We're such a hot team right now that such a long layoff may just cool us off!
Anyone else concerned or take notice of the layoff?
No, in fact I welcome it. This team has played 5 road games and had several games with little time between. Take a day off, regroup, re-energize and then get ready for the second half of BE play. Only 3 more road games with 5 at home.
It is a plus that the next game after the layoff is at home, against a team that beat MU and we need revenge, celebrating DWade, Saturday game with near capacity.
Time to finish strong.
It'll help MU tremendously......the layoff before Pitt helped, this will too.
MU is now 1/2 way through the Big East season with 5 of its last 8 at home......time to regroup and come out strong. A perfect time for a break -- especially given the whoopin' PC put on the good guys a few weeks ago.
I love how 5 days and 19 hours is a huge layoff. I'll bet money they go to class, study, have practice every day. Saturday will be here before they know it.
Crean will have these guys ready to put the pain on Providence College. The Big 3 were not healthy for the 1st game.

I agree.
A Sunday to Saturday layoff simply isn't that big a deal.
Besides, Providence has a similar layoff--no games this week either.
I'd be more concerned had we played Saturday and had our next game this coming weekend on Sunday. More than a full week between games is too long.
Not concerned, plus with D. Wade likely to make a the pregame speech and sit on the bench, I think these guys will be very psyched. Throw in the fact we were beaten pretty good at PC, I look for a win in convincing fashion at the BC on Saturday.
