If college basketball was decided the same way as college football a few years back.... We would have made the championship bowl game

Deserved or not, we ended regular season #2

if you youtube him, he reminds me of a 2 inch shorter version of Malik Abu. Great vertical. Very aggressive. Can really dunk. Didn't miss a shot on youtube! worth watching - go to youtube - search for eric paschal and enjoy. He's a baller.

I'd say ochefu arch and hart are locks. Id say the other 2 are between Brunson booth and Jenkins. I say booth or Brunson is 6tg man

One of the early and easiest knocks on the Big East has been its ratings on Fox Sports 1. I've contended that it is primarily due to the infancy of the network, and the dearth of quality lead in programming to our games. Audiences need time to regularly adopt viewing the network, and that will take time.

Just take a look at the ratings for Monday night. FS1 has ZERO quality primetime programming.

7-8PM Off Season Baseball - 43k viewers
8PM - Joe Maddon interview 33k viewers
8:30PM - Katie Nolan - 27k Garbagetime viewers
9PM - Grand Prix of Qatar - 56k viewers

From a Fox Sports perspective, Big East basketball drew 5x the numbers on a regular weeknight. BE championship drew over 400k on the network. Meanwhile, the Golf Channel is wiping up FS1 on a Monday night.

This is NOT a Big East issue. This is a Fox issue.

Sounds like he'll be on within the hour.

They look to be the strong leader for Tennessee transfer Tariq Owens. Interstingly, one of the selling points to Tariq and crew is he will be developed by Ed Pinckney. HE is visiting St John's next week.

St John's also may get a visit from Drexel transfer Damion Lee. He has already been contacted by Mullin

You can play a 100% positive role in a team dynamic and still be selfish. And that's not a bad thing.

If you don't look out for yourself nobody will. If you have balls enough to make tough choices, especially as a young adult, kudos to you. I respect Ennis and his choice. I rooted for him while he was here and I will root for him during his next chapter.

The number of folks in this world who aren't selfish by choice are few and far between. I would actually argue that if you don't display some level of self-interest you are doing yourself a disservice.

There will be no Ennis bashing from this guy.

Is having a tremendous spring. Maddon loves him. Last year I thought Cubs brass did not think he was in Cubs future , that's not case. Cubs beat writer Gordon Wittenmeyer says Joe Maddin wants Matt up from day 1 and would use Matt a ton in a variety of different roles. Matt has 1 option left so maybe he doesn't break camp with Cubs but if not its temporary as Maddon has convinced Theo and boys Matt has a bright future in Cubby blue

Did marquette really beat us in lax? How does a program from Wisconsin that was nothing more than club sport a few years ago beat us in an easy coast sport that we've been working I relevance in for years?

Dave Paulsen goes to GMU. Looks like a good hire. GMU wanting to regain relevance. FTL to the GMU announcement.

Tough day for us all. Thought I would share a good story I saw on Facebook today.

The girl at the end playing the flute and crying has become an internet sensation.

Mike Maloney owner of Maloneys Pub posted that she was the greatest fan he had ever seen and that if she is 21 drinks are free for her the rest of the year.

Turns out she responded and she is.

Got to know the Maloney brothers from my time at Nova, 2 great dudes.

Villanova just announced that six "preferred walk-ons" will become part of the team next fall. One is Ben Evans from Loyal Blakefield HS , I think in Towson. He is listed as a LB 6-1 195( somewhat under sized).
Do you know anything about him?

Mugsy was off this chart - literally.

I am not sure if I believe that # but 10% of men over 6-101/2 in that age group are in the NBA ...

I think most of the board members are in agreement that on paper our defense will take a hit next season. My question is if the shot clock is reduced to 30 seconds, as I'd assume we will continue to use the 3/4 court trap to slow the opposing offense, will it help, hurt, or not make a difference to our team defense? Guess I'm hopeful that if the other teams take the same amount of time to get the ball up the court, they will have less time to break down our D which will give us a better shot of getting stops and then relying on the offense to pull out games.

If anyone out there is a senior or very recently graduated from 'Nova and is looking for a job in engineering, my department within Lockheed Martin is going to be posting some job openings for some entry level system engineers this spring. Electrical, computer engineering along with computer science and math degrees would be well suited to apply. These are entry level positions so little to no job experience is required.

Contact me for any more information: akeefe01 at villanova dot edu. Feel free to pass this along to anyone else you might know who is looking.

Seriously considering doing Lasik, almost everyone I've spoken with who's had it says it's great. Looks like to go to a good doctor it's about 2,000-2,400/eye. I'm spending $400/year on daily contacts, seems to make sense in the long run.

Anyone have a good doctor recommendation in the CoP? Good/Bad experiences? Seems like the price also might be negotiable.

Great player. Turned into a bitter grump old man though.

Sounds like a troubled young man. Hope he gets his act together at some point.

With our departing SRs and Ennis, here is what we lost in some key stats:

Minutes = 40.7%
Points = 43.8%
Rebounds = 38.5%
FT's = 47%
3Ps Made = 42%
Blocks = 39%
Steals = 46.2%

Food for thought. I feel good about making up our lost points, but I'm not sure about everything else.

Didn't advance to 2nd round yet was tied with Boatright for 4th, why didn't DH advance? Did Boatewright hit more money balls?

On the women's softball team!

From 6abc:

"....Sources say the students being initiated had to consume alcohol, perform acts involving inappropriate touching, perform lap dances for upperclassman on the team, mimic various sex acts and other allegations too graphic to be outlined."

Joe Lunardi won't have much time for Final4
