It’s so funny to watch the game, know we will win comfortably, go back and read the ambiguous doom and gloom that acts like we are down 50 to the worst team ever, and then someone posts a score update showing us up 20

Well that’s one way to look at it but I see it more as a sincere warning of the potential poor play when it will count. To be honest, the lopsided score was primarily due to the fact that without Mitchell in the game for much of the second half, Zuby was able to score at will against no one.

Win or lose this game there were several red flags that this team will not get away with against better competition. If the team played this way against a middling Big East team, they lose this game. If you are happy with lousy play that results in a big win against a team of that level then more power to ya.
 
Not sure if this was mentioned already…there were some post game fireworks after the game on the handshake line…looked like Mitchell and Smith had words and were separated…then Masiello got involved and was going after someone

Or one way to look at it is that statistically we are #13 and #14 on two of the most respected sites.

We were projected to win this game 88-68. Our defense didn’t hold up but I honestly expected that with a high 3 point shooting variance. Our offense did more than enough to dominate and cover the spread but instead this board would rather spend 2 pages focusing on 1 of 3 Kadary turnovers, who admittedly and statistically was our only below average player who played over 10 minutes. But all I’m asking for is a little perspective.

This is our best team since 1999 and I know a lot of us are hurt from the last 25 years (me I was 5 when we won our last NCAA tournament game so I truly have never seen them advance) and especially last year when we were left out of the dance, but come on people. Enjoy the ride and celebrate this team rather than acting like every turnover or missed 3 is a slight against you personally.

post of the day
 
Richmond knows the next step is the draft. I certainly don’t know for sure, but I expect him to step up to the plate when it matters most. He should know what’s at stake. It sucks, but such is the nature of the beast nowadays.

I missed most of the game unfortunately but gat dayum that dunk from Smith. I knew he could jump but that was something.

I don’t see the NBA in his future. RJ, Sim, Aaron, Maker, and even Brady have better chances IMO.
 
Don't have Peacock so could watch.

They were down 2 in the 2nd half and won by 22.

Just going to say a casual good win, and now on to conf play.

Gotta play a better 1st half.

Games like this happen.
#5 Kentucky is only up 38-36 at the half against (2-8) Colgate.

Kentucky was up for it though. They scored the first 17 points. After that, they probably took their foot off the gas (and I'm sure Pope started doing some subbing).

Still, we’ve all seen a lot of college basketball over the years. Games like tonight are a dime a dozen every single year.
