(PRE-GAME) Xavier, Wed., Mar. 2, 16, 6:30p, FS-1

We're home, we haven't lost more than 2 straight all year (we've lost 2 straight too often, but never more than that), Xavier is struggling (I'd say they're loving this matchup, but they close with Georgetown at home Saturday, so they're probably REALLY loving that), and we've never lost on bobblehead night (and we've played some good teams on those nights).Paultzman post=460755 said:
Obviously, the last part does not factor into the line, but everything else is probably what they're going by.
I hope not as well but what I've witnessed lately is telling me that this team is becoming an entity in disarray. I hope and pray that CMA gets this under control and pulls this team together for an overwhelming victory over the X men. That said, I love this program and want it to succeed beyond our wildest dreams and will never give up the love that I have for this team and our program.NCJohnnie post=460753 said:
I said this elsewhere, but we're probably better off losing this game, and facing Butler in the 8/9. Not a guaranteed win, obviously, but I think we matchup better. Then, after that would be Providence, who doesn't play after tonight, so they might be rusty, and the two games against them were close this year (10 point game at the Dunk, but it was closer then that for most of the way).Paultzman post=460756 said:If SJU beats Xavier I believe they play D’Paul in BE T opener. Suspect the defensive game play would have to be “tweaked” a tad
I think we can beat DePaul in a 7/10, but it's not a great matchup, and until the last few minutes of the second game, Villanova (who would be next) pretty much had their way with us in both meetings this year.
Still, I can't root for the team to lose. I just don't know any other way.

I want no part of Depaul. They have scorers, length etc. They are a better team then we are.SJU61982 post=460759 said:I said this elsewhere, but we're probably better off losing this game, and facing Butler in the 8/9.

Probably right. The 8/9 would give us a 2nd round game against Providence albeit on that 15 hour turnaround whereas the 7/10 would put us up against Nova. We have a chance against PC, not against Nova.SJU61982 post=460759 said:I said this elsewhere, but we're probably better off losing this game, and facing Butler in the 8/9.

Soriano is needed vs. X. Hoping he clears.
Is Posh going to start??, what's up with not starting our heart and soul.
************************************************************
I always root for them to win, even if losing potentially could end us up with a better BET matchup. Just can't root for a "L"!
Champ hopefully wills himself to a big night, and us to a victory in likely his last game at CA.

Certaintly would be nice to have Soriano tonight, but let's not make him out to be more then what he is. Besides, since we're going nowhere this season, it'll be good to see what Nyiwe and Stanley can give us playing more minutes. Next season sorta starts now.

Pretty simple; because if we don't pick up any other big man(men) of consequence, and since we know more or less what we're gonna get from Soriano, may as well get Stanley and Nyiwe more minutes for experience and to see how they fare. Same reason to try and give Pinzon more minutes, especially over Smith and Coburn.Boo Harvey post=460822 said:

Monte agree,I was never high on Soriano.I said previously, we need a dominate big and 2 very good 3 pt shooters
Do not think we miss Soriano not in the game. We have 6-8 player with more speed to off set. Think he would be a good back up center
Coach better recruit more 4* players.we can not move forward with 3* players that can’t shoot and need 2 yrs to develop
Even our staff needs to improve along with coaches gamee

He was playing better and so were we. Then he gets hurt and we immediately lose 2 in a row in very winnable games. I’d say he’s shown we need him.
