Great article about DePaul (or, an excellent one to some).

My favorite line- "Each time the program seems to hit rock- bottom, it finds a way to drill down deeper."

Sleeping giant

[DFW HOYA]

Progress isn't elusive for DePaul, it's all but unattainable. Twenty years of poor decisions, from coaching to recruiting to basic management put Tony Stubblefield in a literal no-win predicament, and a new practice facility doesn't change that.

The first step on the road to recovery is acknowledging you have a problem. It took Georgetown a decade or more, but they finally closed the books on the House of Thompson and Ed Cooley is, as he says, not "rebuilding" but simply "building".  The Hoyas may not look all that good tomorrow night but with players like Jayden Epps, Rowan Brumbaugh and Drew Fielder it's got a brighter future, something which cannot be said at Lincoln Park right now.

While a very impressive donation, the crazy thing is that is about 1 hours worth of fund raising at SMU.

Butler hanging with Providence at the Dunk.

Butler hanging with Providence at the Dunk.

Funny thing about game is that I believe 9 out of the ten starters are portal transfers. How the game has changed.

[Mu8891]

9 out of 10 are transfers ?
Good lord.  That's ridiculous...

Tho, I think Prov has 2 or 3 returning starters

Yes, it is 9

Jayden Pierre from PU only recruit. All others portal guys.

Wow what a battle in Providence

Wow what a battle in Providence

Regardless of the outcome, props to Butler, especially given their problems getting to Providence.  They're not gonna be a pushover this year.

Butler has some dudes. Would be nice to have Stevie back against them.

I'll bet our walk-ons are better than their walk-ons.

Butler should have fouled on the drive to the basket before the kick out.  The clock was down to three seconds.  A Providence 3 sends it to OT.

Overtime . Fanta celebrating Festivus lol

Either that or not sag off Gaines to help out on a guy dribbling inside the arc who couldn't beat you.

There were still 5 seconds on the clock when the kick out pass came. Gaines was in the air shooting at 4.

Thad Matta sucks

Yup. Under five seconds when he passed the ball. 

That along with horrendous foul shooting cost them the game. Should have won on the road. 

Said it last week, that Oduro guy that came from George Mason with English has really changed PU. He was highly sought after portal transfer, but quickly went with English. He had like 19/13/6 today? 

Maybe next year for MU portal guys.

English Enterprises stock rising.

Future is bright in Friartown.

Had a perfect chance to foul, so I think it was Matta's orders. If so, he deserves an NCIS Leroy Gibbs dope slap for that.

PC with 59% vs Butler 55 on FTs.
