MU beat Nova Twice

[MuggsyB]

Just saying......

[Bad_Reporter]

Mug, I like your input here, but this thread just screams “losers”.

This is similar to VCU hanging up a “we were ranked” banner. (I think it was VCU)

OK, but your obsession with starting new, vague topics…….

We're not losers.  My point is we had the talent on this team to make a deeper run.

I was thinking we helped Villanova. They learned how to handle the pressure against a team that was going to play a tough defense.

I also think one of the reasons MU dropped off at the end of the season was because Shaka backed off of pressing the other teams.

Congrats to Jay Wright and Villanova - best program in the country.  It's scandal free and just keeps on churning out the wins.  I'm envious and adulatory all at once.

Curious, why do you think MU fell off towards the end of the year?

Ya think?  I'm still trying to figure our precipitous drop in level of play.

Embarrassing

[Daniel]

Yes we beat a final 4 team twice.  So we should be top 10 at least lol

[Nukem2]

The secret is to play them later at night, especially at 9pm.

I'm not saying that.  I just think our level of play went South and it's perplexing.

Hang a banner!!

[muwarrior69]

They should play the tournament in January, eh?

We also lost to a team playing tomorrow for a chance at the final four

But we did not. That is the responsibility of yeam and coach.
Glad we beat Nova twice but we caved down the stretch. We simply must get better talent. If St. Peter's can do it, then why settle for much less.

It doesn’t “mean” anything. It’s just interesting.

It’s not interesting enough to start a thread about it.  That’s just embarrassing.  It’s something fans who root for consistent losers do.   I know lots of MU fans are from Chicago so I get that they’re used to rooting for losers but it’s just a bad look all around.  Even if not intended as such, it comes off as a loser’s lament.

Which tells me Nova is asking, “How did we lose to these guys…. Twice?”

It's an outrage!

Perhaps. But given where they are they probably don't give it another thought. They are much more concerned about having to play in the FF without Justin Moore, a real shame.

[NCMUFan]

Shaka can use it as a recruit selling point.

[Farley36]

Marquette lost to DePaul.

Just sayin…..

[NCMUFan]

At least we didn't lose to Georgetown.

[MuggsyB]

My point was not that we should celebrate beating them twice as  if it some great achievement. 

[Farley36]

I’m not sure what point you could be trying to make that would make your initial post any less embarrassing.

Perhaps you are overreacting?

[Farley36]

By any chance are you from Chicago?

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Does this mean we're in the Final 4?

This is true, but I do not think we would have beaten any of the 8 seeds. we just would not have looked so bad losing.
