No two teams will play us uglier than Nova and ND. Add the SH game to those, and I can see the board meltdown happening already. Just have to realize that it's more the way they play than anything else. III has his work cut out for him because I know the guys are going to want to cleanse the sting and come out blazing, but this will be a grind won with defense.

Confident they'll respond. After that display, maybe I shouldn't be..but I trust this group to correct things, especially the defense.

Offense comes and goes, even with the best of teams. Sometimes you just aren't gonna shoot well no matter what.
Defense is built on effort. I expect that to improve by leaps and bounds on Saturday over the level we gave tonight. There is no excuse for not doing so.

Need the Lubick of the SJU and Provvy games. The Henry of the Alabama game would be nice.

Forget Alabama. At this point, I just want Henry to avoid falling over any time he has the ball or is about to receive a pass. Never seen a guy go to the deck so much over minimal contact (while not intentionally trying to flop).

Or step on the line trying to slither through a guy 3 inches shorter than him. Seriously, we have no back to the basket game.

On to the next game! The guys will be ready to take their frustrations out on Nova.

After the loss to Pitt, which seems to be the closest comparison to Villanova (in terms of overall quality/lack thereof - not in style), we responded by clamping down on UCONN and stomping a USF team. I expect at least a 15 point margin of victory.

I won't even bother with the the Seton Hall game (I was at work, so couldn't watch). I'll pretend it did not happen as much as I can. Also, if a performance like this had to happen, I glad it happened now versus, you know, in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
We are 10-5 in the Big East, healthy, still ranked #8 in the country, and can still grab a top 4 seed and double bye in the Big East Tournament. It starts again on Saturday vs. Villanova, which will be before a packed Senior Day Gray Out crowd at Verizon.
Beat 'Nova. Bounce back and correct the wrongs. 'Nova is having a very down year, but they are capable of putting up a fight. In particular, they have put up some big leads on teams like UConn and Notre Dame, only to give it up and falter late.
Let's not let them put up a big lead. Let's put them away early. Go Hoyas. We Believe.

Can't allow the stench of last night's game to linger, we need to make things click from the opening tap Saturday. An absolute barometer game for the rest of the way.

We are 7-1 against teams under .500 in conference and 3-4 against teams that are .500 or better in conference. Make of that what you will, but I like our chances against Nova at least.
Also, will Hollis be honored as a "senior"?
