Whichever moron is doing this game just dared to mention Brumbaugh and Pistol Pete in the same sentence.
He should be removed from the table now.

DePaul is simply dreadful.
And this game is not a lock.
Sad…

Roman/Ryan should be a great final. Harry will be broadcasting it I hope he's not applying to Syracuse for its broadcasting journalism major! He knows full well not to attend Lower Canada Community College

Agreed, but like you say, it was 39 years ago. That's almost 2 generations and another world ago. I'm with you being wiShut upl for the glory of past days, and I'm leaning on the cyclical nature of things and the idea that the wheel is ever so slowly turning back our way. Starting tonight. Beat the Johnnies! I actually feel bad for the kids at GU and SJU who have never seen a good program. As my son gets ready to go to school, I hope he gets to enjoy high level athletics.

39 years ago, this game was as big as it got.
Sad, sad state of affairs for these two programs.

Ryan plays Neumann Goretti on Wednesday night at the Palestra.
Should be a fun matchup.

Not arguing.
It will serve him well to bitch less.

At 3-50 over our last 53 and losers of 11 in a row, I will remain skeptical.

I wish EC could read the floor and make adjustments sooner Last wish -- I get three, right? -- is for us not to allow any more easy layup baskets. Hammer them and knock them down -- make 'em pay to come inside. Whatever you have to do. Easy threes will kill you; walk right in and scoring layups rips out your soul. Exactly. I thought “toughness” was staple #1 for Cooley. They are very tough to watch…. Does that count?

It was fun to watch some HS basketball. Sorber is a very athletic and talented young man. He is lean and agile. His frame can easily support another 20-30 lbs without compromising that agility. Very nice feel for the game and good hands. Most of his blocks were weak side help and he totally cowed Prep away from their drive game. Had a few nice passes and is confident with the ball. Downsides: Is a bit of a complainer on the Court. Spent a good piece of the game barking at officials. Hopefully he will grow out of this. Side Note: His Mom was at the game and had a lot of fun playfully jousting with the Prep fans. Could be the next “Jeff Green’s Mom” character at GU. That doesn't happen much. I see why he was complaining. I know your son is involved with Prep but they were literally fouling the crap out of him everytime. When the biggest guy on the Court Editedes and moans it is a bad look. Prep clearly fouled him a ton. He and his teammates gave as well as they got.

Sorber is very talented and will be fun to watch at GU. Prep’s coach should never have allowed them to hold the ball until 8 seconds. Foul one of them with 15 or 20 to go. Would have been malpractice to send them to the line in a tie game. Guards though should've been much more aggressive pressuring the ball. Letting them waste the final minute basically undeterred was a poor choice though, I agree. The late Jim Valvano begs to differ. If Prep fouls with 15 to go, they get a shot to tie or win at worst
