Just show up. Anyone who posts on here and within 40 miles of CA should be there on Friday. We need a real homecourt advantage and by Friday students will be home. We need to make CA a place no one wants to visit (besides our fans.)

Trust me Richard, would I ever lie to the board?
We got this secured, it's just the way it is.
Not yet maybe, but remember what most on this board had this team pegged as before the season started. Can you say definitively that Nova is better than us?

it will also be important when we make the ncaa's who is in our "pod"
when we were a 2 seed in 2000 we were picked by just about everyone to come out of the west that year and goto the final 4 - we had a horrible draw in the second round which was basically a home game for Gonzaga out west and we all know what happened...just like uconn got home games in the sweet 16 and elite 8 last year playing in msg.
we may be better suited being a 6 seed in the east and playing in charlotte then syracuse than being a 4 seed and playing in portland oregon and then the staples center

Just gotta play our game.
Press and and guard the three-ball, they pass it inside and CO will shut that down.
On offense just continue to do what we been doing.
I don't mind RJ coming off the bench, he'll still get 35minutes in this one.
Branch isn't hurting us on offense, he doesn't turn it over and gets plenty of assists.
Everyone is all nervous about Saint Mary's, something is telling me not to even sweat this game.
Here's where we were ranked in the poll, by each individual writer.

Only 8 people left us off completely (including Dick Vitale, who needs to be alerted to the strength of the Big East this year).

gotta love it!im soaking it all in. Its been awhile since we've been here. Friday is a huge game for us, these kids know that team well. I dont sense a letdown. Now, Lav needs to hit up those recuits and ask them if they have senn the polls. St Johns is legit. He also can boast how CO has grown into a force in 3 years. We NEED Sampson and Diallo to commit to keep this going. Congrats to the boys and staff. All the hard work is paying off. Now just stay FOCUSED!!!
Go Johnnies!!
Go Johnnies!!

Boise St won at Saint Mary's, yeah I know they're 8-2 but is this FBall
And what about that mighty Montana team taking SMU to OT at SMU.
They dont even have votes in the new top25.

Can I answer this January 7th?
I had said preseason that I felt we'd be close to an NCAA team, but if I had to predict say we would miss. If you recall, what I said was the key to improvement was to play well in crunch time. We've gotten off to a pretty nice start and have played well in crunch time, but we have to keep it going. I'm not going off the deep end either way. I like these guys, and they are using their quickness and athleticism to offset the lack of height and it's worked so far.
