[quote="oldschool Redmen" post=301050][quote="Paultzman" post=301005][quote="SJU1512" post=301002]Important to get this one with the type of ease we got Loyola.
Then a week to get ready not just for Rutgers but 3 games in 5 days with Cal and Temple/VCU. This is one of the critical pockets on the schedule that team may look back and regret if not handled well. 3-0 preferable, 2-1 almost required. 1 on the road and 2 in an NBA arena - not easy![/quote]
Anticipating a relatively easy win tonight, but with a week off I hope the team does not take Rutgers lightly. A road game at the RAC & a good coach in Steve P should have them focused. Yes, Rutgers will struggle in Big10 this year, but let’s not be their Super Bowl. A solid win there would help Johnnies gain confidence playing on the road, unlike last year.[/quote]
lol @ "but let’s not be their Super Bowl." People are thinking that we're far superior.
But why? Can someone tell me what exactly we have done? We never been a top25 team, never went to a ncaa game, nor a single NIT game under Mullin.
What are we basing this on? Hype? Hype doesn't mean jack S* to me.
What matters to me is getting on the floor and no matter how garbage a team is or how elite a team is, just go all out and play hard, never underestimate anyone, respect all opponents.
If you're so much better then an opponent, don't get bored, go all out and end it by halftime.
Buster Douglas KO'd Tyson, last year the first #1 (uva) team losers to a #16. Upsets happens.
Don't be a victim.[/quote]
