A backhanded congratulations if there ever was one. Remember that for the last 25 years no one gave a crap that the game “was in our backyard”.

Some random Creighton guy on Twitter, who cares. If you saw McDermott's comments that guy is all class.

I made a mental note of that at the time because I wanted to see how wrong he would be. This team is incredible and Rick Pitino is amazing

I guess they didn’t do their jobs.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen Monte lately.

Monte was in the hospital. He’s out for now but has had major back problems

I agree with you 100 percent . The T wasn’t a bang , bang play call like a block or charge .

It happened after a made 3 point shot from RJ . The 3 finger salute is common place in today’s game . Breeding should know that …

RJ was back pedaling down Court after the shot , when he flashed the sign . Why was Breeding watching him , instead of the Blue Jays trying to inbound the ball?

Of course , Refs , Umpires , etc are human but , they are trained to call fouls , out of bounds , rules of BB , not Celebratory signals .

It was not a taunting gesture , any more than Ashworth doing his Quiet the Crowd gesture or , deliberately shoving Smith to the floor violently ?

No , Breeding has to bear heat for that poor judgment at a critical time in the game .

Especially given the history of being involved in the Seton Hall game "inadvertent whistle" with LJ.

As I am currently continuing to celebrate with an Elijah Craig 18, I absolutely feel your pain.

And it was great to see you tonight!

Nice pour! I celebrated with Johnnie Walker Blue. I've got a bottle of George T Stagg that I have been waiting for a special occasion to open, and when the season's over I'm going to.

One word describes it all for me - EUPHORIA!!!!!

The one thing every team in the BE feared was SJU becoming relevant again. For years, we couldn’t get arrested, other teams taking over the Garden. Now, we’re back on top, and it scares the crap out of them. Good!

Hazard of making his kind of "films" i guess.

Feel better, Monte!

This was in the first half. I don't recall a tech being called.

Pretty easy to figure out why.

I wish that was the reason. Purely old age!

No sympathy from me on that M, feel better buddy.

We have come a long way from sitting together watching Max Hooper’s fatal “crab” play to protect ball leading to Providence win.

It’s in half the league’s backyard. It’s also the first or second biggest alumni base for almost every team we face at home all year. No other team has to deal with 3,000+ opposing fans in league games.

Ashworth isn't that guy. Never was. This board would be apoplectic if we had a leading guard shoot below 40% from the field with 3.5 turnovers per game.

Very good college player too. And I think he’s borderline dirty and hate the other “antics”. But IMO he stepped up big time this year and is their second best player

 

[Goose]

I'm not an old head, so take this for what it's worth - that's the best SJ crowd I've ever been a part of. It was absolutely deafening when we made our 2H runs.

NCAAT is a crapshoot, and who knows how far we will advance. But, I'll remember last night's game forever. So thankful to have been there.

I'm not sure how high a team's ceiling is if he's your number two guy. If he's your third or fourth guy (as Creighton built consecutive rosters with), you're in good shape.

He would have been if Isaac’s hadn’t gone down. That was a big blow to their season.

When Pop Isaac’s went down, he became their #2 player. McDermott is a great coach.

Absolutely. He's just not a guy who should have the ball in his hands as much as he had, and his shooting gives a lot of space on the floor but he's not as knock down as one would expect. Frankly, he's the type of "missing piece" for our roster that would vault us into #1 status.

But he's definitely not a top two guy on a top 25 team.
