Both Providence games were winnable (as were the Xavier games). If anything a tight game late in the 2nd half might get PC to feel the weight of a bubble bursting loss. We have nothing to lose and hope we play that way.

The shooting pct of our opponents in the last 5 mins of close games is almost statistically impossible. It’s amazing.

Cook is a MAAC level player. He played this many minutes only because Akok left late and other big transfers didn’t pan out. Him playing this much was plan c. To his credit he has done ok given the increased role, but still he’s not a BE starting caliber player.

Like clockwork, we are falling apart down the stretch. The two quick fouls on Fielder (the first was incredibly soft) changed the complexion of the game.

Win or lose this effort / completeness is what I expected most of the year. I guess RB and Fielder just weren’t ready for the step up in competition earlier. But when they are contributing at this level, this is a much different team.

SJ may get tight the longer we stay in this game.

Are the BE standings pretty much locked in now? Do we get StJ twice in a week? No we’ll get PC again unless they beat UConn I believe.

someone should ask Ed why Bristol didn't play until the last minute. Fielder I get was in foul trouble, but I would have at least let him foul out before allocating those minutes to others who literally have given us nothing in a month plus.

The fact we scored 91 and 93 in both matchups and won neither is almost impossible.

They are going to score 60+ points in a half and only hit 2 3s. That has to be a record or something.

Giving up 55+ points in a half isn’t ideal

Is Bristol hurt? I mean how is Ish in over him?

I don’t dispute we are playing dumb and fouling like crazy. But it’s tough to have such a large disparity if you are calling things consistently.

Not sure why Bristol hasn’t been in?

I rarely blame the officials but they totally have ruined this second half.
