...I want the world to know

Sorry. Got carried away with a nostalgic musical moment.

That song is a banger, for real.

Solo has a nice midrange shot. I wish he used it more.

93-68=35???

Even Calhoun was closer in recapping a game. I always got a kick out of Coach when he never got the score right, or the clock time, or the runs in the game etc. the details always eluded him. He was usually in the vicinity though.

Is Gus on the call again tonight? I unfortunately assume he will be.

Gus Johnson and Jim Jackson tonight

Raftrey is an absolute gem, still has his fastball. Going to be a sad day when he finally decides to hang it up

That won’t be just a nickel dimer when that day comes.

After the Marquette game there was no where to go but up. I realized we were bad in that game but they mentioned on the radio how historically bad we were. Worst shooting percentage in 4 years. Worst 3 point percentage since leaving the AAC. Yet we still had a chance to send it to OT. I am going to file that game as a one off. Got it out of the way before the post season.

Yeah, if you look at all the rest of the numbers, they're not bad. Certainly a couple things a touch below average that make the difference in a one possession game, but nothing crazy. And they killed them on the boards. Still held them to 64 pts before the double T on Hurley. Outside of the terrible 3P shooting, I thought Marquette just played really well. Why they couldn't manage to do that more often before the final game is a mystery.

Why? So we can have a tougher game and lower our NET rankings. Playing Gtown does nothing for us if we win and if we lose it will kill us. Georgetown is the tougher match up for us due to their size and athletes. Once Villanova lost Hodge they lost any chance of doing anything in either the big east or ncaa tournament. I hope we demolish Gtown tomorrow but we have not always beat teams we should handily and lost twice to inferior teams.

Because I like watching the underdogs win until they play us and get sent packing, that's why.
