PC came to play last night.{/quote}

PC comes to play every night.

lets hope that team sticks around.

As long as they're healthy, it will be the same team tonight, next week, and beyond.

Lunardi still has PC as a 10 seed (at least its not an 11 playin) behind St bonaventure among others. I realize UMass and DePaul were bad losses but 3 top 5 wins all against the projected #1 seeds doesn't make up for that?. Maybe 10 is good, I don't like the 8/9 seed either considering with a win number 1 is waiting. we shall see how it pans out

Ignore Lunardi. He doesn't know anything you and I don't know.

VERY disappointed X lost last night. That was a tough game to watch as the lead just slipped away. Cartwright was fantastic down the stretch. Watson, too--he's looks to be very good in the years to come. I doubted the hire of Chris Mack when it was made (I had met a few times when we were together at X and didn't like what I saw), but I'm a believer and I hope he stays for a long time. If we ever lose him though, I'd love to have Cooley as our coach. He seems pretty awesome. Love the way he deals with those kids. Moreover, I couldn't have been more impressed with Cartwright in the interview after the game. I've heard guys deflect praise before, but to give all the credit to a couple of freshmen as smoothly as he did....pretty special. Seems like a good, tough kid. Good luck tonight against Nova (even though they're my other alma mater).

I just finished banging my head against a post. Congratulations, Friars. Go win a couple next week.

Thank you Muskie.

I think Chris Mack is a phenomenal coach. They way he handled the misfortunes of last year and got it working again in time for a great march run was testament to his abilities. He's intense sure, and probably not all touchy feely like Ed is, but I think he is one of the most underrated coaches in America and as good a coach as XU has had - and after Gillen, Prosser and Miller, that's saying a lot.

Cartwright Is tough and determined, but very mature. PC is a small liberal arts school, and he got there and didn't like the majors on offer so he created his own - Sports Media. Bullock is supposedly a great student. If you ever hear Jalen Lindsey speak, he sounds like a 35 year old man - maybe a lawyer or something.

I think in general all the kids in the league are really likeable young men. Brunson is graduating from Villanova in three years. I just love our league.

After the absolute despair of the Keno Davis era, I still can't believe Ed Cooley is our coach. And no - you can't have him. He's ours.

Mack’s name has been associated with the Louisville vacancy and Cooley’s with UConn’s. I can’t see either of them leaving their current gigs and think it would be a big mistake if either of them did. Great coaches who seem to be coaching a the school’s they were born to coach.

Cooley ain't going anywhere.

Agree.
