As long as we win we can have as many Seton Hall games as we want.

On the subject of Butler, I hate 9 pm games. I think it is very easy to come out flat, and play a very sloppy game. These kids should be sky guy, and brining the intensity back to the Garden shouldn't be a problem. The best things fans can do to help avoid a letdown is to show up in numbers, and be loud. Just three home games remaining - if you've been saving your quarters, now would be a good time to break the piggybank and buy a ticket (Use code SJUBB or TZOO on Ticketmaster for discount tickets)

I love the 9 PM starts because I can make it there on time after work from upstate even during tax season. I had to sell my tix to the Xavier game because there's no way I'd make it to MSG by 7.

I have a 7 days bus. trip the next morning, but I'm with you. beat Butler and I'm there with my family.
Actually, I think I'm going to go either way, since we have to win 4 of 5 any way you slice it.
Isn't Butler playing at 9 pm also? If you are a good team things like start times don't factor into your intensity level. We are becoming a good team and I for one will be incredibly disappointed if we play with anything but the same effort we played with last night. If we lose make it because Butler played an '85 Nova game.

Another silly post by you. If we played them outdoors on an ice covered court, the conditions would be the same for both teams, but not optimal for good baskertball. We played a very sloppy game vs. SHU, and I believe the late start contributed to it. Last night we played one of our best games of the season, perhaps the best game. I don't know how you define effort, but I think you can play hard but poorly. Rest assured, Butler can beat our team, and not 6 weeks ago, a number of respected posters thought they were an NCAA team.
You know who wrote the following? You
" To say this game is an easy win or I fear this opponent more means nothing because of the very essence of the beauty of sport "on any given night." The foul shot analysis by my buddy was just meant to convey the fine line between winning and losing at this level and the meaningless of stats."
Here's another one of your posts:
"Hopefully the players don't think that way; we are certainly not good enough to consider any game anything but dangerous."
Honestly, I think you post stuff to be a contrarian and you have no idea what you are writing.
Well, I definetly post stuff to be a contrarian, big part of my personality. But I also just as definetly know what I am talking about. I don't post a million silly posts about how if this happened or that happened we would be the second coming of UCLA. Or if we play poorly it is because we are starting at 9 o'clock insted of 7. Did you ever play a sport? There is NOTHING more irrelevant than a starting time if you are a focused athlete. Those are just lame excuses or nonsensical attempts by you to act like you know something. To take it down a level; so we would be affected by a starting time but Butler wouldn't? Not sure about the quotes you wasted your time digging up because they were just attempts to respond to the inanity of your predicting easy games and tough games; turns out SHU, "an easy game", was a nail-biter while Gtown, the team we couldn't beat, was a wire to wire 20 point victory. That's why I am a contrarian to you and other posters who grace us with the Nostradamus predictions of what's going to happen; IMO it's all nonsense but it is fun and I mean that, none of this is serious at least from my point of view. If I am getting on your nerves let me know and I'll stop responding because it is all good to me, nothing personal.

Very respectful post. I'm sure I saw you play on one of Clair Bee's teams - so did you play D1, D2, D3?. You are a contrarian - you contradict yourself post to post.. So we can disagree about start time, but I think it matters - you don't - who cares?
I don't predict anything - but I was worried about SHU on their own court with good reason, and also G'town. If we see them again, especially with Josh Smith, we could lose, even at MSG.
