St John’s / Providence Fight

didnt see it but my inclination is to blame Slick Rick. He's poison to anything.

Not here. Duncan Powell is a complete, total thug.

Why would they do that...poor sports

Can't see English back

If he wasn’t gone before this game, he certainly is now. What an embarrassment for PC.

PC was already down with Edwards and Floyd out. Then that mess knocks out Sellers and Powell with them leading by 1. Jones ejected later. What a shit show. Donors get their NIL money back? Could’ve just thrown it out a window.

Really stupid, Providence had just taken the lead over a Top 25 team and then this boneheaded (he has the haircut for it) play.

I’m waiting to see how many #PDS we get arising from this fight. So far we got one on the other thread and one on this one. @shupat08: get your tracker ready and we can wager.

Another reason to not allow transfers in conference without a sit out year. Pitino took Seton Hall and Providence’s best player in back to back years.

Haven’t watched a second of this game. Who else got tossed?

Guess the Yankees should just drill Soto every team he gets up against them

He might possibly have the worst haircut i’ve ever seen

This felt like the end of a long decline of the program that’s started when Cooley checked out around Tournament time to go to Gtown. Ever since then it’s been one thing after another: Hiring Kim English, Hopkins getting hurt, missing the tournament in ‘24. Hopkins sitting out most of the next season while taking NIL money, Hopkins transferring to SJU, more losing this year, and this felt like the bottoming out. Time for PC to go back to the drawing board.

Per the NYPost Powell, who appeared to throw a punch at St John’s Dillon Mitchell after the hard foul, was ejected from the game. Providence’s Jaylin Sellers was also ejected. The Red Storm’s Mitchell, Kelvin Odih, Ruben Prey and Lefteris Liotopoulous were tossed for their roles in the brawl.

And they purposely tried to injure Zuby with a non basketball shove to back play when game was over. Resulting in another ejection. English should be canned. He lost control of his team and could have seriously injured players. very low class display by a program in shambles.

The coach is the biggest culprit. Providence administrators should be embarrassed

Those refs were allowing a very physical game prior to the melee. St. John's, the more physical team, was getting the benefit of those swallowed whistles in a big way. Perhaps it led to frustration for Providence. I don't like when there's too tight a whistle but in a very physical game you can keep order by actually calling clear fouls. This officiating crew did not, even after the fight! A lot of the blame for the fracas should be laid at their feet. I hope the conference will look at this.

That thug from Providence looks like he's about 30 years old. Still playing college ball? Everything that's wrong with the sport in one image.

Doesn't look like it. I've never heard of him prior to today.

I don’t think he needs your ceaseless protection here. Most who saw it would agree that the PC kids were at fault.

“Purposely tried to injure” is overstating it, of course. It was a frustration foul, and he deserved the ejection, but don’t get carried away like you always do.

The irony here is unbearable.
