Get a win tonight after a short recovery time and this team will be......is there a word for super-monumental?

[Cteve]

The remaining schedule is daunting. .500 in those games looks pretty good right now.
Being in the top top isn't going to scare anybody.

[friara]

.500 the rest of the way probably puts us in an 8-9 NCAA game.

I see 4 games where we should be solid favorites...the 2 against DePaul, SJU, and Creighton. Thinking we probably goof one of them and go 3-1.

I see 2 games where we will be solid dogs. At X and at Seton Hall. Thinking 0-2 there.

I see 4 games that are tossups and will determine our fate. 2 against Gtown, at MQ and home against Nova.

I think we are probably last 4 byes or play in of we finish 9-9
8-9 seed if 10-8
6-7 seed if 11-7
4-5 seed if 12-6

So my head tells me that getting 4 more and getting to the NcAAs for the 3rd straight year is still the goal. But my heart tells me that we won't see a duo like Bentil And Dunn for a long, long time...and another 1 and done in March isn't enough to satisfy.

Friars play well at the Prudential Center.

But my heart tells me that we won't see a duo like Bentil And Dunn for a long, long time...and another 1 and done in March isn't enough to satisfy.

enjoy every game that remains, air balls, turnovers and all... win or lose...a special duo.

[friara]

We do play pretty well there...but it's rarely against a good team. I think this SH team could be real good.

[pcdad]

Maybe the Road Warrior Friars will show at the Dunk?...

Play On!


This is a season to remember despite the wrinkles.
