Just Bouknight for me. We were a top 25 team when just Bouknight was playing well and everyone else was meh. Now a lot of people have stepped up.gotta get bouknight & akok suited up
then i’m not worried
I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but I think anyone expecting Akok to contribute this season is kidding him or herself. He sat out a while, then returned and was unable to contribute meaningful minutes, then he got injured again. Not sure what part of that inspires such confidence.gotta get bouknight & akok suited up

I don't know much abut basketball, and even less about sports medicine, so I hope I am way off base. I just don't see it happening.
A bag of tricks, nope. Bouknight is back and Jackson is back, we have the talent to play with and beat anyone. Not making the tournament would be a major disappointment.i’m just thinking, worst case, a decoy
it‘s time to pull out a bag of tricks if there’s a chance of getting to the tournament and winning a game or 2

Really feel badly for Akok. He probably had a progression path in his mind that does not match his reality today. Hope he fights through this adversity and comes out better on the other side.I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but I think anyone expecting Akok to contribute this season is kidding him or herself.

This all may be true but it doesn't change the reality that we have to get a couple more quality wins. Unless our home ppd games against Nova & Xavier are rescheduled our best 3 games left are all away (Nova / Xavier / SH).Yeah I don't get the Debbie Downer "wing and a prayer" vibe from some corners. If bouknight is back at 100% there are maybe 3 teams in the country that i'd be nervous about them going up against right now, and none of them are in the Big East. It actually makes a team better when they get a lottery pick who is one of the best scorers in college basketball back, and even without him this team - while not without its challenges - is not a bad team.
15-16i love the supreme confidence..but you gotta be practical
i seriously thought the 16/17? a loaded team with dham, purvis, adams, the transfers would go far...
this team is gonna live or die on bouknight. the neymar of the big east
nice. i ended up going the nova parade on broad street. short walk from my home.15-16
that was a really good squad just ran into Perry Ellis and his kids
They are not an ncaa team.Ha yea you NEED to win a game against a top 4 team in the conference without your best player lol. Gimme a break. Everyone knows we’re a different team with Bouknight, and people know we were a top 25 team with him. The supporting cast is improving.
No chance they make it. This team finishes w a losing recordChanging my vote to no!!!!!!
Not regression, the star player doesn’t want to play. Just a matter of time before that spirit catches on. Watch the recruits now...Regressed for sure.
This is a .500 team we’re playing. This season is about to get uglyWe’re playing without our leader and lottery pick, we aren’t good enough to win these games without him.
Bouknight is currently counting money, no more gamesI still say it depends on Bouknight and Akok coming back or not. If you had asked me at the beginning of the season if this was an NCAA team with no Bouknight or Akok I’d have said no way. If Bouknight comes back next game and they win like 4 or 5 games in a row then it changes.
