Even when we have a good team we rarely win a game in this tournament. This year we stink. Enough said.An overly optimistic thought about our possible road ahead. Our path to winning the Big East Tournament and getting the automatic NCAA bid is four wins over these likely opponents:
1) Marquette
2) Xavier
3) Seton Hall
4) Villanova
While the odds of this happening are off the charts astronomical, the strange thing is that we were in 7 of our 8 loses against these four opponents. In fact we could have won most of those games with a better break or two. I know this is way too positive a perspective given our abysmal 1 and 17 conference season, but a guy can dream can't he.
To quote Jim Valvano "survive and advance"
Go St. John's!
Maybe the Costanza effect will apply.
