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.

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

During 4 of his free throws this year, (so 25% of them) he came up limping immediately preceding the free throws.

If happened in the prov game, happened last night. I wouldn’t put too much stock into it

Down 2 BET championship, you want Dunlap at line?

St. John's won it for the Mink Man, John Minko who says broadcasting as the play by play man for the Johnnies is his dream come true. Class Personified.

Except when they play Butler . Mink is a very loyal Butler Alum .

I forgot, Wilcher is coming around as well.

Minko is really nice guy. He was at the St. John’s party down in Charleston He also got to witness greatness when he saw a young “ White Chocolate Maher “ dominate in a charity basketball ball game back in like 91 at Alumni Hall when WSJU played WFAN although we had 1 or 2 girls playing on our team and even White Chocolate couldn’t make that deficit up

When Pitino had the choice for the free throws on the technical a few games ago he chose Dunlap over a slew of guys that shoot 80%. That should tell us all we need to know.

He’ll be over 80% for his career. Of that, I am certain.

I’d never want a guy at the line in March thats shot 12 free throws all season

If he were like 25/50 from the line this year maybe I’d consider his free throw shooting a problem. It’s simply too early to tell.

What does Jenkins have to do with this?

 

[lawmanfan]

Kyle Kuric or Luke Hancock ?

LUKE HANCOCK! Thank you! That's been bothering me for like 2 weeks, kept thinking it was Luke something or other and then I was like nah, that can't be right. Yes, that guy. The future Brady Dunlap.

Foul shooting can be so mental and since Pitino put Dunlap in the lineup at the end of the Prov game even though he had a slightly sprained ankle and Prov was forced to foul and Dunlap missed both shots after being fouled he hasnt taken many foul shots but the few he has taken he doesn’t seem comfortable.
Pitino wouldn’t have put him on the floor if he didn’t have confidence in his foul shooting ability so Dunlap could use a game where he gets five or six foul shots and he probably will be fine. He has such a good shooting stroke it just seems he would be a capable foul shooter.

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

Only his misses are a huge sample size.

At this point in time if it was the BE quarterfinals and we were up 20, I still wouldn’t want him at the line until he can show he can make 70-80% of his free throws.

 

[SJUDave]

That was a defensive clinic as Rick Pitino's guys bounced back in a major way. While Joel Soriano found his groove again, nothing stood out more than the smothering defense that held Villanova to 50 points. It was an encouraging sign of the growth of this team and highly encouraging of the never ending potential. We discuss the next notch on Pitino's belt of player development, how vital Dingle is to this roster, Glenn Taylor's impact and so much more in St. John's big win at MSG

 

[mjmaherjr]

Since I'm told I never post. Let's go Redmen! Class of '93.

Haaaaaa nice job !!!

 

[monte]

Missed most of the posts in this thread because I was at the game, so not sure if this was mentioned: but I think that we led wire to wire in both our games against Nova this year. Pretty damn impressive if you ask me.

Took Johnnies at pick along with 49ers at pick in a 2 team parlay. Let's go Niners!

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?

They were bad

 

[vegasman2000]

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.

Four out of five isn't too bad
