Force X into a half court game and we win this. Our shots will start to fall.

 

[Silly Donovan]

Being down only 4 is almost a miracle the way this team played.

 

[dk423]

Jenkins has been terrific. Dingle looked sharp as well. His defense has improved a lot.

Being down four is a minor miracle. Soriano should be dominating. Half of it is because the team can’t pass him the damn ball, but I want to see a fire inside grabbing rebounds.

 

[mattc]

Lucky to be down 4. Please no Dunlap or Conway in the second half. They both contribute nothing.

 

[Marillac2]

Alleyne can barely walk and he’s 3x better than anyone else on defense.

 

[sju2000alum]

Good end to the half to cut it to 4 we played awful tons of foul trouble bad transition D and we are only down 4! I expect much more effort in second half and we are going to win this game! Kudos to Jenkins keeping us in this game!

 

[redmaninalbany]

To get out down only 4 seems like a minor miracle.

absolutely amazing how badly we played

 

[Larry Wright]

In keeping with ST John’s coaching tradition, every coach but Louie and Jarvis sub patterns are bizarre. Louie and Jarvis just mostly played 7.
Dingle, Soriano and Jenkins need to play 30. If Luis playing well put him up there too, if not he sits.

I’m always surprised by how surprised people are by poor play in college basketball games.

 

[dk423]

Never would think I’d see the day Marillac would say Jenkins had a great half with 10 shot attempts. But he’s absolutely right

 

[vegasman2000]

Alleyne can barely walk and he’s 3x better than anyone else on defense.

It's funny you say that, I was watching him and how he moves his feet and was thinking "how do you teach that?" Very fast

 

[rehobie]

Looks like we are in for a night of one on one hero ball.

Well, who else is getting to the basket.

 

[Silly Donovan]

WTF is with Glen Taylor. Cone in now he first even look to score. Starting Wilcher and Taylor is like going 5 against 3 offensively.

 

[Larry Wright]

I’m always surprised by how surprised people are by poor play in college basketball games.

We have like 9 super seniors

 

[paultzman]

Yes, foul trouble for Luis, but for guy projected to be a main offensive force, he is bring nothing. Hope he figures it out. It feels like structure is hard for him to fit in with

 

[MugCostanza]

Xavier is playing hungry and with some confidence but they are limited talent wise. Don’t think blowing them out is in the cards but the game is there for the taking.

Tighten up the rotation, get back on D and make the winning plays in what’s likely to be a tight game down the stretch

 

[espken]

Fortunate to be down 4 at half.
Jenkins keeping us in it.
The and-1 foul on Taylor was BS. Claude got away with warding him off.

 

[Marillac2]

It's funny you say that, I was watching him and how he moves his feet and was thinking "how do you teach that?" Very fast

His ability to recover is insane. He can barely walk and he’s beating quicker players to spots. Kid has great hips.

 

[Silly Donovan]

They had 17 fast break points…… so much for the improved defense.

I’m sure Pitino managing dingles minutes as he’s been sick. Can’t over play him if you want him second half more.
