For Dr V
Edit: Oops, messed up options on first try
Anything's posssibleeeeeee
Logic says 3 at best, if all things go right.
They can't win 4.
So, guess that gives them something to play for in winning 3 more in the regular season.
Shouldn't have blown tonight's chance!

I'm just talking at the Garden!
Regular season I still think X & Gtown are possible, then Depaul and shocking SJU at home. Not probable, but possible.
Could someone kindly explain the Arby's reference? Seen it referenced on every poll but never thought to ask about it until now.
Yes but unlikely. St John's and/or UConn will be too much. The other teams will not like seeing MU in their bracket.
I think we're "playing like" the 3rd best team in the Big East right now. There's no reason we can't go on a run. We've been in 9 of our last 10 games. We've gone 3-1 at home. Put us on a neutral floor?
Shaka's played on Friday night 3 years running, you know he's thinking the same thing.
Ideally the bracket falls that we only get one of St. John's / UConn.
Anything is possible in The Garden.
As Mike Deane used to always say: "ain't no thang to get 4"

Mmmmmmmmmm, now I have lunch plans.

You should be banned....
Think about what this MU team might look like in 4 weeks if they improve as much as they have over the last 4 weeks...
Could be dangerous at that point.
I said yes. It's improbable, maybe a 5-10% chance, but playing like we are of late it's certainly possible.
I don't think we can beat St John's, but maybe Xavier could do that for us. Not sure we can beat UConn, but Providence or Seton Hall could. I'm certain we can beat Nova, they didn't escape us until the last possession twice.
A lot comes down to seeds. If we're the 6, Xavier the 7, and SHU/PC are in the 8/9, then the odds go up. If we have to get through SJU and UConn, that's not happening.
Championship Week can be chaotic, and Shaka has won two conference tourney titles in 5 years and made the BET semis three straight years. I don't expect it, but given our play the last month and certainly the last two weeks I'm not ruling it out.
Dream on, dream on, dream on until your dream comes true.
Not gonna happen.

Brew,
Do you have any explanation what we're seeing with Chase? The bottom line is if he's a total no show, we're not making a miracle run at MSG. 2 shots yesterday? What gives Brew? Ty.

Tre's box score was petty much the same as Chase's and Chase had 3x the minutes. Yeah! What is going on.
Well there is always a chance but I don't see us winning 4 at MSG.

I don't recall a starting guard ever at MU taking only 2 shots in a game. Maybe Derrick...but this is a serious head scratcher.

Just for giggles, I looked it up and Derrick took two of fewer shots in 11 starts during the 12-13 and 13-14 seasons. On Nov. 8, 2013, he took zero shots in 34 minutes against Southern.
No. But it's fun to even dream it's possible considering where things were 4 weeks ago.
We need to win on the road first before I speculate on the BET.

Wow! That's absolutely mind-boggling from a starting high d-1 guard.
It sounds like most here have no idea what the deal is with Chase.

That's why I said "No." Four weeks ago, I would have said, "Hell No." It's true that the team is improving pretty quickly, which makes me excited for next season.
Feel the Program is there to do it these days like in 2023.
But not sure if the Players or Team are.

Caedin turning into Dwight Burke would be a huge victory at this point.
They are playing better. But they're really only 7 deep, so no chance to win 4 in a row.

This Friday the 13th, remember: it's not the calendar's fault that life is a f*cking horror show & death is the only way out.
Eat Arby's
Since you can't next Friday without going to hell.
Well ... they have not won a road or neutral court game all year ...
So, can they win 4 of those in a row ?
Including beating ( probably )UCONN and SJU ?
No.
Quote from: Small Orange Soda on February 12, 2026, 07:57:47 PMCaedin turning into Dwight Burke would be a huge victory at this point.
Hell, Caedin turning into Doris Burke would even be considered a victory, at least for the radio play-by-play situation.
What ever happened to Doris Burkes thong?
Or lances other nut?
Real solid scoop names
Since January 28th of last year, this team has won one road game - March 1st at Georgetown and one neutral-site game on March 13th over Xavier in the BET.
I thought the only thing more unlikely would be Rocky starting a poll. But sure enough it happened. Guess anything is possible.

Agree there is a chance
In 2006 was asked to leave a necklace and bead party in Madison Square Garden during the Big East Tournament. They asked me where my necklace was and beads were and how I got in there
Where is the "LOL" option?????
Which garden?
It will be done. We are still going dancing.
Why not? Anything can happen

the only pattern here is one we already know. Uconn and villanova are the only two schools to be any true good from this version of the big east.
What's shocking?
