Selection Sunday

[dee]

One win is my realistic goal for happiness. Anything beyond that is pure elation for me.

Please boys, don't come out and lay an egg!

A Sweet 16 run would be an amazing way to finish up the season. A one and done and I won't even login in here until next fall! It will be brutal.

So many on this board have such short sighted goals. Aiming for one win or sweet 16 is for losers. the Yankees aim for a world series every year. Jim valvano had his team aiming for the ncaa title and had them practice cutting nets. Here we just hope to win a game and make a good showing. I am hoping we get an 8th or 9th seed with possible second game against kentucky.beat KY and we are back on the map. Then to final four.

Why only stop with a Final Four????

Watching the KY v Arkansas game. We can beat KY

+1000
No other team has been able to in 34 games, and we just got smoked by Providence. But I agree completely Dee.

LoL!! This is why people are constantly suffering meltdowns on this board. Having unrealistic expectations and then not knowing how to handle themselves when we fall short.

I'll go one step further on this. When Keith Thomas was dismissed and Adonis ruled ineligible, few people gave us any shot this year. As far as I'm concerned, this is all gravy right now. That's not to say anyone is ok with where the program is at now or going forward, but just appreciate what's going on here.

I don;t think thats true. Most people still saw a roster of juniors and seniors with top 100 talent. We were still expected to make the tournament.

Go check the prediction topic from earlier this year. The evidence is all there. I'm not making this up

Could be true, I don't full remember. People did get very disappointed when we lost the front court players. That I do remember.

 

[Delaware]

Win a game? With or without Obepka I had no faith in this team, after the last two debacles.

 

[SJUalum98]

I've been waiting years for a Selection Sunday where my school's name will be called.

Can clearly remember Hardy throwing up 3 goggles the last Selection Sunday.

I hope Lavin, the staff and players live in the moment because they definitely worked hard for it.

Great day to be a Johnnie!

I take every word back.

selection sunday ? this has become a st johns fan sunday bloody sunday

Who would have thought the beginning of U2's lyrics for the song would become the battle cry of st johns fans

"I can't believe the news today
Oh, I can't close my eyes
And make it go away
How long...
How long must we sing this song
How long, how long..."

What you expect & what you hope for differ often obviously. Give me one win & everything after that is gravy. Just different perspectives.

Agreed, one win and they would have done more then every other team in the last 14 years. Win a NCAA game

[beast of the east]

agree with all of you guys who said 1 win and one competitive game about 5 hours ago. Now more than ever I'd say one win, and screw the second game.

 

[beast of the east]

Projection #1: We get a 10 seed.

Projection #2: Obekpa hears that and says he'll take those 10 seeds and in a couple of months will have at least 8 plants.

 

[mjmaherjr]

If I see Obekpa with a bag of white castle during the show I'm going to be pissed

 

[doodyny33]

I think we'll end up as a #9 seed

 

[SJUalum98]

Predictions for snubs?

 

[Della9250]

Lunardi bumped them down to a 10 out in Seattle
Mandel still has them as an 8 in Louisville.

 

[beast of the east]

Best news of the day. UCONN loses and likely gets a bid to the NIT
