Big East Conference Results/ NCAA/NIT/CBI

[NickelDimer]

I, for one, do not want to play St. John's until as late in tournaments as possible.

Yeah I changed my mind. I'm fine not playing them again lol

[94Warrior]

Mullin is garbage.  MU won't be getting any help today.   

You are welcome for the reverse psychology!!!!

1st Place.

GO MU!

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Doubtful...their sphincter's will tighten, and Nova's experience will capitalize on their mistakes down the stretch

Because you can see things others just can't

2nd place.

Because he can tell when a team is talented.

Great call! If only anybody else on the planet knew as much basketball as you've forgotten.

In other news ...

Could Booth possibly have sucked more down the stretch? The worst 2 in the BE by far.

What kind of coach blows a 19-point lead? Plus, Wright never plays his 5-star recruit. Nova can do better - I'd take Danny Manning over him in a heartbeat!

Paschall looks bad. Maybe he's hurt, and playing him is dumb and dangerous.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

This year's Nova team doesn't have the same poise that Nova teams had in the past. Both Booth and Paschall tried a little too hard to be the man. Launched a lot of early threes rather than working their offense.

Well done. 

[NickelDimer]

novaguru is losing his sh*t right now.

[jsglow]

Nova gonna run the table on the rest of the league.

That didn't age well.

[Cheeks]

Nova gonna run the table on the rest of the league.

Nope, but I don't think we will either.  At HAll scares me

+1000 You are correct. I remember sitting at a non conference MU game in November in the 2002-2003 season and at one point during whatever game it was I turned to my buddy and said "This is a Final Four team, they have all the pieces". The rest is history.

At PC was the game that HAD me most concerned because of the 11am start and all, but after watching them against Xavier yesterday...yeesh.

Are you done with your slams on me?? Does it make you feel better?? The comment "I have forgotten more about basketball, then some will ever know" simply is a shot at MY age. Meaning, I have been around long enough to forget more things about it then some will ever know. it is NOT and never WAS an indictment on anyone's basketball knowledge or lack there of. Now that that's cleared up..continue on.

You must have felt foolish 4 months later watching us in the NIT.

Ummmm MU was in the Final Four in 2003.

[HowardsWorld]

Ummmm MU was in the Final Four in 2003.

You meant to say Nov 2002 and your story would have been accurate.

[tower912]

Ummmm MU was in the Final Four in 2003.

In April of 2003.   You talked about the 03-04 team in November of 2003.  Pretty sure you meant November 2002.

Yes...semantics.

[Newsdreams]

Yes...semantics.

Does not mean what you think it means, hey.

Klinger: My mother had a premonition about Pearl Harbor.
Radar: Did she tell anybody?
Klinger: Nah.  She didn't have it 'til December 9th.

Mmm-hmmm.

The competitor in me isn't gonna let you get away with that!

In my experience the "I've forgotten more than you'll ever know" meme means a) I know a lot and b) you don't know diddly. I have never heard it be a self deprecating reference to the age of the speaker.

That's one of the things he's proud to have forgotten about basketball
