Beating St. Rose By 9 and Josh Wright thoughts

We beat St. Rose by 9 points (recaps here and here). 9 Points. And yet I feel surprisingly good. We're not Michigan State. We're not Ohio State. We struggled with an inferior team, but we beat them. Which is more than I can say for the teams mentioned above.

Josh Wright

On another positive note, Josh Wright will be out again for tonight's exhibition against LeMoyne. Wright is the last remaining link of the underachieving teams of the past few years. The fantastic four of Nichols, Watkins, Roberts, and McCroskey that managed to win two NCAA tournament games in their careers (both in their freshman year). And we have Captain Turnover, who has won as many NCAA tournament games as our best point guard (Jonny Flynn). 0.


I don't think that this is a mere coincidence. PG play is so important, and Mr. (not so) Wright hasn't gotten the job done. So if this ankle injury can limit Josh until I don't know, April? Then we can ride Mr. Flynn all the way to San Antonio. Or, more realistically, he'll prevent us from joining the ranks of Ohio State and Michigan State by not costing us the game against LeMoyne.
