DePaul Game

Really hard to be happy about this win. We were dominated in the 2nd half.

Not particularly happy how we played midway through the 2nd half, but I'm good. Take the win and move on.

Definitely will take the win. Just not nearly as optimistic about the Marquette game as I was at the end of the first half.
 
D-Lo had 10 rebounds today!!

He also forced a lot of bad shots.

He did bk, I agree. I think it was a combination of wanting to make up for the 1-11 shooting against Xavier and not having Rysheed there. I expect better decisions from him going forward as long as we can sustain a full roster with no more main rotation guys missing games. We've had Obepka, miss games, Sanchez out against Villanova which might have cost us that game because Obepka wasn't 100% either. then Rysheed misses this game. Branch missed some games. we need all hands on deck from here on in.

All when the team was falling apart. He needs to maintain his cool in those moments

While I didn't like all the shots, I like the fact that he tried to carry the team rather than just being passive and watching us give up the lead. He is the closest we have to a go to guy.
 
Mean Gene, we went almost the entire season without anyone so much as sneezing. We've been one of the luckier teams as far as injuries. These things tend to eventually even out.

Understood Simplyred, I definitely accept that. I'm just saying that from here on out we can't afford to have anything happen. If it does it does, I get it. I just don't thi nk we will be able to accomplish what we are trying to accomplish if one of our main rotation guys comes up lame or something. I'm actually pretty confident that we can get 3 more wins if we can keep it all together.
 
Holy hell! Survive and advance.... Harrison has to be smarter w/ some of his decisions down the stretch. Pointer block was SO big. If they cut it to 1, I would have thrown my remote through the tv. What you guys think about Marquette? 50/50? As of now, I'm 40/60. Lineup been out of whack w/ Obekpa, Sanchez, Jordan missing time. I know you can't control that, obviously. I just hope we didn't peak in G'town game. I feel like we are just hanging on....
 
It's never easy is it? Now that I can relax a bit can anybody shed some light on why this game was played in the Garden?
Who decides? MSG,SJU , the league? A terrible decision.

That's why I said that I am confident we can get the three more wins we need and get on another roll if we can keep everyone in the lineup. I think having these guys out has thrown off the continuity a little bit here. I think we can get it back though if everyone plays.
 
This Rothstein is saying the we need to win the Big East Tournament to get in to the NCAA's not matter what. So he's in essence saying that we need 23 wins to make it. I don't agree. Lunardi has us in the first four out. 22 gets us in.

22 wins and we are dancing.

21 or less and we are NITing.

Winning the BET gives us a little higher of a seed and makes watching the Selection Show super easy.

Win 3 more and we should be very happy.
 
All Big East weekend games should be at MSG. All weekday games should be on campus unless we are playing Georgetown, Marquette or Nova.

Are you paying attention to the bubble teams we're competing with, or just throwing 21 and 22 as arbitrary numbers?

Still think 21 gets us in. 21-12, 10-8.
 
Just got back from the game, attendance was pretty much what I expected. Crowd was pretty loud at times. Overall, it was a must win and we got it. Obviously knew it wasn't going to be as smooth with Rysheed.

It's possible. I think with 21 wins, our odds are 50/50. Unless one of those wins is against Creighton or Villanova, then we are in.

Hmmmmm, let me think on that a bit. ;)

Winning the BE is a necessity. We have no wins against top teams other than Creighton. I still think the BE gets only 4 bids.- Xavier, Creighton, Nova are three.
