Apparently Dieng didn't practice the last two days

Not sure why that wasn’t mentioned. It’s not like people weren’t going to notice him WEARING A NECK BRACE.

Seriously? Pitino didn't feel the need to mention it?

Just let all the fans find out 30 minutes before the game? Trying to keep Depaul off balance? I’m tired of Pitino-speak.

I actually don't have a problem with it

NBA and NFL coaches do this all the time. Get the opponent game-planning for one thing, then they’re facing something different at the last minute.

by BostonCardFan on Jan 14, 2012 3:57 PM EST up reply actions  

But honestly why does it matter that it wasn't mentioned?

I’ve been just as critical of Pitino lately as most of you, but I think we’re really reaching here on this one.

Best Depaul Day Ever?

I’ve been in Honolulu all week on a high-pressure work-related trip. All that ended last night. I woke up this morning, hiked to the top of Diamondhead mountain, went to China Town and bought a bobble head President Obama wearing a Hawaiian shirt and playing a ukulele for $6.99 (if you knew me personally, you’d know there’s nothing funnier to me than a bobble head of the leader of the free world doing something stupid like playing a goddamn miniature guitar. Now that the game’s started, I’m going to try to find an bar on the beach that has the game on, so I can drink about a dozen Primos(an awesome Hawaiian beer) and have lunch. If I can’t find one. Fuck it, its Depaul. I’ll go to Waikiki beach, get drunk on some ridiculous drink a man can’t drink anywhere but the beach, and watch beautiful women walk by. Thank god for Depaul day.

Wait

Isn’t this the part of the Christmas Depaul Day special where the kids, although really sad, are suddenly shown the real spirit of DePaul Day by the Dean’s Milk Chug and, after some adversity, scream out to a 22 point lead?

by centre_card on Jan 14, 2012 5:16 PM EST reply actions  

I would totally race the Milk Chug given the chance..

And after I win I would scream “IN YOUR FACE!” and then kick it in the cap so it spoils, because as we all know – to the victor goes the spoils.

The crowd sucks today, too

Not the attendance, just the energy. Can’t blame them too much, though. Team still playing poorly and against a very bad opponent

They had a 3 on 1, Siva slowed them down enough for Ware to catch up

Not big fan of snow

But DePaul Day is about the only day of the year when I hope it snows. Hooray for a DePaul Day miracle!

Why do I feel like the official music of DePaul day

aside from “To Late to Depaulogize” should be the WHAS-11 snow day music

Wouldn't have cared too much about the missed call there

by cardscott5 on Jan 14, 2012 5:28 PM EST up reply actions  

I think the next BB rule change/emphasis should be on calling more charges

The missed charge call has to be the most frequently missed foul in the game. And it’s not just a missed call, but it penalizes the other guy, instead. It makes guys want to play less defense. Denny Crum made a great point on his radio show that the rule is not that the defender has to be motionless, he just has to give the offensive player time to avoid him. The O player is supposed to be under control enough to avoid the contact.

Not until he stops with the two hand dribble.

Gives the d a chance to set their feet and contest the feet. JV coaches will tell you if you catch it high, keep it high and put it up right away.

as a defense, you want to force

very deep 3s and contested outside shots… DePaul has just happened to make 6 or 7 of them today.. they’re not high% shots, nor is it a sustainable approach

by irish2705 on Jan 14, 2012 5:48 PM EST reply actions  

Yes, but

Teams always do this against us.. There are 4=5 games a year in which opposing teams just cannot miss these impossible threes, regardless of how good they usually are at hitting them.

Threes

With guys hands in the face. We never make those, but other teams have to shoot 80% on that shot against us.

I’m scared of EVERY game. And will be until there’s reason not to be.
