Onward and upward.
The desperation run to the NCAAs has to start somewhere. This won't be a walkover though. Just ask Marquette.

or just ask notre dame. did anybody else watch that clash of the titans yesterday afternoon?
i feel like i should have been paid for my trouble.
usf has some bigs that can be physical. hoyas need to find a way past the bulls to have any shot at the ncaa's

We'll win. Marquette went 4-24 from three and 10-23 at the line and they lost by 1.
USF is all kinds of awful. Don't even compare them to Cincy or Seton Hall. It's not close.

Unfortunately, Seton Hall was all kinds of awful in our road game against them and we saw how that turned out.

The key is the battle of the bigs. If Julian can show some of that defensive energy he had against Onuaku, Gilchrest shouldn't be as big of a challenge. Greg needs to know where his assignment is at all times

this team has given me no reason to believe it can turn the season around, BUT I REFUSE TO GIVE UP ON THEM! forget what has transpired - the season begins on wednesday. take one game at a time. this team needs to start believing in each other and showing on the court. anything but a ncaa bid would certainly be one of the most disappointing seasons that i can remember.

Our inconsistency is cause for great concern. If we play as we did against 'Cuse, we ought to win this game by 15+. That said, we are more than capable of dropping this game and with it, our last realistic hope at an NCAA bid.
We need to come out energized. Fired up. Let's go Hoyas.

This is where it starts. Just focus on this game. Win it and go on from there. USF is very, very tough at home.

I hate to be a pessimist but South Florida is not the rivalry that Syracuse is, unfortunately I do not see us playing with any where near the same level of intensity. Not saying we can't win this game, but I expect an intensity level let down. I hope I am proven wrong of course.

Gotta disagree Giga, USF beat MU and nearly beat VU, and has given others difficulty. They have lost to a lot of bad teams and played some really bad games but they have some good players and the scrap. They're not as good as Cincy but the difference in talent between them and Hall isn't marked. Plus we haven't really played very well against them in years past.... They aren't gonna roll over. I think we can win and we should win and we must win, but it isn't a given that we will. I'm expecting a battle, 100%. Is this game on SNY in NY/NJ? |

If this team doesn't realize that there's no room for error and cannot come out firing, then they should pack it in. |

Carefull, USF can be tough, but Hoyas should prevail.
Hoyas had over 50 points in the second half against 'Cuse, we need to play same up tempo style. Show it down, and we play into their hands.
Hoyas need to score 80 points to win.

Went to Cincy from 1966 to 69. Played for Coaches Taylor Baker and Lee Rose, had the time of my life.
