Dammit Freaking LEN ELMORE is commentating our game again. I think this season shoul d be known as the CURSE of len elmore. Every game down the stretch that he has announced we lost.. I just did my anti LEN ELMORE dance to break this dreaded hex!!!
go hoyas

To be fair rich, during the Marquette game, he was practically screaming some variant of "Why aren't they passing the ball to Monroe?" on four or five different occasions. I think by rule, that makes him an honorary Hoyas fan.

Elmore really lousy today.
And don't even get me started on Dave Pasch. DELETED - unnecessary.

The beauty of DVR - Line up Rich's broadcast with the game and mute Len.

Len was fine but it is getting really old listening to Syracuse grads do play by play and whine about the Hoyas getting calls.

Absolutely true Dan - with its blasted Newhouse School of Broadcasting, every other ESPN guy is from SU. It's even worse when SU is playing, they whine about calls almost as much as Bucky Boeheim.

If I heard that we ought to get the ball into Monroe one more time, it's a Guinness into the TV.

One thing's for sure, if the team watches a replay of this game in preparation for a BET game against Nova, they won't be able to ignore: PASS THE BALL TO MONROE!

Who do you guys think Len Elmore believes is the key to our offense?

Really??? I'm a Len fan, but if I hear one more time Len says give it to Monroe I'm going to throw my EDIT of the balcony. He's a good color commentator but REALLY???
Get new material. They talk about all he does is watch cbb, but his gig on gtown bball is old.
I am so disappointed with Len. He's mailed it in...like most people at ESPN.
DELETED - no gratuitous flaming of other posters please

Len's nowhere near a curse--now Mike Patrick--that is a DIFFERENT STORY COMPLETELY.
Lenny has had a FECES year with regard to Hoyas though.
If you are going to instruct a point about getting the ball to a player--at least realize the player is LEFT HANDED. When Elmore was orgasmic over the "left handed hook"--well Greg is, was, and will be left handed.
As is case with announcers--players are playing well if they "score". Turnovers from Reynolds and Summers in the game--combined 14. Yet--they hit a few shots and are playing well.
