Title: Desperately Seeking 2-0
Post by: brewcity77 on December 18, 2024, 10:36:35 PM
If we win at Xavier on Saturday it will end the longest current drought on 2-0 starts in the Big East. Even DePaul and Georgetown have has more recent 2-0 league starts.

The last time we started 2-0 was in 2012-13 when Vander Blue led us to our first Big East title and the Elite 8. They started 4-0 before taking a loss in conference play. The program's best Big East start was 2008-09 when the Three Amigos started 9-0.

Gonna need our A-game for this one and hope X had an off-shooting performance. They were impressive against UConn tonight.

Winning at X will be tough. I think it'll be a coin flip honestly. Hope we can pull it off brewcity.

To start building hype for the game and disdain for X, I just pulled this video from the Library of Congress from way back when I went to MU. Watch what a program like MU would never ever do:

Al's team versus South Carolina had the benches clear.
Unfortunately, the Sports Illustrated vault moved or took down this article.

In any case, fights are stupid.  Hope nothing like that happens tomorrow.

Kind of a crazy fact. Hope we end the drought mañana.

If we take an L, that's 0-4 for Shaka with judgment just one year away.
