Game 4 - Go Friars

[naginiF]

This is a lesson in not getting overly down if you start off flat - holy cow!

Apparently something happened since I last checked on this game ten minutes ago.

Providence should not have been a play-in team.

This.

Makes me want to change some of my brackets.

Not like it matters, but if PC manage to win this game, I will have gone 4/4 in my First Four predictions.

[Herman Cain]

Providence looking good up 44-29 at Half. Cooley and his crew doing good things for the Big  East in Dayton tonight versus SC. Their prophylactic  defense is really doing the job on  The Trojans offense that is having a fair degree of dysfunction.

Hey MUFINY, I thought the committee respected Cooley? What happened this year?

[GooooMarquette]

What a great run to end the first half.  Hope they keep going....

He is still their fair haired boy so to speak. They gave his team a good opportunity to tune up in Dayton against an overrated USC team.

And then have to play a 6-seed who are ranked number 11 in the nation?  They got screwed in terms of a draw.  Playing in Dayton and then playing a team that should be at worst a 4 seed.

[Herman Cain]

Cooley better get his crew back in action , the Trojans rallied and are up now aargh

[TVDirector]

And they couldn't collapse like this against us?....

Don't let the committee down!!!

[Eldon]

What a collapse.

Sigh.

[JWags85]

Somebody give Cooley and Jonathan Xavier the Heimlich.  Brutal.  USC just getting to the lane at will in the latter part of the second half.

[mayfairskatingrink]

Wow, MU lost to these guys?

[wadesworld]

I think Providence is my 2nd least favorite BE team behind Seton Hall (mainly because Cartwright seems like a punk who, once again, has still never dribbled a basketball without carrying it), so I can't say I'm overly disappointed.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Choke job

[Herman Cain]

Don't let the committee down!!!

Cooley screwed the Big East.

Good analysis

100% pure troll

Holt's foul trouble and USC's size wore down the Friars. Boatwright for USC having his career game hurt them too. Providence doesn't have any seniors, so barring anybody leaving early and minimizing transfers, they should be pretty good next year.

Good analysis

Actual my analysis sucked this time.

Agree.  Cooley did a great job this year and he'll have four senior starters next year.

As an aside, in this game at least it seemed like Cartwright could only go to his left-- he was just a quicker version of Haanif.

Difficult to make shots with both hands around your throat!
