Butler, Tue., Jan. 2, 8:30p, FS-1

I know I am a little late on the response, but I just read two posts wondering why Thad got ejected. I was close enough to the action. He had been trying to get a 3-seconds call against either Ledlum or Soriano for a couple of possessions and then finally just lost it after we got a bucket down low.

Another update.....my son and I were fortunate enough to catch up with Panther for a quick chat before the game. Don't let him fool you with that old age talk. Sharp and insightful as ever. (y)
If he got ejected begging for a 3 second call the game has passed him by. That is a call you see maybe once a season these days so to get apoplectic about it is nuts.
 
Big time win at CA. Glad I was on hand to experience it live.

Double digits!!!

It's not stressing. When a player who's started either every game or practically every game this year plays 8 seconds any beat writer with half a brain should be asking the question.
Dunlop took his minutes. Practice performance dictates minutes. Coach said Taylor was great team player, but had to learn pf plays and defense and that was not easy.
 
Jenkins was a little rough at the start of the year but he’s playing great D, taking better shots, looking for his teammates more and rebounding well from the guard spot. He cleaned up the turnovers and is one of our best players. He is not a pure PG and his shot selection could be better but he is a really good college player. So glad we have him.
 
That assessment is a little over the the top. He threw 2 beautiful moves - the first half reverse, and second half spin on the break.

Erving even as a collegian, could throw a game filled with a wide assortment of never seen before aerial power moves and acrobatics. Luis had a very uneven game, but i will say that he can do things that no one else on the court can. Athletically gifted but must be refined before the nba is a possibility.

Having said that he is the one guy you don't want to take your eyes off when he gets the ball because he can turn something amazing out of the ordinary.

I've been in the Brady fan club since season began. Exceot for making shots, everything else (hustle, hitting the deck, temperament) has been there from day one. Funny, Pitino gave him a gift to pad his stat line with 4 tech free throws. He missed 2 so badly, Pitino yanked him off the line. Still nice game for him.

Soriano has developed incredible patience with the ball in his hands, even in heavy traffic. He appears to wait as much as 5-6:seconds or more to find the space for a soft jumper or ferocious power move. His passing also underrated. Good bounce back game for him.

Really nice moments about 20 minutes or so post game. A few players hung out with their families in the bleachers for a long time. Zuby, Luis, Ledlum i recall. Nice moments to see these all great kuds just hanging with family. Zuby's entire family here from Texas and will go to nova and be back next week. In particular a great loving crew who i met in Charleston, and have already been to a bunch of his games.

Still plenty of empty seats upstairs for a big east home game. Shameful really but i see it like going to a reallybgood restaurant before itsca must go to place. While some fans wait for the team to be good enough, those who are coming are getting their moneys worth.

A win at Nova will change the season's outlook (at present). Big week ahead
Early on the wagon. Jan 2024
