Yes, we had an opportunity to win every game…

There was an opportunity a few months ago, but yeah about 15-16 losses later, "it's too late to change stuff." The "run it back" mantra, whether game-by-game or season-by-season, is sickening at this point. Understandable that you wouldn’t want to risk changing anything since things have been going so well. If it ain’t broke…

That is an insult to the players who spend hundreds and hundreds of hours for the blue and gray. Be that as it may, my statement stands You don’t even have to wish for it, it’s just what’s going to happen. The kids will play hard, we’ll scratch our heads as to the pattern of substitutions and the play calling and the use of timeouts. We’ll begrudge the god awful defense that give Seton Hall open 3s, lay ups, and lobs at the rim, we’ll make a run to get it to single digits and then Edited the game away when we draw up a 3 for Kaiden that he airballs. Win or lose this game, the season has be an abject failure. I don’t even think the team celebrates a win here, short of winning it all, a la last year, there’s nothing left of this season to play for.

I feel bad for the players, esp. Dante and Rice, but let’s get this over with tonight and start from scratch.

Xavier has certainly come back to earth against a real opponent. If they lose their bid is in trouble. For the betterment of the league a win for them is preferable.

Butler has been pitiful in NYC; I think they only have 1 win here all time.
Is it just me or have they added little to the conference since joining? I don’t think they’ll ever repeat the successes from the Stevens’ years. Even DePaul has put more guys in the NBA recently, plus has the history.
I always thought Dayton or even Saint Louis made more sense as Catholic schools.

Tremendous shot by Scruggs, then a missed FT & a hilariously bad foul to let Butler tie it up.

Anybody watching DePaul/St. John? St. John is looking like UConn and DePaul, even while losing badly, looks long and athletic and quick. Scary to think of them with Mintz and that other high recruit whose name escapes me at the moment.

"Hoyas look to extend four game winning streak tonight at BET"
YEA BAYBEE!! LET'S GO HOYAS!!! LET IT ALL HANG OUT!!! SURVIVE AND ADVANCE!!!
