86 points

This is a nice sign at least. Was not sure we could score that many in an empty gym playing against an imaginary team. Maybe Slappy finally realized he does not know what he is doing and is just going to let Boothe run the offense and stay out of the way? Other far more successful coaches than Slappy have pulled this off. Now if the players could just substitute themselves in and out of games we might really have something! Hey if we could average around 70, no matter how many games we win, at least it will be more enjoyable than the prostate exam that was the last four years!

Good job by Norm and staff.

come on...lets not get too far ahead of ourselves...we are a big east team that dropped 86 on an ivy...a good sign, yes...but not worth getting too excited about

You have clearly never read any of my posts! Just trying to express some positivity early in the season. And it is not as if I compared one of our players to one of the top 10 players in the NBA or something

BTW this is the first time I have ever been accused of being overly positive on either of the two boards I post on. Going to save this!

Let's enjoy it while we can.  Every win will boost the confidence of this team and make us more competitive come Big East play.

I am trying to hold my excitement just like you SJD.  That being said I just went and looked at our scores from last year and we only scored more than 80 once and it was against Farleigh Dickinson.  Heres to hoping it continues this year unlike last year!

LOL. It's ok to be excited or happy after a win. I don't think anyone is getting delusional and taking it more than what it is worth. He isn't saying we're winning the Big East after the win but it was a good win and the team played really well on the road. You have to be happy about that.

86 points was an anomaly last year. i think we win. more importantly BC will not cover.

I know some of us are excited the team dropped 86 last night against Cornell. However, some of the posters are downplaying it too because Cornell is an Ivy Leauge team.

What if we drop another 80 plus game tonight (in a win) against BC. Would that get you excited? Or at least having the negative OR not so positive posters thinking we might be heading in the right direction?

No, some will find something else to complain about

Well said.

A win tonight would be saying something.  Hey, we are 2-0 baby!!!  Innocent 'til proven guilty and good 'til proven otherwise!!

There was a thread here a few minutes ago asking the question about what would make so here happy..    itsa a very good question...

No idea where the thread went but here is my response to that post...


I will be pleasantly surprised if they win tonight, I could care less if they score 50 or 80 points...   it would be a very nice win and send them to MSG for a great start to the season.

I will be happy when the team shows a consistent effort and gets the occassional result that is not exepcted... at this point and with this crew I can't exepct much more...

The team is not good, its not hard to see that..  especially in this conference...   but to watch them get destroyed time and time again the past two years and lose to teams that have no business beating a solid Big East team is disheartening. They have been embarrassed time and time again on their home court...   its one thing to lose to teams that you are just not as talented as but not get embarrassed...    terrible home losses have been the staple of the Norm Roberts Era here...

This team/program has gotten so bad that its doesn't even deserve the blind loyalty of its fan base. The time has come for them to earn our support again...

I'm starting to get that the same feeling I had before the Maryland game 2 years ago.  Hopefully things go a little differently this time around.

Thinking about that game turns my stomach.  I remember being almost excited, and then...

But at least they played Texas close the next day.

I went to that game with a buddy of mine who didn't go to SJU and I was totally embarrassed to have dragged him along for that pounding the team took.

I also hope that things will be different... and think it will.
