Warren doesn’t typically force shots, and he cleans up on the offensive glass … I’m interested to see what this ‘plan’ is. ‘Stop’ and ‘Warren’ don’t really go together.
Big guys are going to be huge tonight. Hoping for a lot from our quadruplet (Vberg, Anya, Freeman, Washington) … Think we’re gonna need some Washington + Freeman buckets.
TN has had a foul called for them on 5 of their last 6 possessions.
McCaffery has to be ready to throw a patented McCaffery tirade.
This seems to confirm that the reason why Al Skinner was let go at BC was b/c DeFilippo was insane:

“Change is good sometimes,” he said at the time. “How many basketball coaches have been in the same position for 13 years? Very, very few.””
Makes me feel bad for what happened to Skinner …
As to the job itself, Tommy Amaker back in the ACC against K?
http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2014/03/19/safest-ncaa-pick-tommy-amaker-will-leave-for/L0KIHukP0EsBlBzMgSUjWN/story.htmlIs it wrong that I’m pulling against SMU?
Haha, I’d actually be concerned if any Pack fan weren’t pulling against SMU after these past few days.
it doesn’t look like he’s working hard to score …
^I think this has a ton to do with it. A shame. Journalists are never lazy though, nor do they ever go for the easy story-line 🙂
He makes it look so easy, that sometimes you don’t even really appreciate how hard he is working.
^There was a tweet last night from that pretentious blowhard DeCourcy that made it clear he had watched exactly 0 of our/Warren’s games this season.
(Paraphrasing) He said Xavier was not playing any D and not making TJ ‘work’. For shame. That’s all the kid does. His motor is always going and he puts himself in the best possible position ALL THE TIME on offense *and* defense (2 steals a game – hello?). Too bad he doesn’t always get credit for it, moreover his hapless opponents get ripped for not “working hard enough”.
DeCourcy’s (and I’m sure many other journalist ‘experts’) logic is that Warren is primary focus of opposing defenses, yet when Warren takes over it’s because those defenses just “didn’t work hard enough”. Some people. I just …
How ’bout just giving the kid credit for the special talent that he is? If his name was Harrison Barnes and he wore blue every expert journalist out there would be on their knees. Warren gets a lot of love – don’t get me wrong. I just don’t understand where ‘logic’ like this comes from …
Am I the only one around here annoyed by the avatar of wufpup76?
Sorry to hear that.
Xavier tonight:
I just had to find a way to get this image in here … can’t stop laughing.
Oops – wrong thread 🙁
Gott just said on the postgame that Cat has been pushing a fever of 100+ all day and throwing up … was unavailable for 2nd half
What is this? An itty bitty titty convention?
^Whatever works. She’s pretty (eyes are unbelievable) and she’ll be with us in Orlando.
Tip time is approx. 7:20pm on Thurs evening
should Gott put Cat in… now?
^I guess not, but when it was a three point game and Lewis got absolutely left behind on D I admit that my panic reaction was ‘Cat – now!’.
