If that doesn't happen we can win every remaining game and we will not get a bid. We're hanging by a thread onto the Dayton play-in game. We need all the help we can get.

Well stated and right on!

EEHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I don't think I can root for VCU.

Trombone's gone and broken the space-time continuum with the width of his post. Oh dear.

Well said. A lot of posters here are like that weird girl who stalks her ex-boyfriend's Facebook hoping that he's only dating fat girls, when really she should be more concerned about her own life.

Man, if I had a hundred bucks every time that was said.

I'd have a hundred bucks.

I also love that the space-time continuum post is post# 42

This road trip scares the hell out of me.

It's time to put up or shut up. Are we contenders or pretenders? These two schools in Texas do not have intimidating home courts. Even UTEP, in the games I've seen have big crowds, but not very energetic. UTSA is a high school gym.
Business trip, come home for huge game next Saturday with La Tech.

Sounds like I need to post another poll

Let's channel the spirit of that other San Antonio basketball team (the championship winning kind!) and get out of town with a win!

And when in El Paso, don't eat the Mexican food the miners send to our rooms.

I have a bad feeling about tonight. This team is solid on the inside and shoots a ton of freethrows (and thus draws a lot of fouls). It's going to take our best effort.

I have a bad feeling as well. We are banged up and a long way from home.

This is a road game that must be won. And I think the squad knows it. No pressure at all!

Uhh, I think with the exception of Freeman and coach, we are mostly pretenders. But I still love the team and want so bad to win the next two games!!

You guys need to step up your confidence! Monarchs win 68-60.

put me in the same bad feeling boat. this is potentially going to be a very long road trip.

we were contenders right up til the day we got ranked in the top-25. I never thought in a million years that would be such a curse.
