If we make it to Friday...

[quote="SLYFOXX1968" post=331871]Zaun, Jack Williams are you advising it might be a good idea for our guys to hang out in Bars until :3 AM and then play Ariz State ? Hmm, might be on to something .. our Team , as shown this year , needs to have all 5 of our Starters in Double figures at the same time and contributing in the other aspects of the game as well . This hasn’t happened too
Frequently but , has on occasion . We need 1 of those times on Wednesday and Friday . We can’t have Clark scoring 0 points or any body not getting 10 or more . He needs to go to the hoop if his shot isn’t there . A few times anyway . AZis going to dare Simon to shoot , from anywhere , 2 feet or 20 feet it doesn’t matter . We need him for Defense , Steals, Rebounds more than scoring . If he can make a few layups , always a concern with Justin , and drop some free throws , the 10 should not be a problem . Ponds ? Frankly , he needs to take over the game , like Powell , Booth , Howard do and we will be ok . Heron , if healthy , I am not worried about or Figgy either .[/quote]

Its the same story game after game. Just hoping this team shows up, plays with a chip on their shoulder, a little emotion, and gets after it on defense.

Every other team seems to do fine in back to back games during tournaments. These are kids...when I was 21 I would be able to go out to bars until 3 AM and be fine by 9 AM. No excuse.[/quote]

Comparing players playing two ncaa games back to back to you getting trashed and not waking up hungover is.... something[/quote]

Well I used to play pick up games for 3 hours on Saturdays, then go to the bars until 3AM and then play pickup again Sunday for 3 hours, as did most of my friends. Tired at 21 with a day off in between for the chance of a lifetime. I don't buy it. Man up.[/quote]

Thank you...remember they get top notch treatment also. They get a full day in between and will be attended to constantly getting every contraption/machine possible to ease their muscles. They're in the prime of their life health wise. Acting like it's too much to ask for 5 guys to play 2 games with a full day in between to rest is too much is ridiculous IMO. It's an excuse. Just to be clear I'm pumped we're in at all. Very thankful...and we may very well lose immediately. But if we do, it's not from being tired. Man up...stop treating these guys like pansies. Hope our guys aren't up until 3 AM on Instagram live.[/quote]

This was a thread started to see if some folks wanted to get together Friday if the team was still playing. If you want to have a thread where you are telling people how they should feel if the team loses Friday, about how they should analyze a game that not only hasn't been played yet but might not ever be played maybe this isn't the right thread. Maybe start one called - Acceptable Reasons to Lose.

Some of us are happy the team is in the tournament and not worried about why they will lose. We are either sitting back and just watching or trying to figure out how we think they can win. Strange, I know.[/quote]

I am ecstatic that the team is in the tourney and hope they continue to win and honestly think they can win a few games if they show up and play hard. I guess the point is if they win on Wednesday and lose Friday, we should not hear things like "they were tired" or 'tired legs". They will win because they will impose their will upon Az St & Buffalo or they will lose because the other team will impose their will upon SJ, not because they were tired. I would be loving watching SJ on Sunday. GO SJU!!

Lets try to get a bar gathering.
100-200 redmen.comers.
and go nutsssss.

Anyone?

NM Just seen it would be at 3:50 in the afternoon, would be tough to do.[/quote]
Not that I would be able to make it but 4pm on a Friday would be tough to do? Really? You degenerates?[/quote]

lol It wouldn't be tough for me, no problem for me to go.
Talking about the ones living/working in NJ or LI.
So lol, why wouldn't you be able to make it?

Me, hell I might look for a SJU viewing place for Wednesday night.[/quote]
I work in Huntington until 4:30. I won’t be home until 5 with the traffic. I’m happy I’ll at least be be able to see the second half. If there was a place in Huntington or Babylon I’d pop in.

I was more thinking about the Manhattan happy hour crowd. Centrally located. Close to the trains. Haven’t you guys met up at Stout before?[/quote]

I haven't done a meetup yet, was waiting for the NCAA tourney to do it.
 
[quote="SJ_NYC" post=331862][quote="Moose" post=331810][quote="SI1996" post=331803]http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/insider/story/_/id/26292931/giant-killers-10-most-likely-first-round-upsets-2019-ncaa-tournament

According to this article, ASU already beat us as they are going to upset Buffalo. Not even a mention of our game against them. I hope our team sees this article.. F U![/quote]

Interesting because they have the scenario for either Belmont or Temple beating UMD[/quote]

http://www.espn.com/mens-college-ba...3750/upset-picks-2019-ncaa-tournament-bracket

It must be just the way that data was grabbed for the article - for the most likely potential upsets.
We're listed in similar article, right below ASU, on the espn website.[/quote] Yeah that blurb about SJU beating Buffalo was not in the original story I read. Clearly ESPN read my comments and made the adjustment accordingly. Again, Paul's reach goes way beyond MJ Maher's social club :) I kid.
