Please Calm Down

We should have had the team just walk out and take a team crap on the decal at the start of the game

Or come out with their pants around their ankles to get spanked!  Truly disappointing performance.  We'll see what this team is made of next week and whether they can bounce back or not

Option A, 100% of the time. Maybe if we had another Big East tournament trophy in the cabinet, that'd change. But right now, without a doubt, the first one. Because only one allows us to put forward our side of the conversation with a title.

I sort of feel that way too brewcity.  Something about the Big East tourney and actually winning it would have etched our name on something.

This board needs to learn to not freak out. We beat a good team and everyone thinks we can win the national title. We have a crappy game tonight and people want us to find a new point guard.

We aren't as good as people think when we are winning and we aren't as bad as people think when we are losing.

This is right on.  However, I would note that some people take a rational approach and say we are good, not great and the crapping on posters begins in earnest for not drinking the sunshine KoolAid.  It's ok to say we're good, not great and expect not to be crapped on during the season.

I hope for a deep run in the NCAA Tourney.  But when I look back on this season the fact that Marquette finished second in the Big East and had a player win Big East POY before the conference blew up is much more important than the Big East tourney championship.

Who gives a f*ck? The Big Dance is the one that everyone remembers. Winning the Big East tournament would be fracking awesome, but it is hardly a bigger deal. I respect your opinion, and we all get it now. Let it go.

I guarantee the East Coast Big East schools and their fans would value and remember a Big East Tournament championship much more than a sweet 16 run.  OTOH, they also would value a Final Four run over a BET championship.  The way I look at it, if you are in the Final Four, you have won a regional championship, which is something more difficult than a Big East championship.  Don't know about an Elite 8.  I personally would prefer a BET to an Elite 8, but I could see the opposite opinion.

Finally, BET success and NCAA success are not mutually exclusive.  A BET championship would have significantly improved our chances at NCAA success by moving us to the 2 seed line.

That's twice in 8 days they've gotten their doors blown off. Not a good time for that to happen.

And Cadougan has been bipolar all season. Starting to think a steadier hand would be better.

Bipolar?  You mean like our fan base?

The team is 25-7. I think after 32 games we know what this team is made of and I, for one, have been impressed.

no fracking chance at a 2 seed, highly unlikely a 3 seed now...

DOH!

[only a warrior]

I'm sure that made you whole weekend, eh?

A 3 seed? And Louisville at a 4 seed? Yes, I am very happy.
