We have not had a player on this team in 18 years........hard to believe, doesnt help that we havent had more than 1 win since 2004, but still. I said it a few weeks ago but IMO this weekend(starting today) is vital in regards to our run in the NCAA next week. If we do not make it to at least the finals, I fear doubts will creep into our players minds, since they will be constantly asked about their poor showings in postseason tournaments. Winning the BET or losing today or tomorrow does not guarantee anything, but for our players' state of mind IMO it is essential that they win at least twice. Not too mention I wont be able to watch Championship Week tv since all that we will hear is how Villanova postseason struggles continue. That destroyed my week this time a year ago, and did the same for the NCAA tournament after we lost. When we were a higher seed earlier in Jay's tenure it didnt affect me as much. But the way we have performed these past two seasons, the expectations just continue to go up. Today's game will tell me a ton about our players' mindset. Lets jump on Marquette early and erase any hope they may have of an upset. The longer an inferior team sticks around in a game, their confidence skyrockets. Case in point last Monday night in Creighton.
