You have a strange definition of fun lol. Personally, I don't care for watching the refs stare at the monitor haha.

Seriously though, we desperately need Aiken back. He's our closer and our closing there was ugly. Lucky to escape.

I posted that and it seemed like 20 minutes of real time for 2 min of game time. Even my daughter asked when it would be over.

Georgetown is just brutal right now.

It was bound to happen. Decimated by injuries the entire season. 8th different starting line-up tonight with 6 total players (one of whom was playing injured). The Final 4 streak almost certainly ends in March.

Props to Nova. Good game plan, well executed.

It'll be interesting now that they've lost, will teams no longer have that mental block against you guys. I think against some teams, you have them beat before they step out on the floor. Even against teams talent wise that should be able to compete.

Tonight was a solid step towards DePaul not finishing last in the conference.

And if you really want to get wild, with JFL returning soon, I could see a possibility where DePaul goes 4-4 over their final 8 conference games. If that happens, they'd finish 7-13 in conference play, and 16-14 overall going into the Big East Tournament.

That might give them an outside shot at an NIT birth.

DePaul went on a 26-0 run mid 2nd-half.

Embarrassing loss after how bad DePaul looked in the first half. Time for a change. I look forward to Casual Hoya’s response.
