This was a great win and it gives us some breathing room in the polls we didn’t have until today. Even if we were to lose to UConn next week, we would still be ranked in the top ten. This also puts us in a great position to earn a two seed. Fortunately, we have erased the stain of the December losses.

As for E5, he truely is the enigma. He has become the Twill of two years ago. For all of the great plays he makes, he makes some stupid, stupid turnovers. Thank goodness Pitino moved him out of the high post spot today. He was a turnover waiting to happen. E5 needs to concentrate on the offensive boards rather than look for that cross the lane shot. That shot is too difficult for him.

….only got to watch the 2nd half, but it looked like a game we EASILY could have lost. But this team is mentally and physically very tough.

USF and WVU this week.

Then UCONN baby. If we manage to be 8-0 when UConn comes to town, ranked #2 (or possibly but not likely #1), I think that game will manage to be even louder and crazier than ND and Pitt. Especially since it is a Monday night game.

WVU may be tough, I’m still not sold on them despite their gaudy CPU ratings.

The biggest thing is that this team has LOTS of room for improvement on offense.

could carry us a long way in the tournament. This year’s defense reminds me of the Charlie Jones, McCray brothers years — along with Derek Smith, of course — when we just dared people to try to score. Toughest basketball team I ever saw wear the red, black and white, I believe. Altitude (in New Mexico) cost them a national title, I’m convinced. This year’s team has the same kind of mental and defensive toughness.

If we ever start making shots, my goodness, gather in the dogs and piss on the fire ‘cause there’s some wild times comin’.
