Yeah that made no sense to me. With Caedin being Caedin, Ben injured, and us getting bullied inside, seemed like a good chance to get him out there for ten minutes.

They wouldn't dream of parking their nonrevenue sports in the Big East.

Today, U.S. Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) is leading a letter with Senator Jon Husted (R-OH) to Big East Commissioner Val Ackerman to encourage the conference to add Saint Louis University (SLU) and the University of Dayton (UD) to the Big East.

As always, a pointless post.

I think huge issues are lack of control and lack of players that play at their own pace. Tyler, Oso, Kam, Stevie, O Max and even Jop when he played in the post and mid post, all understood the game and how they could set up their own offense and manipulate the defense a bit to get what they wanted. They all did it in their own ways but they had such a good understanding of the scheme and how to play their own game.

There's none of that on this team. It's all breakneck speed. It's launching the first open shot. There's lack of composure. And just an overall lack of understanding of how to play basketball. We get a lot of open shots but they all seem rushed.

Nigel will get there. He's shown some really promising early signs of knowing how to create for himself with hesitation moves and dissecting defenses off the dribble. With that feel, I think he'll learn how to create for others around him and learn how to pick his spots better. Stevens shows some early signs too. He's less dynamic, but I rarely think he's taking shots that he can't make. And he does a good job of getting himself to his spots.

The rest of the roster is rough.

You couldn't pay me to sit outside tomorrow night. It's brutal outside right now and will be worse tomorrow.

Wow impressive, wouldn't have the guts to go there on my US passport.

We also don't have guys that attack the offensive glass.  When was the last time we scored off an offensive rebound?  I'm watching a UCONN team that would be losing big to G-Town if they're weren't pursuing the rock off the glass. 

I know nothing about the AD, Broeker. My guess...and just a guess, is that he is not a hard asss 'just win, baby' kinda guy. IMO, the debrief after the 1st rd BET exit should be...drop the RGV bs. Cut some guys. Assist in finding new mid-major homes is fine, but move on from two or three players over-matched at this level, and hit the portal. We're going to adjust how guys are paid. If someone is unhappy over that, show em out. 20+ L's is beyond embarrassing at Marquette. This isn't happening again under my watch as AD.

I'm not confident this will happen, but hey, I'm just guessin' here.

The sooner Hiroshima arrives, the better.
