"All we can hope for is that they kick butt in both [tournaments] but I'm certainly not expecting it."
This would make a good game day t-shirt to represent those whose confidence in this team is captured by the OP.
Too late to get one now. So we have to do what we can with what we have.
Yep, that's the amazement built into this thread.
Who starts a present-tense thread that instantly presents an impossibility?
We broke the press once, and Hawk and Adama had a 2-on-1; and Hawk pulled up and held the ball. I couldn’t believe it.
Seton Hall had no place bringing it within 6. We once again had 16 or so point lead that we pathetically nearly choked away. Late-game decision making continues to plague us. Seton Hall is not a very good team; if this happens again against Providence, we will be embarrassed again. It would be one thing if we just missed shots, or rebound’s didn’t land our way; but the way we tighten up late in games, now even with a huge lead, is really something else. I really wish I had no reason to be a broken record on this.
Maybe posts like this are freaking the team out, so that they can't play better, and instead play worse.
These posts can't possibly be helpful, but it's like nobody can stop themselves from being anxious, concerned, worried, pessimistic, and unhappy with coaches and players who can't or won't change.
How does it make sense for people who don't change to be unhappy with people who don't change?
Look at the way this board stays uptight after a victory and wonder what that's about.
