Wonder if Valpo can pay Powell Jr. more than he makes at Gonzaga? Wasn’t this a concern last year when his name was being mentioned on this board for the ISU opening?
My sources have said that Kyle B stated that he spoke to RP jr. for over two hours and never felt like he “connected” with him.Wonder if Valpo can pay Powell Jr. more than he makes at Gonzaga? Wasn’t this a concern last year when his name was being mentioned on this board for the ISU opening?

Lamonica pointed out in his Bird Fans 4 Ever interview that the terrible call followed another terrible call that gave DePaul the ball when it should have belonged to us. I was at the game but didn't remember that.I dn't want to come off as a prick or a know-it-all, butI'm a little bit 'sprised that nobody corrected the inferences in the first few posts in this thread that the horrendous 3-point gift came in the 1978-79 DePaul game at Horton.
In fact, in January of 1979 DePaul had a Final Four team that beat the Redbirds 87-69. The controversial 3-pointer ended the final game played at Horton in December of 1989 and resulted in a one point win for the visitors; but it was indeed one of the most horseshit calls in college basketball history.

Did the blown 3-point call make the SportsCenter top 10 list for the day? I have a vague recollection that it made the list, but if I'm being honest, many of the things I think I remember from college probably never happened. Too much time at the Cellar, I reckon.
I was there. It was a much closer call than most think.I dn't want to come off as a prick or a know-it-all, butI'm a little bit 'sprised that nobody corrected the inferences in the first few posts in this thread that the horrendous 3-point gift came in the 1978-79 DePaul game at Horton.

This was 1988. I'm not sure there was a SC top 10 list that early. But I could be wrong! BTW...your last 2 lines? FANTASTICO!Lamonica pointed out in his Bird Fans 4 Ever interview that the terrible call followed another terrible call that gave DePaul the ball when it should have belonged to us.

If memory serves, DePaul had a previous loss that season when the refs missed the call on a 3-pointer toward the end of that game. After the egregious call that went in his favor at the end of the ISU game, Joey Meyer said something to the effect of the call "maybe balancing things out." Not only was T. Greene clearly inside the line, it should have been ISU's ball on the missed out-of-bounds call preceding the play. To top it off, the refs quickly looked at each other after Greene's basket, looking for help on the call, and the one closest to Greene then threw his hands up to signal a "3" and high-tailed it off the court. It was an incorrect call, unprofessionally executed in a chicken$#!+ fashion.I was there. It was a much closer call than most think.
The call wasn't even close to being correct....
Were you drinking?I was there. It was a much closer call than most think.
Precisely. Even better: What if the left heel is on the line, the right foot is completely inside the line and on the floor, and the shooter is leaning forward at the point of release? That, ladies and gentlemen, is not...even...close. My vantage point was halfway up the upper deck at that end of the floor, with a view looking down at Greene and the basket in almost a straight line. My roommates and I immediately called BS; unfortunately, we didn't get to make the call. Probably the most gut-wrenching loss of my time as an undergrad, having a W taken away in such a manner on our home court.Is a heel on the line the same call as a toe on the line?
