Obviously everyone can talk about what they want, but to me this is not the right discussion coming off last night.  The right discussion is that we're now 1/4 through the Big East schedule, having played to date without our 7'2" lottery pick, and having played 3 of 5 on the road, and we're still tied for first.  One game ahead of Creighton and two ahead of Marquette.  Looking at the schedule for the next 5, and assuming (conservatively I hope) that maybe we get DC back for the second half of the conference schedule, we have 3 games we should win at home, Creighton at home and at Nova.  Win 1 of those 2, get to 8-2 in conference over the next 3 weeks, and enter the second half no worse than tied for first and ready to start putting all our weapons together for the stretch run.

Pollsters can do what they want.  But last night's really strong performance given all the circumstances (and excluding that we decided to take a knee and run out the clock a minute too early, and didn't figure out that that strategy requires not fouling on defense) has put us in a strong position to finally win this damn conference.
