Providence Halftine

I'm surprised Providence fought back after Nova went up 14 in second half. When they showed the clip of Providence in the locker room they looked dead. Cooley was the only one with any energy. I totally expected the second half to start the way it did. But give Providence credit for not quitting.

D.O.

My theory is he's a box of chocolates from here on out. Hopefully he gets better. He's not healthy. The fact they run him out there tells me he's not in danger of being more injured. Which is bad. So it's not an injury where he just gets a little rest and we're ready to roll. Our first tourney game is next Friday. If rest helped he wouldn't be out there tonight. Seems it's just a thing that we're dealing with until the end of the year. That sucks because he's clearly hobbled. He's maybe 60%. Hope I'm wrong but if not why is he playing? He looks terrible.

Defending Dunn

I don't know if Arch or Brunson can stay in front of him. Moreover, they are both the best scoring options in the back court so they need to stay out of foul trouble. Since Dunn plays virtually the entire game, it seems that Bridges and Booth would have to share that defensive responsibility.

Bob Brookover Article Today "The Problem With The NCAA'S

Interesting read in today's Inquirer regarding the Conference Tournament issue-----with teams like Holy Cross and Austin Peay (with horrible records) getting the automatic bid by winning their conference tournament. In those smaller one bid conferences, it sometimes unfairly makes the regular season virtually irrelevant, no matter how well you perform or dominate the league during the season. Those teams that are clearly the best in their conferences are then relegated to the NIT if they have a bad game in their tournament, or when a poor team gets hot and wins a few games, which has already happened twice this week!! He feels there needs to be some changes to the current system, and he gave his thoughts and ideas as to what he'd like to see in that regard-----most of which I agree with.
As he said in his article, we all like to see the upsets and the little guy overachieving and knocking off the champ, especially in the Dance-----its all part of the fun and excitement. But in some ways I also think its unfair in the current conference playoff format---------and I agree with Brookover that some changes to the current system should be proposed and considered, not only for the smaller conferences but for the larger ones as well.
Not sure how to post the link but hopefully someone can do it.

UConn-Cincy

4 overtimes for 2 teams on the bubble. UConn probably needs to win to make the dance.

Cincy hits a go-ahead 3 with 0.8 seconds left to seemingly win it. Then Jalen Adams of UConn chucks a 3/4-court shot, banks it in, and we're going to 4 OTs. Craziest single sports moment I've seen since probably that Packers-Cardinals game.

It feels like a Big East Tournament game. Throwback to the old days, at least of 4-10 years ago.
