Keeping Trapani on the bench at key moments also happened a lot last year. Al must see something on defense. Another WTF in our illustrious herky jerky history.
Me neither. As I recall, when we made the Elite 8 back in the 80"s, it was St. Joe's that prevented an All Big East Final 4 of Georgetown, Villanova, St. Johns and what would have been BC. Villy shot like 90% from the floor in the NC game to shock Georgetown. St. Joe's has our number. That was my concern heading into this game.
Your main concern going into last nights game, was the result of a game that happened in 1985? really?
No. It's the fact that we have played St. Joes I think a half dozen times since then but I don't recall ever beating them. Weird. It's not like they are a top tier team but we always seem to lose to them.
The last time we played St Joes was in 2003 (in my opinion too far back to have any relevance to this game) when they were a top tier team. To be honest, I don't think are past performances against them had anything to do with this game. BC lost because the best player, on a very possibly mediocre team, left four minutes into the game.
