Our Next Tight Game

[AZHuskiePop]

Remaining games that would be acceptable Ls are
@Xavier
@Nova

Creighton if back at full strength can be added to the list.
I agree on @ Nova
The last game of the year with an NCAA bid ( for them) possibly riding on it could be a much more difficult than it appears today .
How we handle a road game against a decent conference opponent this week could be a predictor of the future. Very interesting game .

I went to this really good BBQ place for the first time recently and I asked the pit master what's the best thing on the menu and he says I need to get the sandwich with the strange name, "It's just like the McRib but even better." Me, "Thanks, I'll get the pastrami."

I would go to another place lol

 

[Waquoit]

we have 1 win in our last 10 Conference openers. That in and of itself is scary without talking about opponent, and not every team we had that lost in that streak was a bad one

But it says right here in the fine print "Past performance is no guarantee of future results".

No problem there, but if it was a good BBQ joint I would've tried it. I mean the McRib is mystery meat, but there is nothing wrong with a good boneless piece of real pork in BBQ sauce with pickles and onions on some good bread from a reputable place. You shouldnt have scoffed. Pastrami is always a solid choice at BBQ places who are trying to branch into that (and more an more are) but that is something most get really wrong.

Can't make doomed jokes any more.

Unidentified gender neutral persons... May take personal offense for failing to see there may be an inside joke that they missed!

 

[jibsey]

So what do you want to talk about?

What happened. after the Butler game. Or, does anyone have any killer recipes?

Double doomed if we cave to that nonsense.

Question about pastrami at a BBQ place - is it brine-cured and then smoked, or is it simply a dry-rubbed pastrami-spiced smoked brisket?

I’ve actually tasted both

Bears does a nice one

Semi-related: I've given a YouTube Instant Pot recipe a couple tries, but I haven't yet worked with a fatty enough piece of brisket to keep it suffiently "juicy." Working with a packaged corned beef that gets washed of & re-spiced is a decent learning tool, even if it retains some of the infused corned beef brine.

Real pastrami isn’t brisket it’s “ plate”. There is plenty of really good pastrami brisket , bears being a smokehouse example, but that will NEVER work in an instapot. It’s a 10 day process and a low and slow smoke and then a cook after .

Man! I avoided this post because of the JV title and missed the best spitting contest in a long time.

Thank you for this post @HuskylnSC it made me do a deep dive into this thread. It's pure Gold.

We're not a Pastrami/Jewish deli city like NYC, heck NYC barely is anymore but the Pastrami is legit at the place...

 

[SwingDog]

Lots of time off between our games is causing this thread to go speculation crazy, granted we have nothing else to do. Here’s a novel idea, let’s play a couple BE games and see what happens, and in the mean time take our bp medicine to make sure we survive until that game.

But you are the one who started the thread, and asking people when "our next tight game" will be begs for speculation, yes?

 

[Huskybass]

Butler certainly won’t be any louder than Florida. You think they’re much better?

Do disrespect to Butler but we haven’t had a moment of doubt in a single game yet, against much better teams

What you say is true, but there are lots of hungry teams during conference play. That said, if we stay healthy we could just become an absolute buzzsaw.

Does this taste anything like NY deli pastrami ? Pastrami like that is pretty hard to make and it is an addiction of mine as you all know.

Karen had an absolute meltdown and called someone who was being polite the Karen! It really was something to see. The alluding to never playing on a championship team (implying they have) was the cherry on top

Got triggered and went into a blind rage, swinging at everyone within arms reach lol

Are in a little reverse misogynist and some ageism sprinkled in!

Well there goes butler lol glad we got through that tight one

 

[RedStickHusky]

So, our next tight game.... will be our first. Doesn't mean it isn't coming.

 

[tzznandrew]

Well there goes butler lol glad we got through that tight one

We did play pretty terrible and it was a 4 point game with under 10 left.

But... this team is just very good.

You along with some others say we played terrible. I thought we played really well but just missed a lot of open shots. Had we shot it even a little better we would have won by 30

Making shots is, I don't know, one of the major factors of playing well? It's definitional there.

 

[imno1]

It just doesn’t give credit to how well the team performed in other aspects of the game. Since we won by 22 our low shooting % wasn’t a big deal last night. But it’s just my opinion

 

[bigknight3]

But playing under control, playing tough on defense, running your offense, moving the ball, and getting open shots are all positives.

Having an off night and missing shots we'd normally make at a decent percentage doesn't equal terrible. I feel like that comes with the territory at times when playing a difficult environment in a road game in the Big East.

Even though they cut it to 4 points, it didn't feel like we had lost control it the game at any point.

Ever any doubt?

And we just missed open shots. I don’t think that’s not playing well

Clearly, we did other very important things well, namely defend and rebound. The 22 point margin is a testament to how well the team performed overall despite sub par shooting.
