You know

It really is amazing we’re only down 14

Nine three-pointers? Yeah, I’d say so.

Okay, little tipsy...

I looked at the screen and was like, ’Why did we change into dark jerseys at the half?"

Apparently I don't know how to read "new thread is up"

and was wondering why no one was saying anything to me.

Not that it matters much more (except for our 6 more games in the NCAA tourney), but perhaps you can close the threads when you start a new one up? ;-)

Listened to the first half on the radio. Steve Jones sounded suicidal.

We need to lose by no more than 15

A loss by more than that will look REALLY bad to the committee, right?

I look forward to the rest of the pictures at a later time.

If PU had only hit 40% from three point land...

it would only be a 10 point game at this point, which is right where we want them.

A10 is going to steal a spot

It’s going to be a Temple-Duquesne final, so an outside A10 team will be taking another spot.

It was going to take a perfect storm, and those clouds on the horizon are getting dark… </bad metaphor>

Plus

If Temple loses and Duquesne gets the auto bid, I could see the committee picking Temple over us now with their A-10 run and head-to-head win. So rooting for Temple would cut our losses to only 1 at large bid taken away instead of two.
