I somehow missed that Denzel Valentine’s older brother is the coach at Loyola. I thought it was Denzel and did a double take.

[Cal's] Opening statement: “Sad day. Not just we lose a game. It’s that this season ended with this group and how much joy they brought to me and our staff. And I’ll just say one thing; that you have an eight-point lead, and I’m a guy that’s been through a lot of these, you have an eight-point lead with three minutes to go, you win the game.

“So I really don’t need to know, well, this guy did that and that guy did this and this and this and this. We had an eight-point lead with three-some to go. I’m not taking away from Saint Peter’s. They deserved to win the game. They fought the entire time.

“But that’s how I feel about it; that, you know, these guys put us in a position to win the game. Let’s finish it off.”
Your honor, may I introduce into the motherfucking evidence, the following motherfucking Exhibit 1-A.

poor, poor cal
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

this is exactly why i thought putting the starters back in after their 8-0 run last night was the right call. none of us want to be having the cal conversation the day after blowing something like that. what's worse: don't put the starters back in and we end up losing, or putting them back in and one gets injured?

Also, if you don't put then in there it's even harder to do it 5 minutes later with a smaller lead.

Yeah, I think when TXSO went on their little run, the closest they got was 21 right before the TO and subbing starters back in. That was only concerning to Vegas.

No W/L concern, but I still agree with Self putting them back in for messaging.

by all indications that would have been about 15 seconds after the starters were subbed back in. that 8 point run didn't take 45 seconds off the clock.

We went from like up 33 to up 21.

I'm fine with how Self played it.

Today's games suck ass so far. Hopefully all of this is reserving drama for a truly ignominious end to K's career.
