#20 Marquette, Sat., Mar. 8, 12 Noon, FOX

I am kind of expecting a loss tomorrow just due to the circumstances. Hope to be wrong of course.

As much as we hope the team will remain focused on this game after clinching the regular season, I just think Marquette will have a little more edge to them. Now with smith out I believe that even more. And it’s already not easy to win at their place

I hope we play a good game and have a chance to win late.

I think Marquette and, if we play them, Xavier, will be very very difficult games for us.

Not worried about first two rounds in the NCAAs though.

Many moons ago I tried fasting on Good Friday, but always cheated.

Aaron Scott also tried to fast with Sadiku Ibine Ayo in support, but it was too physically taxing after a couple of days.

Maybe, just maybe it wouldn’t be the worse thing to get a bad loss out the way. Bad meaning a double digit or even a multi possession defeat. 4 losses by a total of 7 points. Every loss with a chance in final seconds. Unheard of for SJU, even it’s greatest teams to go through an entire season.

I’m in the camp of win every game you play, but even Pitino said the best thing that could have happened to his 1996 Kentucky team was to lose before the NCAA tournament.

that's very fair without Smith

I’m not gonna lie when I saw you had quoted my above post I was expecting to read something like this

Not the time to try fasting. Give up ice cream and lets load up on carbs and be ready for Saturday!!!

Kadary's first fast break of the season.

Fasting is no joke they don’t even drink water until after sun down so obviously hydration becomes a serious issues as these guys crap up as it is. Was watching a player a few days ago eating and drinking on the bench who had fasted and he had very sub par game for him finishing with just one point.

I've decided without Smith we are still winning.

74-68 end of story

And if I have 3 beers at Canz that goes to 76

Very familiar. My longest water fast was 33 days. No food at all...had coffee the first 3 days.

Interesting, most of the members here fast regularly, in between bites.
