MU BE record?

[Uncle Rico]

Totally agree with this.

Unfortunately, the Big East lacks a serious national title contender this season IMHO. St. John's can't shoot, UConn doesn't take care of the ball, Creighton is too dependent on a decent (but not great) and small PG, and our litany of Scoop-reported problems makes it surprising we've won a single game.

They have an elite defense, one of the best in recent years.

However, they shoot 29% from 3, 49.4% real shooting (268th), terrible at the line and terrible at getting to the line.  They do extend possessions with great offensive rebounding.

Anyone looking at St. John's offense and says, "that's what we need", doesn't know ball.

Pitino did take a team like this to the 2012 Final 4.

They lack a true Aircraft Carrier to go along with the mid range

Marquette is good...and better at home.

Marquette will have the best player on the floor and a sold out crowd watching one of the winningest classes we have ever seen. We lead at St. John's with 5 minutes to play in a game where we got no production from a lot of guys and our best player was in foul trouble.

We're winning that game.

Way more confident than playing Radford.

Now I'm feeling 14-6. Crazy to think that'd feel disappointing since I'd have been happy with it in November, and ecstatic with it in 2022.

No, about the same.

I knew they'd win then, know they'll win now. That's what they do.

This poll taken when we were 5-0 in the BE and a little starry eyed. I questioned 7 losses as impossible but the 5 people who chose it weren't naysayers but the realists.   Who would have thought we'd go 8-7 from that point....those 5 did.

I still have hopes for this year
 We're a decent team playing well. Maybe a S16 depending on matchups.

Seven conference losses is not cutting it sports fans. Time for Shaka to earn his fat salary.

UCONN should've fired Hurley before the NCAA Tourney 2 years ago. 7 conference losses is not cutting it.

4-6 since Feb with our best win @sorberless GT. If you don't think that sucks, print yourself a COLE badge.

But the beauty of the NCAAT is that it is 6 games for everyone (ok, 7 for FF). Would have been a heck of a lot nicer to he a 2 seed, but no reason we can't still make a run.
