Game 6: Manhattan College, Saturday, Nov 29th, 4 PM, NO TV

[gmutom]

Each win -- rare as they may be -- will be a serious case of mixed emotions for me this season.

I enjoy the wins for the players. You can see how much it means to them. Plus, Edwards is smart enough to realize Hewitt pulled a 10-foot rabbit out of his a** tonight. I seriously doubt anything he did cemented his future one way or the other.

That was the joke.

But in reality, I gave her two good minutes ... (two year old and an eight month old)

Those are two good minutes that will last a lifetime.

Enjoy having little kids because they turn into teenagers before you know it.

And they're girls. I have accepted the fact that I'm f*cked.

We suck. Won on a prayer to a 1 - 3 MAAC team. The depth of ignorance at the Patriot Center astounds me. Perhaps we get what the average fan deserves.

I don't think anybody would say we're bound for the Sweet 16 this year or don't have plenty of problems, but I don't care if we're playing FPYC, winning a game on a 75 footer is pretty cool any way you cut it.

I get what you're saying, but the average fan isn't as invested in this program as people who post here. They don't care that Hewitt sucks donkey balls. They certainly don't care if he gets fired.

They're just happy that they saw an exciting finish and we pulled out a W in a game we should've lost.

 

[Washingtonian]

F-ck me! I sit through that crap for 39 minutes and miss the one good minute.

Tom, NEVER leave a game early, regardless of the sport!

Funny thing is, I turned to my seat neighbor and said, think we get a repeat of Sherrod Wright against vcu.

 

[Vurbel]

I would say this is the greatest play since the Sherrod/vcu shot 3 years ago. But then again, it's not like we have many to choose from.

Glad the win came for the kids...they needed SOMETHING positive.

Disappointed that Rohland didn't say/scream "Do You believe in miracles?" after the shot.

 

[PDGL Hoops]

A win is a win....nice job Patriots.

Shame on you Tom, that was awesome! Will easily be the highlight of the season. Still no Hewitt at Brion's afterwards though...

That is the biggest difference between Larranaga and Hewitt. Larranaga would go to Brion's after a game, and go around the tables and shakes hands with everyone. Hewitt has zero personality skills.

hahah, i had the exact same reaction Bill Rohland/Lamar Butler had .... "AAAAOOOOOOHHHHH!!!" yelling at the top of my lungs at a screen though, lol

Umm.. Hewitt did go to Brions after the last second shot by Sherrod against vcu a few years ago. I happend to be there after the game and he walked into a cheering bar. I'm guessing right now isn't such a hot moment to walk in, considering how many fans are up his butt about all the losing, even in the midst of a great last second shot.

Is that the only time in what is now his 4th season?

Good point. I don't blame him for staying away -- if I knew a bunch of people thought I sucked at my job and wanted me fired, I don't think I'd go out of my way to interact with them either.

Personally, I don't need our coach to be the glad-handing type as long as he's winning and running the program in a first-class manner.

Would it be nice? Sure. But just a bonus, IMHO.
