Well, sure.  My point still stands. 

Quote from: The Sultan on March 13, 2025, 04:10:08 PMWhat loser mentality.

Play to win.

Right, we won't play at earliest Thursday of next week.  Plenty of time to rest and recover.
Go all out.

Game will be at 3:30 my time - happy hour!

Quote from: BM1090 on March 13, 2025, 03:46:40 PMI think we had one Friday night in 17 years pre-Shaka. Three straight now.

That's not something I take for granted. Really cool.

I think there were three previous Friday nights, but no Saturday nights.

Which years? 2019 is the only one I recall. I remember some Thursday nights back when the tournament started on Tuesday

Good call

Last two years, I was of the mindset that it was fine to bow out early, stay healthy, get ready for the big dance. 

This year, I think for the confidence of the team, I'd love to see them take down the Johnnies and make it at least back to the finals.  Today was a good step, but want them to string together a few Ws to remind them of who they are. And, even a half a seed line bump could be a difference next week, so leave nothing to chance.

after tonight I think they know exactly who they are. Which makes me think they're playing on Saturday

Stay healthy and probably not a bad thing to just lose and get extra rest

Got a clutch win for momentum into next week already.

I think MU needs to win.  Prior to the X win we were projected as an 8 seed.  X + a loss doesn't move the seed line.  We are playing for the Sweet 16+.  Having to play a one seed in the second round isn't a recipe for a deep run.  Get past St John's and I think we move up a line or two. 

The prognosticators aren't giving the Big East much love.  St John's is listed as a three in a lot of places.  The Big 10/SEC/Big 12 make up the vast majority of 1-4.  Both Wisco and Purdue are projected as 4 seeds.  MU beat them both.
