Crazy Thoughts

[beast of the east]

Not that this wouldn't be monumentally tough, but if this roller coaster squad manages two road wins at Xavier and G'Town, we follow that up with 3 homes games that would all appear winnable.

One game at a time rule must predominate, but Lavin's teams have had a knack for late season runs.

Like I said, crazy thoughts, but a nice way to start my work day.

If we win one of these next two I'll be pleased. It's very hard to win at Xavier, although Creighton did it so not impossible. And Georgetown, I've never witnessed us beat Georgetown at their place. Never. So it'll be a big challenge. I'm looking forward to these games though.

Go redmen!

was the last time we won at GTown 2003?

when we were down 16 second half and came back?...Hatten dropped 35 that day

if we go 5-2 from here until BE tourney we are in! 4-3 with a win in tourney we are in. I think 21 wins is our number. Just my thoughts.

I love this team right now and the way they are playing. But, if we don't get Obepka back for the next two games then Amar and JDR will have to play their asses off for us to win either of these two games on the road.

Did obekpas condition worsen? I bet he's fine for Saturday. I thought he'd play last night

Ankle sprains for me get worse before they get better. With a weeks rest, it should be at 80pct.

LAvin is trying to squeeze JDR into a phone booth to don a cape. Would be fun to watch ADR match up against Smith.

5-2 and 4-3 we still need a BET win

6-1 would put us in even with BET loss

anything less than 4-3 we would need to win BET

Georgetown board already talking about our game against them;

One game at a time. Xavier can be had, we just have to bring our "A" to "B+" game. Road wins are very sweet.

One thing this crappy team does is manage to keep most of our hopes alive.

JDR may not give us much offensively, but I think he can provide good minutes on defense against Stainbeck and Smith, which is all we need from him. We need our four perimiter players to keep producing.

Team will go as far as Harrison carries them. He has become a great leader to go along with being a great player. A guy like that can make up for a multitude of defects. See Dwight Hardy and Marcus Hatten for a couple of other examples of players who succeeded without a coach (to paraphrase Baron Davis).

This kid deserves the Ncaa Tourney so much, he has grown up. Need to grind out wins , it would be terrible for him to go out in the NIT

Now that we've accomplished the first step of this crazy thought, might as well continue it. While losing at Georgetown doesn't destroy all hopes for the season, a win would be monumental. A win would for the moment gild the path to a tournament bid. Beat Georgetown, and a sweep of three home games would almost cement an NCAA bid. Win at Georgetown, and we could conceivably win 2 of the 3 straight home games and still be a strong contender.

Lose to Georgetown Tuesday, and we'll have the pressure of sweeping the 3 home games.

This is what good teams do. They seize an opportunity when it's in front of them. Sweeping two away games against good teams is a crazy thought. Crazier things have happened, and I'd love to see what happens to our home attendance if we do beat the Hoyas.

Go redmen!

I'm already pleased. I'll be shocked if we beat Georgetown. But we are playing such good ball right now, why not?

Beat the Hoyas !

Would be the perfect ending to a great story. I am beyond proud to have him represent my school. He is proof that with hard work and determination that people can change and not be an eternal victim of life. He has truly become one of my favorite players of all time. A nice run through the NCAAs is deserving for sure.
