[quote="Jack Williams" post=328078][quote="Porgyman" post=328077]Say what you want about the Hall. I’m definitely not a fan, but I must give them credit. They bring it every game, both offense and defense. If we played with half of the passion that they play with, we would be in great shape. 18-0 run by SH. 73-64 Final.[/quote]
You’ve caught them on their good days then. They’ve had plenty of duds this year which is why their are in the precarious position they are in[/quote]
Honestly, I’ve caught most of their games. Even when they toss in a stinker, they never give up and don’t stop trying. The intensity difference between us and them over a full 40 minutes is stark.

Agree, Jack. We did the same thing to Marquette earlier.
Now we gotta hope Villanova beats Seton Hall this weekend or we're likely headed to Wednesday night in the Big East Tournament. Reason I said "likely" is I'm not confident we win on Saturday.
Rooting for DePaul and Creighton in these last two games this evening.

Marquette has lost 3 in a row. But look at how they have lost them. They led all 3 at the under 5 minute mark including tonight by 9. They have been outscored 46-9 combined in the last 5 minutes of each of these 3 losses. They got outscored 18-0 to end tonight, from up 9 to down 9.

[quote="ron " post=328092][quote="Room112" post=328091]I know this board loves Ewing as a coach, but his team just fouled the 3 pointe shooter twice in the first four minutes of the game.[/quote]
I bet we lead the conference in fouling the 3 point shooter.[/quote]
Do we lead the conference in number of fouls committed? If so, then probably yes. It certainly seems like we do.

Yea our hopes are hinging on nova on the other two teams you mentioned. Would be nice if we could step up and help ourselves but like you I’m not holding my breath

[quote="Room112" post=328094]Announcers just said Georgetown was goofing off during warmups and not taking them serious. Sounds like something our fans made fun of our team for recently.[/quote]
Strus continuing his hot shooting. Georgetown has already fouled three seperate 3-point shooters in this game. DePaul is kicking Georgetown's ass.

That's crazy. Fatigue? Poor coaching down the stretch?

[quote="Jack Williams" post=328076]It’s easy to see why we swept Marquette, they can’t handle pressure to their guards which we provide[/quote]
It's pretty obvious that Marquette and Villanova are our two best matchups in the Big East. The fact that they are the two best teams are meaningless, just like it's meaningless that Depaul and Providence might be the worst teams in the league. They're still two of our worst matchps.

Howard completely disappeared in this game. We needed a Seton Hall loss here since we're battling them on the bubble[/quote]
About two weeks ago, the announcers who were doing a Marquette game, mentioned that Howard was playing through a hip pointer injury. He has not looked the same since.
He really should consider shutting it down for the regular season finale, and the Big East Tournament, in preparation for an NCAA Tournament run. It might be the best thing for him, and the entire Marquette team.
