In one of the old threads I was going over from last year, someone, I believe BigMoeMusketeer, made the point that Christopher's hires for revenue sports at Bowling Green were all failures.Quote:

Overall he sucks- but he is a fundraiser. I thought he was known to be a guy that brings in money- and the Cintas renovation under Greg has been pretty damn impressive. I don’t trust him to fire or hire the right guy though- and isn’t he second in command at the university now? The new president would have to fire him? I can’t see that happening
If true, that's scary. I know I'm a grumpy old, and old school guy, but the idea of a lifetime female academic being in charge of the fate of our basketball program gives me pause, to say the least.Quote:

I thought trying to set screen at the top of the key where their big man was drawn away from the basket, and had to switch off the screen, gave us a much better chance at getting a good shot. And, despite how well Providence switched off the screen, it still created a little bit of space to where he could fade away and get it up. (I THINK they were hoping to drive the basket off of the screen, but that Providence switched so fast he just got cut off, but I don’t know. I wasn’t in the huddle) I would call that a decent play to run with less than ten seconds to go. Now had there been more time, it would have been better to kick it back out and draw them out again. But, there wasn't. It's hard to get a "good shot" in ten seconds when your first option is pretty much your only option. Given the situation, I thought what X did was "decent."Quote:

I also thought Colby's drive was decent as well, he just missed it.
To be honest, I thought Steele coached a good game yesterday. I liked giving some other guys some minutes. They are going to need to do it more because guys are gassed, especially Nunge. Like most of you, I didn't like Hunter being in in the 3rd OT - I would have gone with Edwards, but he was at the scorer's table.
It was a great game and we traded punches with the 11 team in the nation on their home floor. Sadly, prior circumstances don't make it a moral victory, it's just another loss.

If for some reason that was covered up, or d collapsed, he would have kick outs available at the wings with kunkel and either jones/scruggs at the three line to shoot an open 3....Quote:
