The Bob Knight Old Curmudgeon Rant of the Day:
A really closely played game, yet each team blew an easy transition bucket by throwing lousy alley-oops. Put the ball on the floor for christsakes! (scream like Herm Edwrds): Hello, you play to win the game!
-Jerry Wainwright aka The Principal from Breakfast Club aka Droopy Dog
-Liked to see Keno Davis get that T for arguing an out-of-bounds call, that did look a little suspect, with Providence down 59-55. Very Calhoun-esque. He even kept yelling at the ref after DePaul shot their free throws and a timeout was called. Ballsy for a first year Big East coach against veteran refs.
-My thoughts at halftime: Hey Providence, you're not in the Dunkin' Donuts Center anymore. And God Shamgod isn't walking through that door...
-DePaul totally blew it from 4:44 to 4:00. They took three awful three pointers, all of which turned into Providence baskets. Oh yeah, and they didn't score a FG from 11:00 until 2:00.
-Huge comeback, not deficit wise, but Providence totally played like shit for 30 minutes and DePaul was on fire. No word on whether Jeff Xavier's brother ran on the court to celebrate. We have a call in to his parole officer to see if post-game on court celebrations are permitted.
-Worst part of the Providence comeback: I had totally written off any chance of Providence covering (-9.5), and then they got it to 10 points with 22 seconds to play only for Will Walker to make a three from somewhere in the fifth fucking row and Providence makes two free throws to win by 9. I hate it. Emotionally detached, then very alive again, and then dead. it's like losing two bets in the same game.
