oh well. It wouldn't surprise me if Saturdsay Uconn wins by 20 plus.

Or…if we win by 15. That’s the maddening inconsistency of this team.

Now 7th in the conference before our matchup against #1 UConn...

 

[Demo]

Pitino out coached himself.

Pitino is not the one who missed the FT's, he's not the one who made stupid foul or turnovers (i.e. Luis). I really believe having the week off hurt them.

 

[Shannon]

They outplayed us regardless of the few real tough shots they hit.

they hit 2 3 pointers after a scamble with a second left on the clock. it was their night.

[MugCostanza]

Tied coming out of the U4 and lost by 11. This team is soft both physically and mentally

 

[paultzman]

Jenkins great for the first 38 minutes and awful for the last 2.

What dumb 3 that was when Soriano was unstoppable and we were in double bonus.

Can’t argue w that key play & situation

 

[logen]

Nothing really to say, this team is what it is, maybe a little better record but just another Johnnie’s team that is a tough, tough watch. Don’t play 40 minutes, don’t make winning plays. Don’t get big stops, big rebounds, any loose balls, etc., etc., etc. Broken record………………..

I wish alleyne could have played down the stretch ( National champion ) against Oliveri
Why is Dunlap in down the stretch when he has not hit a shot in weeks

Agree

Disagree with "losing faith in RP"

I completely agree. The week off almost never helps. Throws you off your rhythm

 

[dk423]

Team indeed did treat this like a trap game. lol.

And it’s almost impossible when you take step back 3s when you are in the double bonus and your center is having his way.

At least the Women beat Xavier tonight!

 

[Bobby123]

They are just fundamentally flawed. They just make dumb fouls and decisions every game.
Luis is not smart on the court -
Just too much inconsistency

 

[Mean Gene]

If your a tournament team this is a game you should win sorry we just choked this one away

Just when I was starting to believe in this team they come and play like this. Now we need to go 7-3 in our last 10 games to guarantee ourselves a NCAA Tournament berth. I can’t see that happening now. How is this team going to win at Butler or at Providence? I don’t see it. After we get bombed by UConn on Saturday we can all just focus on the Big East Tournament.

 

[guinness77]

We’re gonna give up 88 to Xavier. That’s crazy.

3rd most points they’ve scored all year. Only more against Bryant and Georgetown. SMH

 

[ptc666]

Very disappointing. This game is the epitome of our season. Couldn't get in a groove and when we got momentum we hit a bump. Tough loss. Left so many points at the line and rim. Biggest annoyance though is the lack of shooting. Our 3 point shooting has been horrendous.

Get that but teams wanting to play in the NCAAs have to find a way. Especially in an “offseason” for Xavier.

 

[Mean Gene]

Does anyone think that we still have a tourney shot assuming UConn might be a loss?

Win the Big East Tournament. We will back in the same position we’ve been in for the last 20+ years. Very sad.
