So is rysheed gonna come down with the flu now that we are playing at CA?
 
This game will be very telling to me. Could we get our first winning streak in league play, or back to the drawing board?
This game will be on campus, so no excuses that oh it's a tough road game.

I'm very interested to watch this game. To me it's our last chance to make a run at a ncaa bid (unless anyone thinks we'll win 2 or 3 in the B.E. Tourny.)

If we lose at home to Depaul we lose our biggest asset for an NCAA berth...the RPI.
We can't afford to lose and we won't. 16-8, 5-6.

No flu but the story will be he slipped on the ice after Monday's ice storm and fractured his skull and is in a coma and will miss one game and be back for Zavier on Saturday.
 
With Dom and Jordan playing the best ball of their careers and Harrison finally looking healthy (back to himself) we "should" win this by double digits and hopefully take some momentum to the road for huge games against Xavier and Gtown. If we lose at home to Depaul we don't deserve an NCAA bid and will need to win the BET to get in.

I think our NCAA hopes died with the losses to DePaul and Creighton. With the tough part of the schedule coming up after the DePaul gam, the NIT is a probability.

If we get swept by DePaul, we don't deserve to be an NCAA team. Even with a much improved DePaul team. Early in the season I made the "profound" statement we had to win the games we should win and we'd be fine. We haven't so far. But this game at CA is a drop dead must win.

If Jordan is even 50% as good as he played on Saturday, we are not only an NCAA team, but a dangerous one.
 
Fully expect a win here. We should've beaten them in their building. As surprising as they have been if we play te way we did yesterday then this should be a double digit victory.

9 pm start?....FS1 killing me on a work night.

CBS Sports Network actually, but yeah, that should kill the crowd.

I actually prefer this to the noon starts, but I'm in the vast minority on that.
 
One thing that will help the Johnnie's is that Billy Garrett will not shoot 13 for 13 from the FT line again.

the key is not to put him on the line 13 times He is a great clutch FT shooter and has killed us in the past protecting the lead by eating clock and drawing the foul as the SC winds down. We can avoid that by jumping to an early lead and pulling away late.
 
The way I see it...

DePAUL Queens, N.Y. (Carnesecca Arena)… Must Win (5-6)
Sat. Feb. 14 • at Xavier Cincinnati, Ohio (Cintas Center) …. Lose (5-7)
Tues. Feb. 17 • at Georgetown Washington, D.C. (Verizon Center) Lose (5-8)
Sat. Feb. 21 • SETON HALL Queens, N.Y. (Carnesecca Arena) … Must Win (6-8)
Mon. Feb. 23 • XAVIER New York, N.Y. (Madison Square Garden) … Split these 2 (7-9)
Sat. Feb. 28 • GEORGETOWN New York, N.Y. (Madison Square Garden) …(7-9)
Wed. March 4 • at Marquette Milwaukee, Wis. (Bradley Center) …Must Win (8-9)
Sat. March 7 • at Villanova … Would be nice but probably lose (8-10)

19-12 needing 2 wins in Big East Tourney to get in. The more wins against top 50 will help, i.e beating either G-Town or Xavier twice or a Nova win. Lot's of work to do that starts tonight. Would be great to win at either G-Town X.

8-10 in conference I feel STJ would need to win the BE tourney to get in.
