    Don’t want to here excuses Dunn was sick. He has had more bad or ho-hum games than good games. Such a disappointing year for him.

    Unfortunate loss to a very good team. It is easy in retrospect to criticize BUT……
    This places PC at the very best 4th in the conference and if this continues, definitely NIT bound. I believed you could have won it all.
    This was the epitome of the deer in the headlights. They took mercy on the deer and tried to let them walk away.
    Courageous effort by Ben Bentil.
    Obviously they don’t read my blog which in the last one said if your not hitting 3,s in practice you shouldn’t be trying your luck in the game. 1 for 17 at one point in the game. The announcers were shocked.
    Poor , extremely poor passing, ball handling and rebounding. If Bentil hadn’t got hot in the second half they would have been up by 40. This would not have been the final score because they would have mercifully played their bench for the last 10 minutes.
    There is only one place to lay blame and that is on the coaches. You were unprepared and you had 8 days to prepare. Willard was concerned that you had an advantage. Next time he’ll request 2 weeks off for PC. The players don’t need a chewing. You do.
    Enough rottenness from me. Get ready and start winning. You are letting these great players down. Shame on you.

    Another extremely disappointing end to the FRIARS season!!
    Ed Cooley is a fool!! When your team is scoring points in the paint and they cannot hit a shot from outside you STOP shooting the outside shot!!! What a complete breakdown all the way around by coaches and players. I have no idea (and have thought this since the beginning of the season) why Kris Dunn is considered one of the top guards in the country??? He turns the ball over all the time in crucial situations and he does not run the offense well!!
    This team is not going to the tourney…they will be lucky to get into the NIT!!!
