    Kris Dunn has missed more layup so than any player I have ever witnessed. His reputation is better than his play. He gets stuffed and leaves shots at the rim for 2 plus years. He needs to be criticized fairly. He is not as good as we want him to be.

    Like the Friars lost focus on Depaul you lost focus as well as a writer and publisher of this blog. Throwing tweets out and a poll about how many fans will show up to the Allstate Arena for the game on Tuesday night.

          That doesn’t even make sense. I have been doing a poll on Twitter lately to get fan involvement. The one I have usually have been doing is to predict the opening line. Because I didn’t get that poll question up before the lines opened, I used something else. Laughable that you think me sending tweets out about DePaul’s attendance is me losing focus as a writer and publisher of my own damn blog. Go back to your Colorado basketball message boards, Bill.

            You thought DePaul was going to be a cake walk. You threw out a poll to see how many fans would show up to a venue located over 30 minutes away from campus for a team struggling in conference. To me that’s losing focus. Who cares whats in the stands. Whats on the floor is more important.
