No va is Spanish for 'won't go'

[Jockey]

Respectfully disagree.

I'll vote for the 100-point win vs. Providence last year. We were 0-3 in the Big East and had lost 5 of our previous 6 games. We desperately needed a win. We crushed a ranked Providence team, and that victory ignited the 8-1 run over the next month the put us in the NCAA Tournament. Could also go for either of the two wins over Nova during that streak.

However, these things often are revealed in hindsight. For example, Providence wouldn't have been such a big win last year if we had gone 3-5 over the next 8 games. So who knows ... maybe by season's end, this win will have proven to be as huge as you say.

I get your point, Mike, but no one realistically thought MU was a Week 2 tournament team last year. This year a lot of us think they are. A win like today shows us we can win in week 2.

BEast coaches picked us 9th both years.

After we fell to 0-3 last year, the narrative among many on Scoop was that we sucked. That Providence win, especially the way it was followed by the others that month, flipped many into thinking we had a real good shot at an NCAAT run.

This season, I thought the win vs. Baylor showed how good we can be, as did several others, as did this one.

I actually hope you turn out to have been right -- that we go on to win a bunch of games and advance to the second weekend. Of course, if we do that, there will have been a whole lot of "best wins" over the next 3 months!

Today was a very good win and a big step in the right direction. This team looks to be built for the whole season and not just a great month. Time to keep on winning.

[Newsdreams]

Great win but I'll say it again:

Hit your damn free throws!!!!! 

Especially with the game on the line.

Great to finally win a close one.  Won it with D.  But Kam can you please take your time on that final free throw

Was that his normal routine....looked like he just chucked it...I was in awe.

I hope you are right, Goose. The difference between this years team and last is that this team is better than the sum of its parts.

He missed it to make the game a bit more exciting.

Par for the course, you Wordle for over an hour? Figures

I like you a lot Tower but, no va literally means it doesn't go. No va is no irá, the effin lawyer made me do it or was invoicing me another 1k.

[LloydsLegs]

¡De nada!

How much is that going to cost me?

Jop didn't have a good game, but that was the most aggressive I recall ever seeing him on defense.

I agree. Jop needs to play defense if he wants minutes on this team. He has good offensive skills (usually). If he can commit to defense too, he'll have a role on this team into the future.

If Stevie is capable of scoring 19, opposing coaches are going to hate playing this team.  If the defense can finish possessions we might be cooking with something here.

I thought about that.  So I checked three different sites.  Doesn't go is the first option.  Won't go is next.   We can use either in reference to the last shot.  I like 'won't go.'

However, if it is important to you, I will change the thread title to 'doesn't go. '

I agree with this analysis.
