The main thing on my mind: this feels weird but SO gratifying. Old SJ loses this game in heartbreaker & we’re officially in portal season. Pitino SJ stomps a bubble team in their own house to force us back on bubble. We should win out although GTown always gives me at least a bit of worry. I think we get into NCAAT if we win out reg season & win at least 1 BET game. Am I wrong to think we may have a greater than 50% chance of getting in even just winning out reg & losing BET game?
 
Great, decisive win! Was waiting for the wheels to fall off, as they did with the Seton Hall game, but the guys never let up. Very much back on the bubble!
 
Thinking about this team this morning. I really thought our NCAAT hopes were finished after the loss @Providence. Throw in the Seton Hall meltdown after that? Forget about it. I was sure this team was done.

Will we make the tournament, I still do not know. Things have to play out.

But I do want to just take a moment to thank Rick and this team for the fact that, after we became a national story for Rick's postgame comments, this team banded together and won three straight games including dominating the #15 team in the country. It says a lot about the group of guys we have in that locker room. It says a lot about the leadership we have in that locker room from the staff.

Again.. will we make the tournament? I know that is the barometer of success for many (including me!). But even if we don't, I am still gonna ride this high of us potentially (barring anything unforeseen) enter the Big East Tournament on a FIVE game win streak, firing on all cylinders, and for the first time in seemingly decades, a real threat to make a play for the BET championship game.

LFG
 
Nice win, good to beat Posh too. I think if we win next 2 and win 2 in Big East to be safe we are in NCAAs. If we win out regular season and win 1 Big East not so sure but either way we did punch a ticket to at least the NIT barring some crazy collapse. Post-season basketball for the first time since Coach Mullin tenure will be appreciated and only help make the young players better.

We cannot have any letdowns against Georgetown or DePaul. Have to win both. We tend to play Georgetown better at Home so I am hoping this win would be more convincing.
 
my biggest takeaway from the last two games (Georgetown W aside) is we played with much more intensity on defense, and made hustle and effort plays. Finally, after all that preaching, CRP is getting through to them. Still think the Rant should have been humbler and dialed back however, it lit a fire.
I still think he did that on purpose to get through to the team. Anyways the play has been better ever since.

Good thing we don't have players with highly sensitive feelings that got hurt. Had we'd been a ivy league school all shit would have broke loose after that tirade.
 
Can we for the love of god stop talking about posh
you're in a butler game thread where we just played against a former player who played here for 3 years. Maybe just dont click on this thread? You have to know what you're getting in here, right?

You literally are replying to a poster who was discussing the GAME and how Jenkins did against the opposing teams point guard! Get a grip
