Not at all.

Glad to hear that and I really hope you're right. I dont know what it is but the last two games whether it was his body language or effort, there is just something that leads me to worry he is checked out. That being said, Jamil is a complete enigma, as even the announcers alluded to, so who knows.

Feel better? Hope so

Do you?? You love it when they lose. Or at least it seems to be that way..."I will take this game for what it is, a good effort on the road". Is that what it's come down to?? You're happy when they play hard on the road?? Yipeeeeee! Some fan you are.

This just isn't our year, too many issues right now and there hasn't been a ton of improvement either. That's the difference between this team and the last few years. That said I think we all need to focus on the future, Burton will be a stud, Dawson played well tonight, and I think with time Johnson will be good, but he is having a rough start. Add in Fischer and things could be real good in two years...

That's what happens when you take a good 3/4 and play him out of position! We are weakening that position, at the expense of trying to find something that works at point.

Didn't see improvement tonight? I did.

This could be an elite 8 or final 4 team in two years. Time to start getting guys experience!

Gonna take this game for what it's worth , an encouraging performance on the road. We will win a key road game here and there and have our way with most teams at home.

I think Tower will be right. 9/0/8-1 at home, 4-5/5-4 on the road, and somewhere in the 12-6/13-5 in the Big East overall. Xavier is really damn good with one of the best guards in the country. They were thumping a strong Iowa team before Christon had severe cramps and they ended up kicking the game away late. If they finish that game out, X would probably have one loss right now (they took a couple of tough losses after that, but have been great from the Cincy game on). A really good team hit some tough shots late to put the game away. I doubted some after the Creighton game, but I think that was an aberration.

No the opposite actually. But I do respect the process, not just the result.


DO YOU??

Totally disagree. We get killed on the boards and we are in this game until the end. We needed some even officiating to make this a win rather than a L. Please remind me of a game MU has played in the last 10 years when we have seen this type of disparity.

Come on Gato. Yes Driscoll and Burr are notoriously not good regs, but the ft disparity had much more to do with our horrible defense than home cooking officiating. I actually thought the refs did a pretty decent job. Our defense put us in so many bad positions that we had no choice but to foul.

Syracuse. At home. Last February.
