Quote from: 1SE on March 05, 2025, 12:05:58 AMOr, we lost decisively to a team that just lost @ no-pulse Georgetown. Yikes, makes that loss even worse. Or, you know, the last 4 games don't tell us much decisively and we'll find out a lot more about where this team is at tonight.

Georgetown and Seton Hall have had a pulse, you just don't want to acknowledge it because you've created a narrative and you're willing to die on that hill.

We're playing well.

It is a testament to the job Shaka has done that 15 point conference road wins and 30 point conference home wins can be sneered at.

Quote from: 1SE on March 05, 2025, 01:52:54 AMI'm more pessimistic than I'd like to be - namely because we haven't beat a NCAATish on the road since 2024. But I'd love to be pleasantly surprised and think that this is the first of an 11 game winning streak.

Last year's team didn't win a road game against an NCAA tournament team after New Year's either. In fact, they only won 1 road game against an NCAA tournament team all year. Same as this year's team. So tonight is an opportunity to double last year's number of road wins over NCAA tournament teams.

Villanova's loss just proves how bad Marquette is right now and how Ed Cooley has GTown on the upswing

Word in DC is that Cooley has some new ladies on his "team" that have reinvigorated him.

Today is Ash Wednesday, violence from our Catholic team is unacceptable. As good Christians I expect them to turn the other cheek & submit

Either/or. That's it?

Which cheek?  You have Wingding's attention

Depends which one gets it first.

Something stupid people can latch onto as a "jinx" if the Johnnies start losing.

Hopefully we are the team to give people that reason on Saturday!

Is there a Jimmy Fallon jinx I'm unaware of?

Some St. Johns fans saying they don't like the spotlight before March.

How would they know?

We will be on fire tonight and turn the Huskies into ash

That works for me!  Let's go!!!

DePaul is just so pathetic.

So, is Georgetown still back?

Progress. Wins over the last four years:

Congrats to unbeatable juggernaut Xavier for coming within 3 points of covering against mighty Providence.

Marquette might as not bother showing up at MSG, because X is just too spectacular.

Bet you an expensive Seattle coffee that Xavier beats Marquette.

Quote from: PointWarrior on March 08, 2025, 07:07:49 PMBet you an expensive Seattle coffee that Xavier beats Marquette.

I don't drink coffee, but it's a bet if a coffee is a beer.

We're better than Xavier is and we're playing better now than Xavier is, so sure.

I have the added advantage of good mojo, because I'll actually be rooting for our alma mater to win.

Notwithstanding Blue's obsequiousness towards Xavier, we are better than them.
