What a disaster

on a more positive note, at least Matthews isn't out with an ACL.

It is not the end of the world, but let's not kid ourselves about "bouncing" back from this game.   The rest of the schedule is brutal, and they will be probably win 3 out of the next 8 games.

All that being said, prior to the season I would have been thrilled with 12 - 6 in the Big East.  That's a solid tournament resume.  

End of the world, no.  A bright new beginning, definitely not.  But still a decent tournament team, yes.

The rest of the schedule is brutal, but we tend to play to our opponent's level.  The bigger the team, the bigger the challenge and the more satisfying the win. (except for the fadgers. They suck and it always feels good to beat them.) There isn't a team out there that we can't beat.

This one was certainly a team effort. Just a bad offensive performance, and the FT shooting by all involved speaks for itself.

If they want one of those top four spots, they better beat Villanova next week or it is gonna be awfully tough.

One bad game does not make Dominic James suddenly the worst player on the planet.  Defensively, he is the best on the ball defender on the team, and the team woulld not be as good as they are without him.

It wasn't all James' fault.  Acker's shooting has completely gone out the window as well, missed 3 wide open ones.  Was the last three he made the prayer at the end of the first half against Cincy?

Unfortunately Acker hasn't hit either a two or a three since the Cincy game on 1/4.

Wow... SCdem@MU and warriorfred... "too crazy for boystown, too much of a boy for crazytown".  C'mon.  Really, we should play Cubillan?!  And this is the beginning of some great Hindenburg-like debacle, since we lost 1 game when we played very poorly?!
I love the kooky posts after losses...they make me laugh.  Keep it coming, hysterics!

We also said that free throw shooting was going to cost us at least one game.....exhibit A.   

You could say that for every single team in the country and be right about it 99% of the time.
