RE: Temper Your Expectations
If we lose, celebrate a decent year and the career of some great seniors.

But that's IF we lose. Game is still up, we ain't done and we ain't scared.

GTG!

I believe we will win....no matter what it takes or what categories of the above we excel in. Joe knows how to win.

I always think we can win every bb and every football game.

Don't tell me how high to get before a game or how to behave after a game.

But you have a right to post whatever you wish, of course.

"I thought we did an unbelievable job of fighting to hang in there when you're not making anything,'' Boeheim said. "When you're not making anything from the perimeter, it's hard.''

And JP gets ripped by the low IQ's for saying the same thing.

I actually thought we had it in us for 6-7 minutes there. Then we regressed. Joe is still sleeping.

(03-23-2014 08:47 AM)KidMemphis Wrote:  I love my Tigers as much as the next guy, but some on this board just need to relax and calm down. Virginia is a very good team. Beating good teams and winning in the tournament usually comes down to doing most of the following:

- Taking care of the basketball and keeping turnovers down
- Making free throws
- Playing solid TEAM defense
- Making 3 point shots
- Having the best player on the court that can takeover a game
- Winning the battle on the glass

Unfortunately we do most of these things poorly. This team has intangibles that can make us very competitive and win us some games but they are far from consistent as a team and can struggle mightily at times. So, before the board melts down if we can't do these things well today, I thought I'd throw out this warning to consider the above before being surprised if they fail to meet your expectations today.

With this particular Tiger team, the path to happiness is low expectations. I would love nothing more than for them to harness their potential once and for all and go on a tourney run for the ages. This would be the game to set the tone for this run. I've gotten so down, frustrated, and disappointed when we have struggled in big games this year. I want and believe we can win, but we need to excel in the areas above tonight. If we don't, we won't win, and you shouldn't run to this board to bash away and whine when/if it happens. Go Tigers!

He tried to warn y'all ...
