Patrick Phillips leaves team

[BGDrew]

Things look so bleak right now that I think the only thing that might help our men's basketball program right now is maybe Jesus himself took over....and thats a big maybe. I just want the freakin bleeding to stop once and for all. I need some hope for our once excellent mens basketball program.

There's a lot bigger things in life than basketball.

Ain't that the truth. If my only meaning in life was the BG men's basketball team , I might have killed myself years a while ago. Thank goodness it isnt'.

Anybody who actually graduates isn't leaving early. If true, best of luck to Patrick. He didn't get a lot of playing time, but we'll miss those baskets in the paint on those tight curls.

Well done! Don't know if I would have put the time in as a walk on with no playing time (OK, I wouldn't have). Says alot about him that he would work so hard for so little "glory" (not meant to be negative). Then he finishes his class work, graduates and decides to move on... for himself. Well Done, indeed.

As far as hoops goes, he wasn't the most talented guy on the team, but I think he will be missed. Whenever he got on the floor this year he made the most of it, and often provided some energy (and quite frankly, he might have been our best player "with his back to the basket").

Best of luck, Pat.
