Saw this quote from Sha. That sums it up. After all this bipolar play and gnashing, starting Saturday you’ve got chances over the final 3 games to make a statement. Hopefully these guys will be highly motivated. Especially with how the first games went against Connecticut and St. John’s.

Odds are long but hey, that’s why they play the games. 2018-19 took advantage of similar.

Ehhh. We were ranked 25th, put us in a good position, we lost to average teams at home, plus the choke game @ Creighton.

Unfortunately we likely won’t win another conference game this year. Schedule is too tough. Plus, Sha has yet to win a BE tournament game. Decent season.

Need to do a complete 180 from the recent play.

The odds on losing the next 3 are far greater than winning them. That being said what are the chances this team upsets UConn or St Johns if they play down to our level of offense incompetence? We seem to have a knack for dragging teams down to our level.

If you believe in odds, we are due for an all-around good game.
Well maybe not this team, but we can hope.

Through 17 BE games; the team is dead last by a wide margin in offense in all key areas.

Of note:

2PT: .463 (last)
3PT: .274 (last)
And 10/11 in TO margin.

Insane numbers. Teams have been packing it in on us all conference year. To be 9-8 carrying this is something regardless of league and year. That defense should get an award as the team plays with one arm tied behind its back.

Agree, it’s amazing that we probably get a bye into the BET quarterfinals. Have to give credit to the players and coaches Because the talent just doesn’t match up to most BE rosters.

I would suggest we take 18 3's or more the next 3 games as we are bound to make the majority of them at some point and if we do we win that game no matter who we play whether it be St Johns, UConn or X.

The only thing I'm grasping to at this point is that this is the first time since our decline in play that we actually have a week off to rest while Uconn hosts St. Johns on Weds.
We’re going to find out how big of an impact this rest storyline has. We’re going to have open perimeter shots and be able to get to the line against Connecticut. Need a huge game knocking them down.

Nice hype video. Some of these highlights/moments are getting old though, need to create some new ones.

So hoisting up 20 3’s does sound like a winning strategy.
