The main thing is are the guys excited to play on? Are the shackles of the disappointing season off now after that dominating second half? Are they loose and ready to roll? Are they together now? If the answer is yes then they can get a run going. Bg won’t be playing at home now. We can get them. But it’s going to take Moses and Teague negating the big Bg kid who kills us. And it’s going to take Persons finding g his mojo again. (No turnovers and steady play last night was a good start). If we are aggressive and have energy and hit our FTs we can beat BG. One step at a time. No talk of anything else. The formula for success for the Cards isn't all that hard to figure out, which makes this season all the more disappointing. But maybe they can hold on to something from the EMU game and carry it forward instead of reverting to the form of the previous 18 games.

If we beat BGSU that’s a real win and if we see Toledo we could play our way into the Final!
These kids have nothing to lose other than another game and they likely will play very loose. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone goes off for 25-30 vs BGSU.
It’s a new season and records mean nothing. We match up pretty well vs BG and Toledo. Oh god what would the naysayers do?!

Oh god what would the naysayers do?! What, so you think beating BGSU would somehow set this season right and validate Whitford's career. Did the Chinese slip some opium into your tea ?

The naysayers were not wrong about a crappy season. And why is it always about naysayers? The team sucked this season. No way around it. A win or two in the Mac tourney ain’t gonna change that. Only a Mac championship can save this season.

I don't know, Kid, why don't you tell us what the naysayers would say since you've pretty much been on the naysayer bandwagon for the last half of the season.

Pontificate: express one's opinions in a way considered annoyingly pompous and dogmatic.
I think he really just likes to pontificate.

I’ve definitely been a naysayer the last half the season for sure!
I’m simply saying what would we say if we go to the Final or better yet won the damn tournament?
I said we make it to at least the conference final and while I wouldn’t love our path of getting there it would have achieved my goal?
Most of us say it’s all about the tournament let’s just see
We’re loose and I wouldn’t want to play us at the moment. I think we will be a tough out

Tournament championships. As long as the tournament gets us into March Madness, it's all I care about. Tournament runner-up is no consolation. If you aint first yer last. A pitiful regular season can be forgiven by a tournament championship, but not by anything else.
I'd also be willing to forgive a loss in the championship game if we were the regular season champs. I could chalk that up to chance and enjoy our NIT bid.
So I'll go on the record now and say if anything less than a championship and I will remain a naysayer.

Exactly. End of story. Period.

Anything less than a championship means nothing. Basically all getting to the finals would do is ensure we’re above .500. So what? In a year that’s supposed to be the biggie, and SEC TRANSFERS, and all that, all we’ve accomplished is coming up way short. Unacceptably short. Unless we win the tourney. Then you’ve pulled an Al Brown and pulled one out of the fire. (Followed by a disastrous season and losing your job).
