Yep, I had to turn off the TV audio and listen to 1620.

4 of our remaining 6 are DePaul butler DH and GT. You win this game vs any of them. That this next week having it off is going to be huge to get the legs back under them


We lost 81-57 to Georgetown this season. Yes, it was on the road. But any of those teams can beat us with a poor game.

That one just feels wrong to lose lmao. Had everything break our way - big lead (extended when Ash was out) and unreal amount of foul calls against UCONN. Blew it, and got beat by a single player. Would've chalked this as a loss 2 months ago, not so much after each team's last weeks. Doesn't defeat what this team just did over the last month. Comfortably in the tourney. But man we could've played up to the 5 and maybe 4 line.

Don't disagree. First post was absurd tho. Play that defense and DP, SH, GT score like 35 lol. Single player smashed us, partially because of offensive rebounds. Poor offensive execution for about 8 mins was what stood between us and a double digit win tonight

I just said further down that it be tough to beat gtown if we play like this. You have this exact game
You still beatSH and DePaul. Butler you should win with a game like this. GT would be tough.

Need to make it though NYC this weekend, I don’t expect a win with how good SJ has been and how dog
Tired we are.

All this to say is get rest, get right, and attack the rest of the season. Still outside shot at a regular season BE title with how tough the Johnnie’s final stretch is.

Hey, there should have been more fouls against UConn. They were hacking the crap out of us and LM got away with some offensive fouls.

And don’t look past the possibility of winning against STJ (which would help seeding) after getting a bit more rest to heal up before Sunday’s game. Yes, it will be a bitch to win but it’s possible especially if they rest up in time.

Missing the Green FT was a bad idea.
