Vitale just complimented JT3 and hte Hoyas, on live, ESPN coverage of a Duke game. (Mike Patrick concurred with Vitale, naturally  ) I thought all they did was talk about how great the ACC was??  Pssh, you guys, just had to have faith..I knew my buddy, Dicky V would come around. |

wow 5 secs in a lifetime of a$$ kissing the ACC. If we lost a couple games hed be right back to shunning us in a week. The guy is such a fair weather announcer. I wish he would just shut up. I dont even want him to mention us. He is such an idiot and horrible game announcer, I have to turn the sound off when he calls a game.

example of subtle bias,
Redick pump fakes, drives to the basket and commits an offensive foul. Dicky's response, "This is a part of his game that he has really improved recently to compliment his outside threat, (replay) look at that pump fake, two terps in the air!"
it was a little out of control and HE COMMITTED A CHARGE, yet Dick has nothing but praise for Redick. After the replay he also claimed it was a bad call, it was close but not really a bad call.

Um, it was rather amazing that he got 2 people to jump over him on a pump fake. Not too many guys around the bball world who automatically get people in the air like that, but whatever....
Now, had he glossed over the fact that Shavlik Randolph got away with punching Garrison away for that layin at the end, you might have a better arguement...

I understand that, but it was a turnover and he has nothing bad to say about Redick and nothing good to say about the good Twerp Defense that rotated to stop him. Like I said, its subtle, but its def. there |

Okay, but still, it's no where near as bad as people make it out to be.
If Fransisco Garcia or Chris Quinn did that on a play in the earlier games, I'd be just as appreciative of Raftery or whoever pointing it out.
Speaking of which...what the heck happenned to Marquette? 47 point defeat? Ouch.

Of course, that doesn't explain all the way to 47. Maybe we should go back to the "no real offense" that I observed when I saw them in person against Arizona. |

Tom Crean has now gotten nothing out of his last 3 recruiting classes. You don't pay a coach $1.5 million per year to make NIT appearances. This will be their third straight season of underachievement. The whispers in MU circles that the final four was more of a Dwayne Wade fluke than anything else is steadily becoming louder.
They do have a top notch recruiting class coming in for next season, but that guarantees nothing. If this is what they look like without Diener, its not a good sign.
Expect them to struggle in the Big East next year.
Crean deserves a long leash after his final four appearance, but I don't hesitate in saying that there are ominous signs all over the place.
As some of you who have been around this board for a few years know, I believe pretty firmly that a guy can either coach or he can't. To me, three years of underachievement is a major problem, and things like that were a major reason I didn't care for Esh (actually I was pretty much anti-Esh from the beginning).
