NET rankings

The frustrating part is a lot of other stuff broke right this weekend:
  • Vandy beat Mississippi, basically knocking them out of contention and helping us simultaneously
  • Morehead beat Belmont, ditto
  • Minnesota lost at Nebraska
  • Maryland just beat Michigan State
  • Drake lost
  • Indiana got smoked again
  • Stanford lost to Oregon State
  • Boise lost twice, creating some differentiation in the MWC
If we had won at SLU, we'd be in a pretty good spot. Alas...
 
Nice write up on the bubble games and they did fall in our favor except the one we played.

Friday loss at SLU pretty much takes us out of at large consideration. A10 tournament or bust. I do think we have the talent to beat any team in the A10 on any given night. Of course the flip side is true as well.

The plan... best SJU and then win quarters/semis/championship rounds.

Go Spiders!

Someone said "SLU's best (only) road win is against 300+ Fordham. That's an even more fatal flaw than having a Q4 loss."

So I said "How about two?"

Seriously. We've been so bad at home most of the past 4 years or so. That has to change with the new coach. Make rebounding and defending the home court priorities, please.
 
5-4 Top 2 Q not so bad
7-4 Bottom 2 Q not so much...
 
agreed. beyond ****ing tired at this point. hopefully his dumbass can come up with a new routine before next season starts
I must smile and suggest that it is beyond boring when one's only contribution consists of the remorseless attacks on our school, coaches and players. I can say the future is bright and greatness awaits, as long as those who hate Mooney continue to call for his head. I can also suggest that those who call for the Coach to be drawn and quartered need counseling. Get a referral. Breathe deeply and let go of your anger. Take steps to let go of your anger and you will feel better. When managing anger, success comes with little steps. Drink the Kool-Aid. It would help to add copious amounts of alcohol.

Perhaps if you and others, including the coach and his boss, took it a bit more seriously we wouldn't be the red headed step child in the city whose name we bear.
Right, I am sure that Gallipoli's posts are the root of the problem. It has been a fun year. This board has become toxic. See you all next season.

If you think this season's posts were toxic, don't even think bout coming back next year. There are sure to be some frustrated hombres, team performance is going to be tough to take.

If we can stay at #68, shouldn't we be the last team in the tournament? ;)
