Not exactly Big East news, but I'm channel surfing and found my way to the Boston College/Wake Forest game (on ESPNU).... Dang! BC has four points under 5 minutes to go in the half. Yes! 4 points! It's 30-4, Wake Forest.
BC is making our first half against Vanderbilt look like a masterpiece. I may watch the rest of the first half to see if they'll crack double digits.

And to think that pre-ACC Boston College was a solid program, where not going to the NCAAs was a disappointment, and that for the past six years, their once-solid football program has been, to put in kindly, mediocre at best. Don't know the financial benefits of being in the ACC, but for the fans and the image of their programs, it's been a disaster.

Not exactly Big East news here either, but nice sized crowd out in St. Louis for their Sunday night game vs. Fordham. Billikens lead 30-28 at the half.
Boheim is crap... even more happy our lowly team this year beat them at the Garden and he wasn't able to stop it.
I get what you mean but let's flip the coin... if Mullin spoke about Christian Jones this way do you think it would motivate the guy or shut him down further ?
I just don't think it's cool that a college coach speak so negatively about a player like this... I get that it's big time D-1 program but it's not the NBA either... Boeheim is making a pretty penny, but not the player.

No, I wouldn't want coach doing it to CJ, because I don't think CJ has the talent anyway, regardless of lack of fire.
Lavin absolutely should have done it with Rysheed, though. What's the worst that would happen? Jordan would quit on the team and run home to Philly? He did that a bunch of times already when he was getting his ass coddled. And look where that got him.
But you are right. Coaches like Boeheim get paid and the kids don't (nudge nudge wink wink). I wouldn't endorse ripping a lower talent kid or a kid who can't take it. But a talented coasting kid who may be mentally strong enough to take it? Absolutely.

It may have been behind closed doors hundreds of times already, and it reached the point where JB would either choke him or try to embarrass him into playing with passion.
If it works, he'll eventually thank Boeheim, Smooth tall wings are a dime a dozen. No passion means he'll be playing in Southeast Asia and not the NBA.
