Gotta wonder if Seton Hall's gonna have anything left for X tomorrow. I have to imagine whitehead's gonna be sore in the morning.


Yeah, you don't land on your tailbone or lower back like that without feeling it the next day. Ouch.


The good news for SHU is he's got til 9:30 to shake it off. The good news for X is the Pirates have to wear blue tomorrow, because they're still perfect in the white script unis.

1) Geoffrey Groselle
2) Everyone else

I won't miss him next season.

I think it started with JP trying that ridiculous over the head pass. Mack should've sat him and ripped him a new one. After that it got chippy the rest of the way.

I don't get it. They are an extremely disciplined and talented team, but time and time again I have seen them start playing like assholes once they are up 20. Oh well


It is tiresome, but remember that a lot of our best players are freshman and sophomores. The only thing that really bothers me is Jalen's decision making at times and James' whining. Other than that, Ed, Trevon, and JP, three of our most important guys, are all extremely young.

It started getting chippy when the crappy ellenson brother started flopping and hanging on to people. I wanted to see blueitt knock carter out. When your down 20+ you don't try and get in someone's face and have a stare down. Its very UC like.

This is pretty accurate. I want to hate JP Macura, but I don't...

Great late game last night. Kudos to both sides--very entertaining.

Hoping SHU has something left in the tank as that rubber match between X and SHU could be really good. Expect the same from Nova - PC.

I think SHU is another big away from being really special. I think Delgado is a good player but against most athletic imposing bigs he seems to shrink a little. At least that's what I see when he goes up against Ochefu. He could use a partner in crime down low. If SHU had someone like a Michael Graham-type from the old '84 G'town team, who could be more of a nasty presence inside, look the f' out.

Also the game just looked great on TV. Great crowd, great game, at the Mecca... can't ask for more.

Great game. Wish CU had that extra gear but just couldn't get it done. Watson was a shell of himself and Ziierden was completely ineffective, but Cole Huff looked like the second coming of Dougie.

Oh well.

Good luck to you all in the NCAAs. We will be cheering for you loudly here in Omaha.

He is really a good kid. I think he is a little awkward out there and that contributes to what happens. He does flop however, so I'm not trying to defend that. He gave up his scholarship this year so Creighton could get another player. (he is in graduate school)
