If only they practiced shooting.

Joe just made SportsCenter's not top 10...

On one note about Trapani, great effort today, but if a guy tries to dunk on you up 20+ in the last few minutes, he should be coughing up his teeth. Just sayin'.

How the fuck do you come out and play such uninspired ball with a berth on the line. Good riddance senior class. I've been waiting for a long time to see you graduate.

If Trapani had the choice to make over again, I think he stays at Vermont.

Well, if the plan was to save their legs for the tournament, it worked.

The fact that we think he's even having second thoughts says it all. Kind of scary that I think you're right.

1 tourney appearance in 4 years, which was an absolute embarrassment, all the while having an All-ACC performer on your team.

Serious question: If a couple of those early threes had dropped, would it have been a totally different game?

It was an ominous beginning, that's for sure. But Clemson't D is just stellar. Have to give them a lot of credit.

THIS. What's he got to lose? It's his last meaningful game at BC. Oh no, he might get suspended for the NIT.

how quickly you forget our ability to dribble and receive passes in the first 10 min of the game.

It was almost like Len Elmore was channeling his inner TOB ("It is almost as if BC is losing the ball in the lights")

Yup, Gene will get to recycle a lot of his PR and marketing materials for the big NIT home tip.

You can't really blame the team - did you see how HUMID it was in Greensboro today?

by **BCeezy** on Fri Mar 11, 2011 4:42 pm

Realistically, any chance?

MSU loss to Purdue
Penn St. loss to Wisco
VT loss to FSU
USC loss to Arizona
Memphis or UTEP lose tonight, the other wins C-USA
New Mexico loss to BYU

I think we are out but it seems like it could be a complete toss up.

by **branchinator** on Fri Mar 11, 2011 4:43 pm

For everyone bemoaning the early misses, well, we were down 33-27 after Reggie started the 2nd half. Those missed 3's could have easily been overcome.

by **EagleNYC** on Fri Mar 11, 2011 4:43 pm

What can you write about this game and this effort? Just horrible all around with plenty of blame, from players through coaches. I know that message boards are prone to extreme reactions, but this was a disaster in the truest sense of that term (in a sports context). No energy. No execution. And no chance to make the tourney. I don't care how bad the matchup was, this was a dreadful performance that spun around a season's worth of hope. I'm a huge Don supporter, but how can you explain this game? The man needs to do better. Perhaps we can tone down the hype for him for a bit, because this was the coaching equivalent of Craig Smith's shit-show against GT.

This is exactly why I think resiliency was the issue, not the lackluster start. If we made a couple three at the beginning, there's a good chance the whole game would have gone differently, and that fact as frustrating as hell.

A tsunami swept at least five people watching the waves out to sea Friday and ripped docks out of harbors in California and Oregon, spreading the destruction of a devastating Japanese earthquake to the shores of the United States.

Shit happens...Hey honey lets go look at the waves....

I don't know what the eff you are getting so excited about. The Clemson game didn't matter. We locked up an NCAA bid when we beat Wake.

fwiw, espn has us listed as first four out...hopefully, they are wrong. looking at the SOS and RPI numbers, i believe that they are but then again i do not follow college basketball all that closely.

Unfortunately the selection committee is not a computer running a pairwise formula and instead consists of human beings who just watched two teams in a de-facto play in game....

Oh... don't worry... every game from here on out (regardless of sport) WON'T MATTER!!!!!????!!?!?!@!11 I am sure it similarly won't ever get hackneyed.

Edit: On an aside, I have always found it strange that BC '00 so relishes his role as OJ's handmaiden.

You mean aside from the recent post saying he'd find a way to blame this on Al and non-white players? Actually I just think you're both douchers and enjoy your endless bickering. Carry on.
