UVA stinks and fouls an awful lot. If we can't beat UVA, I'm not sure who else we're going to beat in this conference

bluefishskip {l Wrote}:UVA was just too physical for the 4 guard offense. BC couldn't score on the interior, and UVA shot like 80% in the 2nd half from the field. 2 things obviously that will result in a loss. Referees were not giving Anderson any kind of help today down low. Guards couldn't get to the rim.
Don't know how one game can all of a sudden seal Donahue's fate.

They were too busy bailing out the rest of the team.
It's not one game. What team have you been watching?

I actually like UVA's game. Slow it down. Tough defense...pretty athletic and very long. . I think they're better than most of the rest of the average ACC. Not a good match up for BC especially with the size Rahon gives up on Harris.

Baltimore Eagle {l Wrote}:In terms of his job security I don't care if he is a good coach. It's all about recruiting and he either needs to make the tourney next year (prob less than 50% chance) or he prove he can recruit enough talent to compete on this level or he should be gone.

If he adds two more decent rotational players and one is a big I think it makes a world of difference.

That's why your name is Bchockey. UVA is gross and Tony Bennett clearly hates basketball. They could call 3 fouls on every possession they are on defense. They can win games b/c Bennett has decided the only way he can do well at UVA is by desecrating the game of basketball. I wish we could trade UVA to the big ten and keep maryland.

This also. Bennett's D is a joke. Al they do is foul all possession, it's like playing VCU

I've started retyping a reply to this post four times, none could express just how dumb I think the first two lines are. Clifford, Anderson and Jackson are still fine, just like they were before this loss. There was no epiphany. The difference is that there was no longer an empty F'ing roster to fill with bodies in 2012.
I will be done with Donahue if they are not a bubble team next year. I nearly guarantee Donahue gets a fourth year if he has a .500 record next year and maybe even if not and I wonder what BC athletics department people who think otherwise have been watching. I'm not saying this is good, its generally terrible but it is what is likely to happen.

My problem from the 2011 class isn't that we recruited zero talented players, but rather that we lacked consistency. Anderson, Clifford, and Jackson were all good recruits who I was happy with from Day 1. They had few high major offers but were getting tons of interest - similar to Rahon and Hanlan. The problem is that Donahue combined getting under-the-radar recruits that had lot of potential with other players that had zero interest from any of the big conferences - Caudill, Odio, and arguably Heckmann. Donahue doesn't have to be Ed Cooley on the recruiting trail to be successful, but he should at least be successful enough to beat out other schools that are towards the top of mid-major conferences or towards the bottom of major conferences. Instead, half of Donahue's roster are players that not even Big East bottom feeders wanted.
