    or if Dom Cheek didn't totally suck :lol::lol::lol: was at Hawks so didn't see any of the Nova game. Cheek is just an absolute brick layer from 3. suprised Jay still lets him fire away. and when was the last time Nova was the 5th best team in the city?

    right now I'd rank the city like this: 1-Temple, 2-LaSalle, 3-Drexel, 4-Hawks, 5-Nova and 6-Penn

    going to be a good one on saturday Johnny. Not sure the Hawks will have enough to pull out a close one at the end but hoping they have a shot late. hawks looked better last night with win over Dayton although Dayton helped but missing a ton of 3-pointers. Aiken and Roberts were outstanding last night. Roberts is a beast in the post. Hope we can get it to him all day saturday.

    If Eric regains form I think the Owls are headed for a few blowout wins, especially at home (pretty much all their home games were blowouts last year; we underestimated what Lavoy Allen meant to that team). But Big 5 games tend to be tougher for whatever reason.

    i meant to ask what you thought of martelli at this point. looked like it could be a promising season...now a disappointment?

    i didn't expect to win at Temple but they way it happened is just unacceptable.
    phil has done great things on hawk hill but the glory days are 8 years out, last ncaa bid 5 years ago and without jameer only 2 ncaa's in the other 13 years. some other numbers on top of 10 straight losses to temple, 6-21 in the last 27 vs. city opponents, 1-6 in his last 7 game against IVY league opponents...ivy league :evil: - 3 years after completion of a $50 million dollar facilities renovation and the highest per game ticket prices in the city ($30.00 a game plus mandatory donation for season ticket holders) phil has produced 2 20-loss seasons and now after a very promising 10-3 start the season has turned again. the talent in the program this year is better than what the record shows and he is flat out not getting the best out of it. the only player is who playing equal or better today than they did in december is Ron Roberts. they rest have all stagnated or regressed. getting thumped and having Ramone Moore be quoted as saying he thought the hawks would have more fire is telling. how can you not have fire playing a rival who has kcked your ass 9 straight times and whose fans mocked and laughed at you last year. i don't get it at all. all i want is to win, whether that is with phil or not. ill take it either way but personally i thnk the program in general would be better off with new direction although the only way that is going to happen is if phil resigns because his contract still runs through 2016. and the fan base is getting extremely restless.

    except finding a high level replacement for a college hoops coach is much easier than an NFL coach.

    and andy hasn't had 2 of the worst seasons in franchise history like Phil did the past two seasons. phil's past 2 seasons was the 2nd lowest winning % over a 2-year period since like 1950. and the worse was Jim Boyle's last 2 seasons in 1989-1990 and he was forced out.

    why people think it's so hard to find a coach who can average more than 8-9 wins a year is pretty weird to me. seems like you have to hit absolute rock bottom to get fired in this town. :lol:

    Why? Other teams seem to find good coaches all the time. Sorry to bring this argument into the awesome Big 5 thread - I'm done.

    Yup - thanks for moving it over there.

    I'm more excited about the Owls right now than I've been all year - I think this team can really put a run together. Just keeping shaping up that resume. 8-)
