We were not going to go undefeated the rest of the year. We still almost pulled this game out and I am still pissed about the longino travel not called that led to game winning three. That being said the Smith news sucks but this team will be fine and I expect them to rebound and win Sunday.

Prey has played 105 minutes in big east play and has hit 2 shots.
If we cant complain about him, who can we complain about?
Prey did have a key steal at Storrs. An asset that contributed to victory over Danny boy.
Someone playing more than 7 minutes a game?
He only played 9 minutes. Are you saying he was fatigued ?
I saw Ruben's international #'s. He was not shooting 3's in his limited time either

He's a relentless defender...maybe the best on the team...but he needs to start scoring especially with Smith and Dunlap out. I don't know how that's going to happen. As RedstormNC points out, he didn't score one three last year...and was far from a scorer from two. We need him.
Is it funnier than you labeling Zuby not a Big East talent or declaring Vince to be our starting center with sky high potential?
Maybe take a break from big man proclamations for the rest of the season.
Scott guarded Dixon a lot
He could be if he got the time, the opportunity to makes mistakes, and he played in a structured system.
Pitino is all defense. He’s not going to help anyone out on offense.
It’d be great to have someone that could add some offense, but it’s still awesome to have Prey and Ayo who won’t hurt you on defense. Let them screen for Kadary and RJ. That’s half our possessions any way.
I’d argue that a player cannot be a liability on offense.
MEANT TO BE ZUBY'S.He only played 9 minutes. Are you saying he was fatigued ?

I agree with Marillac 100%. Vince brings nothing to the table. His positioning is dubious, his footwork is slow and he has difficulty catching a pass.
I agree Dave 100%. Poplar created a 1 on 3 because RJ left his man with Zuby and Wilcher about to double team Poplar. At this point both corners are open but Kadary seemed ready to cover one of the corners. Scott had to race down to cover the other corner and because RJ was triple teaming Poplar, he got to Perkins too late for an open 3 point shot.
The whole defensive alignment on the Perkin's shot was out of whack.
RJ’s defense was also poor against Providence. At times it’s really shut down but it’s been more up & down than I’d like.

Prey needs to be standing somewhere out of the way on offense, he shouldn't be standing near the sideline on a knockout option. Weak side, away from the ball, ready to crash the boards. He's not being put in a position where he can succeed.

Our bench without Smith can’t make a shot. If playing any 2 guys on our bench at same time, you only have to guard 3 guys. Kind of a liability.
