We have positioned ourselves perfectly for the MVC Tourney. Wonder what seed we will get in the Big Dance?

More purple kool-aid please.

Go PANTHERS, baby!!!!!!!!

Re: The keys to Friday

People are funny. Once Lucas was hurt I counted us losing every game. That way I wouldn't be let down. Writing off the season is hilarious. You guys are acting like we haven't been in any of these games. We could've beaten Drake, GMU, Evansville, and Indiana State.

I'll continue figuring Friday is our last game, but I won't go in thinking it's impossible.

Way to overgeneralize "(us) guys".

I've been more into every game since L.O. went down, doing my part as a fan and celebrating the "small" victories a lot more -- such as small signs of progress from Rank/Pehl, or being proud of them for gutting it out to make a great game vs GMU when they were clearly overmatched without getting nearly as down or upset as I might have in the past.

But "(us) guys" aren't wrong for being realists, just as the kool aid drinkers aren't "wrong" for making a list of the 43 things that have to go perfectly for us to succeed this coming weekend in StL. But that doesn't mean "(us) guys" should stop pointing out how unlikely it is that a run through the MVCT would be. And, again, I'll repeat that it would be a far bigger miracle than what a loaded, healthy, Panther team did to KU last year. Again, completely apples and oranges.

Like I said, I don't see anybody saying that we ARE going to win the tourney this weekend. I don't understand why people think we're so doomed, especially on Friday. Jake will have the guys ready to go. So we lost a close game @ Creighton yesterday, a game where Creighton shot very well. And sure, it would be really tough to beat MSU or WSU, especially in back to back days if we would get there, but there are a lot of people counting us out for the game Friday, which is just foolish.

I didn't overgeneralize. It's funny to be so negative and say we have no chance of even winning one game in St. Louis.

I'm not sure why you're being so sensitive when I didn't even quote you. I'm not even sure I read your post before I posted that.

Re: The keys to Friday

How about some reality, they have won one game since O'Rear got hurt. It is over.

If you are going enjoy some beer, but to think they can win this thing is a joke.

The greatest thing about being a Panther fan is the unrelenting positivity coming from your fellow supporters.
