I disagree about the 10, but I still like your optimism

Have beaten them by 8 last two games with last year's team.. Figured DC/AK and portals good for 2+ pts on top of Big Three.. Saw the game vs Georgetown.. Nice game for them but wasn't blown away by their athleticism.

Still stand by 3-2 through our 5 game stretch.. A little surprised by lack of optimism .. I understand respecting the opponent but we've got to start a new streak.. #2 tonite
 
I can't post this in the haiku thread for reasons that will be come apparent, so am posting it here.

I'm struggling with the question of how does one do a control group when determining mojo? Last game I did not post in either the haiku or limerick threads (unintentional oversight) and poured myself a terrific local beer (General Braddock's) just prior to tip off. I will do both again for tonight's game. However, not posting in haiku/limerick threads comes at personal expense since I get a buttload of likes from those and I enjoy doing it. I guess I have to wait for a loss. I also guess this line of thinking could be taken too far as IIRC, I did not take a dump that day.

You're right. That would have been a bear to formulate in a series of 5-7-5s.

I gave you a like here so you don’t have to post in the haiku thread. I hope others do the same.

going through something similar. last game was the first time i have missed a haiku thread in years -- think it's for the best that we sit it out until the next lost.

I like Karaban getting all these minutes. Next year he's a beast.

It's all an investment. He's developing BBIQ on the defensive end now, and with a strong off-season in the weight room, he's going to be a beast.

I still don't love us leaving him on an island in games we're losing...but it's good experience for him individually regardless.

Agree with you re: SnC off-season.. The experience he's getting this year as a freshman is priceless and I'm sure humbling.. Coach and film can educate you on a lot of stuff.. Living through it and experiencing it on a first hand basis is frequently a more effective vehicle for growth..

He's a smart guy.. He gets it and will be better for it.. Will be one of our positional strengths next year.

Mojo does interesting things for Saturday noon tips. Less haiku activity but the Creighton monkey was still thrown off our backs. I think the mojo is what you make of it. I'd stick with Braddock's while it works. Personally I'm undefeated with gennie cream this year

We had a different team last year, so those results are meaningless. Their players were mostly freshmen last year and the year of experience makes them completely different this year as well.

You can tell how in their head multiple of our guys are about the shooting woes right now, they are hesitating like crazy even on wide open shots. We need a good night to get them back on track firing away.

Yeah we just obliterated them on the boards and in the paint with Martin last year (5 o boards one game, 8 2 pointers made in the other). He's gone.

But they are a bad rebounding team again

I haven't watched them that much but the only reason they were even in that game against Purdue was dominating the offensive glass. Just an anomaly?

Seems like Karaban knows what he is supposed to be doing. He isn't getting burned by not being in the right spot or poor fundamentals.

He simply isn't strong enough to play strong stretch 4's. At least not yet.
Expand ...
And he’s isn’t fast enough. He’s getting burned by quicker feet, I was watching his defense pretty close last couple games

I'm watching the Jim Rome show on that so called garbage network right now. So some people do get that channel.

We need this W. Have to prove we can beat an upper echelon team on their home court. If we can’t do that, and we’re 0-2, we aren’t going deep in the NCAAs.
Expand ...
It’s been a yearly thing. Needs to end tonight
 
Need our guards to play better on ball defense and hustle to get back. Other than Diarra at times, they’ve been really bad. I wonder if Hurley makes an adjustment with Karaban on defense

We’re good tonight. Due for better shooting.

Yeah we need JC or NA to hit a couple of shots and hopefully at least a 3rd scorer In double figures besides Sanogo and Hawkins. We are do for a decent to good offensive effort. Offensively they have been much better than us in league play but our D is vastly superior. Something’s gotta give

id like to see Alex more involved offensively. He deserves an 18+ point game and it would make us so much more dangerous if he’s more or a threat.

He needs to face up and be a threat to drive. He often doesn't even look at the rim. Probably an off-season project. He's great at spacing the floor, finding open spots for shots, and cutting... but without the threat of a drive he's too limited on that end.

X v Creighton on FS1, so it's not about AAC.

When I looked that Big East schedule this past Sunday I was hoping that the Xavier-Crieighton game and UConn-Marquette games were on different times so I could watch both live. But I do know the influence that TV networks have on game schedules so I have to accept it.

So we've beaten them the last four games-- Assuming that's meaningless-- They have a team significantly made up of players from last year's team that played meaningful minutes for them. I think we have upgraded our team from the previous two years when we beat them four times..

Its good for the BE that they're having a good year.. Tonite will be a meaningful road win for us on Selection Sunday..

I still like our chances.
