I agree with the Weave.

I can't vote for banning mortyg, yet.....First, because he/she/it hasn't outright attacked anyone....secondly, i'm starting to finding the rants mildly amusing.

However....i do take umbridge with the season being classified as "extremely disappointing"....One will note that the WCC coaches pre-season poll listed the broncos at 4th (and only had bryant on the pre-season first team..welcome Foster)...John Wilner picked the broncos no better than 5th (i...

I think that KK wanted the flexability to bring in whoever he wanted and thus the loss of Tiedmann and Gundserson. Now if he would have forseen the injuries we would have this year maybe he keeps those guys around. Hindsight is 20/20 though

I also found that to be the most ludicrous point in Mortyg's rant. Not only was it only Walters 2nd league win, but he was also dumb enough to get a Technical with the game on the line.

Rawhide,
As a blindly loyal supporter of Davey, I will be the first to admit that his biggest weakness was recruiting. I give Keating credit that the talent level certainly seems to be on the rise. I also think it's ridiculous for...

The injuries are really hurting this team right now; we have no depth whatsoever because of the injuries and prior recruiting mishaps. I find it very discouraging that we basically have 1 player we can use from the prior era. Right now we are playing and practicing with 7 scholarship players. This is huge in that we can not practice effectively, having Foster, Petty, etc going up against a walk on does no good. It is hurting our development right now.

I am not as disappointed as...

His rants are almost impossible to understand and he is completely negative. He's like "The Bizarro World" version of Bronco66. Why would anyone want to have that blocked?

Outstanding retort! Sites such as this for Bay Area Basketball Junkies, Jesuit Alumni, and SCU Alumnis are outstanding and necessary! I feel for the fans, students, and current players! This season can be categorized as extremely disappointing and coach kk as "less than". Again, all the best in 2010-2011. Odds are Rex Walters will be in the PAC-10, perhaps UCLA, by then and kk willl not have to fear his omnipotence!

I don't like thinking about the years ahead but rather what is now. But when I think of the now, I can't help but think of the time wasted in the first half of the season. Not only would we be a much better team now, but that much further along for the years to come. All of this falls on the shoulders of KK and if you want to review his performance don't think of the Dons game last night but reflect on the first half of the season.

How is it that Johnson ever started...

Took a long time last night to get over that loss. Was at the game and it was quite the heartbreaker. First off, yeah morty needs 2 go. Getting a bit absurd...Traz looked great. The kid was shooting out of his mind. Foster looked awesome. That kid will be a major roll player for us in the coming years. He needs to put on a few lbs and get stronger, but he has some great moves to the rim and has a sweet jumper. Refs were a bit out of line calling the foul at the end of regulation on USF...

It would be Traz' ability to hit uncontested mid range shots; with a healthy Rahon and a less reticent Traz,' doubling hard and early on JB becomes very difficult. It would have been more helpful if it were earlier in the season.That having been said, the offense in late game, have to get some points, half court sets is maddening. You see the same problems watching UCLA in tight games at the end, but they can get away with it more with players like Collison and Holiday. Turnovers (18...

I would of had this game as a pick'em if I knew Rahon was not going to play, so the outcome is not surprising. The silver lining would be Trasolini. Traz looked great tonight. His ability to put the ball in the basket will determine how the team compensates for the loss of Big John next year. I remember when Denison started to show flashes at the end of the Freshman year and I consider Trasolini to be further along than he was. Foster and Rahon will be scary from the outside with a true...

No one should be surprised by the result of this game. We have gone full circle. Remember the first half of the season with Petty, Johnson, and Santos playing major minutes and starting. That was KK's choice. Like before and now, these guys cannot get it done against even the lowly Dons.

Congratulations to Foster for breaking the freshmen scoring record and great to see Traz have a big night. Bryant was Bryant.

Its not the player's lack of depth, its coach (sorry, its the required title for the guy at the head of the bench...no insult to Caroll Williams intended) kk's lack of leadership and strategic insight. Much more could be said, but, the score speaks for itself!! "Vini, Vici, VAYA"!

PS: The only run coach kk could give Mark Few is "to the shower". Make the change! Alumni need to step up and not let the program dawdle for 2 more years! Recruits will be lost...

Came home from a nice dinner and saw the last three minutes of regulation and then overtime.

With Rahon out, the Broncos lack of depth is exposed. It is painful to watch Santos out there, he is just really in above his head.

Why do the Broncos stand around and not move on offense when there is still 2-3 minutes left in a game? The lead was not big enough to run the clock down.

This one hurts but can be attributed to the turnover of personnel in the...
