Double tech?! Styles didn’t do anything. It was all Moore! Fielder got in a better shot than anyone.

Both of these teams stink out loud and we are down by 15.
This train wreck of a season can’t end soon enough.
Can we turn down the BET bid?

The pass by Sorber to the wide open 3. Then heartbreak... I think what it excites me so much about Sorber is summed up nicely in this clip. His talent and ability is obvious from his resume as Co-MVP and success in AAU tourneys. But he's a high IQ player as well which we sorely lack. With possession down 2. He calls for the ball reversal by pointing/calling out to the guards. Then he doesn't go straight to the open spot in zone. He creates the space by moving in tight like he might screen and then fading to the baseline open area. Quick move baseline to beat a slower defender. And then rather than forcing a contested 2 to tie the game patiently finds the wide open shooter in the corner. On defense he immediately points to the guards to stop ball and then as the RC guard beats his man comes off his man to contest knowing there was no time to pass it off. The result didn't work out - but Sorber did EVERYTHING right with the game on the line. Spot on. And he almost got a piece of it.

Watching Sorbers highlights- and last nights near winning pass- he loves to find his 3 point shooters with very accurate passes.Hoya shooters are going to love him. Not since Monroe have we had a great passer at the 5. He is a very willing and adept passer. He still needs to bark less at officials.

Love the announcer's take on TS: "Sorber's one of the greatest players that's played in this league in the last couple of decades." Also liked the patience and passing showed by AR. We're getting a special kid. Can't wait! At the risk of sounding ignorant . . . how strong is the Philly Catholic league? My inclination is that it's probably pretty strong, and that is thus some very high praise. It is a strong league routinely sending many players to D1 schools. Sorber’s teammate is on his way to FGCU. Not sure how many other D1 kids this year though Archbishop Wood has a kid who is very highly regarded as well.

For anyone wishing to listen to Sorber’s game (and more importantly to my son) the broadcast is found as follows:
Go to YouTube Search WSJP
It should be the first thing listed.
Enjoy

For anyone interested, Harry is calling the PCL final tonight from the Palestra. Please message me if you want the link to the broadcast. Can you link it here or does it have to be individually? Would love to tune in! I will try. He has not gotten it to me yet.

We have one of the top centers in the country coming in next year. There is plenty to be concerned about but this isn’t one of them. Dikembe was on no one’s rankings when he came in. Another widely accepted “truism” on this board is freshmen cannot make meaningful contributions in Big East play. If we want to be a school that top recruits have no interest in then we should go bring in starters at Center, PG, and SG from the Portal. It will also guarantee significant roster turnover every year and lock us into the competing with DePaul for worst in the Big East. Sorber would be the best overall big on this team right now.

It is very sad that Filipowski got hurt.
That said, I have no time for the sanctimony of the announcer crowd on how it must be abolished.
They love to show and glorify fans cheering for themselves and believing they are part the action.
And Jon Scheyer, who loved his Cameron Crazies should shut his pie hole.
Full Disclosure: I hate Court storming and field rushing.

Always happy for the players...that was a long stretch between wins...if anything at least it helps with morale you would hope... Absolutely. Some more than others. I do not expect another win before next November.

We’re lucky there aren’t any fans to boo because I thought Cook carried then double dribbled on that steal and break. After he fouled…
