So when I had an exchange with someone a few days ago about "well I guess we could just brute force people" I didn't think that was actually going to be a thing. It might be a thing.

I dunno that we make the Final 4 that way but we can probably win some games if this is the plan.

 

[mjmaherjr]

Honestly believe the staff instilled a we have to win without making 3s mindset into the group and they responded.

We’re such a weird team. To have this record with these shooting woes in this era of basketball is pretty wild

Helps the our defense is more stifling than the hot air in carnesseca

 

[sjc88]

Right? When are you coming down, Bill?

Not sure. Was hoping January. Wife is having a knee issue. Spent yesterday at hospital. Next step MRI. Then?

 

[Go Red Storm]

And our 3 pt percentage went up from last game

Does this mean we are ‘currently’ back in the dance.

Let me know. I would love to meet up again.

Good call by Eric. Nice to get a 10 point win on the road.

Thanks Andrew. Some games I get a good feeling about. This was one. When we went up 18 I said no!!! Keep
It 7-12 lol.

We just impose our will defensively , pound the offensive glass and play the game at our pace. But, there will be games where we will have to shoot better to win. So, it’s good we’re getting it out of our system now.

Watching the women now Tartamella's sweater so ugly Louie's looked like GQ worthy

Not by a long shot. We sat out with an NET of 30 last year in a better OOC year for the league

 

[SJUWillRockNYC]

Good solid win tonight 4-1 baby, now gotta keep
It going Saturday night damn it.

Zuby 18, 12 & 4
RJ 18 & 10

Nice job guys.

I think a major difference is we don’t have the bad losses we had last year

Nice job guys.

Exactly because a loss to Nova negates the great win tonight.Got to protect home court.

 

[Marillac2]

Dare I ask, has this team found its IDENTITY!?

I think we are getting there. Kadary needs to rebound for others. Zuby and RJ are two of the best offensive rebounders in the country and Scott can be on any given night. If Kadary joined them, it’s going to get real fun.

FS1 play by play guy saying we are 4-1 in Big East for the first time since the turn of the century is incorrect.
We were 4-1 in conference play last year as well.

 

[Larry Wright]

Great win. Can’t remember a game where a team beat a team by 10 just by playing harder. And Xavier wasn’t playing lazy we just played ridiculously hard. Very impressive but our margin of error is really small. Tough to win games when can’t shoot.

 

[guinness77]

I’ve seen really no one give Richmond his flowers yet. He played really good in the 1st half when we needed it most. He played solid all game, but his first half was desperately needed.

four of our next six at home and two road games are Hall & Georgetown; we are in excellent shape right now.
