wgstl Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 for the first time this season, I'm taking the low expectation route. Hopefully it reverses the outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the only other one I sorta had this for was Memphis, but I thought they were still going to be wayy too young when we played them which would have helped. The next time I was starting to get this feeling, in-between the Bonnies and Davidson, lasalle kept giving me false hope again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 OK people stop being afraid, we are going to win this. If we do not I will be wrong, not for the first time in my life, and not the last time either, not yet anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 While I will always get excited to watch a Bills game, after the Bona and Davidson games I am tamping my expectations down. We've always seemed to match up well with Richmond for some reason, and I'll be wanting a W tonight big time, but I'm not letting my expectations get the better or me. This season can only be successful with a dance invite, and we're gonna have to pull off a miracle in DC to get that. Too much inconsistent play from this team at this point in the season. We ought to be hitting our stride going into March. Instead, we're stumbling and fumbling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A10Ref Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 As I said in the wiz game thread, the whole season is out the window for everyone. Whoever stumbles these last 3 will not win in DC. Whoever wins out will be the favorite. The top 5 all have top 5 matchups, and we will see how they go. Also, there are lots of land mines out there (St. Joes, Rhode Island, La Salle, Mason).

Blue Kool-Aid is so addicting but always leads to disappointment.

With the context of losing 3 best players we've had in quite some time, outside of the travis ford era, this would be an expected "rebuilding year" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OkieBilliken Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 They are honoring their 800 seniors tonight, even though it’s not their final home game. Does it seem like Gilyard has been there for ten years. A10Ref likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fall in that camp too...but mostly because with all three of those players SLU went to the NIT last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it seem like Gilyard has been there for ten years. Is this really Richmond's "Senior night"? If so does anyone knows if they do the ceremony before or after the game? This may have some kind of effect upon the outcome of the game tonight, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after sitting on it a while, you gotta come back to reality. At the end of the day, we’re fans of a program that had made the tournament 10 times in its history. Of course I want us to be better and go on a decade-long run that changes that. But to expect to make the tournament every year, especially in one that was supposed to be a rebuilding year, isnt good for anyones mental health.

I just think its the fact that at a point in time, this late in the season we were in the picture. And now that we're not, just feels like a big letdown.. which could be what 72 is talking about.

757billiken Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I'll be there tonight. Should be a raucous environment. I think Gibson will go off playing in front of his family. Anybody else going to be there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
