players and three folding chairs, Steele would still find a way to screw it up. As I've said prophetically, Steele is lucky he is a great recruiter, because he is a horrible, horrible, coach.

I just saw Christopher drop his phone, and I picked it up. Looking over his shoulder, I saw Steele's BOT father in law invite him out for wings at Applebee's. He also texted,"Aren't you glad you aren't at BG?"

Agreed. Nor do they have an option for the witless, AAU coach on the bench, unless Walnut Hill's, Elder's, or St. James's coach can get a 2 month sabbatical. You can't spell horrific without Steele.

I am absolutely at a loss for words, lots of thought but I think I’ll just keep them to myself. This movie is starting to look all too familiar.
