Well, we all wanted bench points last season and now we got them.

Well, we all wanted bench points last season and now we got them.

Sone of the starters should be bench players .

I'm hoping we are bottoming out and this season is a one off. Many tickets on Stubhub for $2. Weather, DePaul and the SHU performance to date make this a tough sell. I'm still optimistic about the SHU Program with or without the current staff. Both ways are possible. It's not hopeless, but they need to adjust their approach.

 

[SHUSA]

some of those bench players should be starting and the starters should be benched

Not sure if it is like football, but since SHUis the home team is that like a Pick-em game.

You are correct sir.

I am, for some reason, going tonight. Figure this is one of the best chances at a win at home this year.

Over under for actual number butts in seats tonight? Not the 8k figure that will be announced, I’m thinking maybe 2500 folks actually show up tonight.

I'd say 4500 in the arena. Our hardcore fans are very loyal. I could be wrong.

I would imagine a fair amount show up given the good chance we have to get a win for once.

If the game was a little later I would have made it and done a little pregaming at the Whiskey.

Hate to say it but I'd take the under on that # given the state of the team, a truly unsexy opponent and wind chills in the low teens.

 

[Fishjam]

If we don't win this one it will be very sad. Home game vs DePaul. Just our 2nd game in 17 days while DePaul is playing its 3rd game in 7 days, coming off a 44-point road loss to Nova on Saturday. With all this practice time we have to see some improvement, right?

I would normally drive up from Princeton but my wife is in bed with a bad cold. Have to watch on Peacock! Go Pirates!

If history of games after a lay-off holds true, we're in for a long night--God I hope not!
