Just watched bits and pieces of the game as I have it on DVR. I get so aggravated watching a game that's over that I watch when they play well and fast forward when they go into a funk. Then I fast forward to the last few minutes. Box score shows Brady going 0 for 2 from the line. I know he has had limited attempts, but 42% from the line is strange for a guy that looks like a shooter. Hope it's not a mental thing. Didn't check college stats, but there was Bruce Bowen as a good 3 point shooter but under 60% from the foul line. Does anyone recall how bad the 2 misses were?

Totally a head thing.
In the heat of a game, you don't have a chance to over think things when you're putting up a shot.
But at the line, yikes. The demons come out.

Maybe, although he doesn't seem to possess that "a-hole" gene. Maybe he develops it as he improves lol

You realize you're talking about a kid who had "I hate Brady Dulap" t-shirts made up in high school because he was such an a-hole it was funny, right? Think his comp is someplace between JP Macura and whoever that white kid who was a 3-point shooter is that Pitino had at Louisville, I can't remember his name and it's been frustrating me. But Dunlap is potentially a ringer for that guy.

I dont like Eric Dixons game at all. To me he is a dirty player, all elbows and body pushing and shoving. No need for all of that. Glad we beat the creap out of them twice. Probably most skilled V player but rubs me wrong way!

I’d love Dixon if he played for us. Plays both tough and smart and gets the most out of his undersized body (for a big)

Kyle Kuric or Luke Hancock ?

Kyle Kuric or Luke Hancock ?

Kuric was a legitimate athlete and smaller. Hancock was similar to Brady in size and skill.

Jarvis was not the worst coach we have had!!

From a coaching standpoint Jarvis was far from the worst coach we have had. However from a stewardship of the program perspective he was by far the worst and his tenure set us back significantly and damaged us tremendously IMHO.

People like to get on Norm Roberts and I understand why from an Xs & Os and a Wins and Losses perspective. That said, he inherited a total mess from Jarvis and restored some dignity and integrity to the Program at the very least.

Hancock?

We are 4-0 when Jenkins takes 9 shots or less. 5-0 when he takes 10 shots or less with wins over Xavier, Villanova, and WV.

Let Jenkins take 9-10 shots. Do you really want to live and die with him when you have better options?

Since I think sports has become too stat heavy, I will summarize: SJU is 9-0 when Jenkins takes 10 shots or less.

 

[L J S A]

So I had to look this guy up.

I like that he has a million followers.

We need to invite Swift and Kelce to a game. One tweet expressing what a good time they had would be worth a million T-shirts sold to Swifties.

I was talking about Brady Dunlap. I don't know anything about this "Dulap" kid that you speak of

Think Lawmanfan is telling us that Brady Dunlap made up I Hate Brady Dulap shirts in high school so I’m guessing B Dulap was the class bully and our Brady hated him.

Did anyone think going into season that Zuby would shoot free throws 26% higher than Dunlap?

 

[Jack Williams]

Guys Brady’s taken 12 free throws this year not exactly a huge sample size lol

Missed 7 of them and looks really uncomfortable doing it.
Uncomfortable part is the more concerning issue

 

[Silly Donovan]

but it didn't happen. Most of the time the defense recovered 1v1 and walked up near basket.

You either didn’t watch the game or didn’t read what I wrote. I stated that Nova would go to the basket (which they did) and open up the three point shot (which they did). Bamba and Moore continually looked to penetrate, draw defenders and dish to Longino or Armstrong for the three. Our help defense stepped up and fortunately they missed most of their three points attempts.

Again if you read my post, I just stated what they would do I did not predict their success.

Usman is a huge name in MMA. He is one of the best welterweights in UFC history and had a great reign as champion.

My son trains at the gym of many of his rivals and goes to school with their kids.

I missed most of the first half last night so I'm watching the game again now. RJ plays out of control but he has good hands. Taylor is the Energizer Bunny. Zuby is going to be a monster next year. Ledlum is a fighter and goes after every rebound. Jenkins should just keep shooting and Joel is definitely back.
