“We prepared them to just roll over for us”

[HallX2]

and we were kinda loosey goose in practice, per Carino.

What can you say? It’s a all too common hallmark of Kevin's Teams. And it rears it’s head most often when they are tasting some prosperity. Puzzling to me.

Honk honk

It’s absurd. And KW tells the public that he knew they were being lackadaisical with the prep work. Then we wonder why we’re down 16 to an inferior team at home. It’s just ridiculous and should be unacceptable to Willard and the players. They’re all accountable.

My God, you’re playing for an NCAA berth!!! We’re in Game 14 of the BE! Have we become so casual as a program that we settle for just getting in and not having to push until we have to? We have 3 bad home losses. How many more on the Bubble boast that?

Let’s hope they’re embarrassed enough where a fire is lit for the final 4 games. Maybe then Shavar’s shot not going in will pay off more down the stretch.

Yes.

And its not like xavier is a cupcake lol. Weve lost to almost every single big east team... why are we ever, for one second, thinking a big east game will be easy? Astonishing.

They have too get outta that mindset. Final four games will be tough.

We have to play defense like we did in our last game, and for the whole game. They were intense. Our shots weren't falling in the first half, but the D still has to play hard, like their NCAA lives depend on, it because they do. As this board has been saying since before the season started, Powell needs help on offense. Another shooter has got to step up. Imagine what we'd be like without MP.

Is there a player in college basketball who is more valuable to his team? MP is not the best player in the nation, but in terms of wins and losses and the difference if you remove one player from a team, where would there be a wider falloff than a Powell-less Seton Hall?
