Does SU need to win the BE bash...

I see. Thanks. I had trouble following his syntax.

However, it is still a moot argument, as Butler beat us and, given AO's injury, would've beaten us later on the tournament. It's the old "if the bear hadn't stopped to take a shite, he wouldn't have been shot" logic.

I agree about too much rest and sitting around would not help this team. JB also agrees with us, based on what he said in the press conference right after the UCONN game.

Take care and thanks for clarifying. Go Cuse!

How could it be a moot point? If we had been placed in our rightful spot as the 3rd #1 seed, we would have been where Duke was, which COULD(not guaranteed) have put us in a better position to win with easier teams to beat.

In addition, we nearly beat Butler in that game. It wasn't like they dominated the game. To say they would have beaten us in the Championship is not guaranteed. The entire circumstance would have been different. Again, they won a close fought battle the first time. They were not a team that could dominate us. Maybe a few shots don't fall in another circumstance in a different arena. MAYBE they would have lost earlier in the Tourney due to different matchups...

Again, this is all speculation, but to say we WOULD have lost is ignoring the change in circumstances...

AND... Maybe Duke beats them in that bracket, & then we beat Duke.

In hindsight, we probably had better odds in the other bracket, but who knew at that time?

No they don't. They appear to have the #1 seed locked up for the NCAA show. And normally, given their position, I wouldn't care if they cut down the net at MSG. A loss means more rest and practice and less chance of injury. But I want them to cut down that net. I want this team to have that BE championship in their pocket. Another accomplishment to hold onto whatever happens after.

Did the Germans need rest before they bombed Pearl Harbor? Cut down the MSG nets!

I say cut 'em down anyway, win or lose... Just start cutting !!!
