Only caught his second half minutes but really impressed by Glover’s defense. He’ll get more burn if he plays like that. I also thought Ayo gave us respectable minutes.

Prey was put in a really tough spot coming in for only those four minutes. I hope he gets more time.

With 2 of next 3 BE games on road, this win could prove helpful to this group w confidence heading into Xavier and Nova. PC will knock off a good team at home, but not us

Glad we won but thought Pitino did little to help at the end. Why not a time out to set something up. Lucky rebound and follow by Zuby off a poor shot.

On an off night we came out with a win. I'll trust in the guy who has almost 2,000 wins and 2 championships.

 

[SLYFOXX1968]

But we took 21 more shots. We killed them on the offensive boards. 18 to 7

Win is a win but , we almost blew 5 point lead in last few minutes , which isn’t going to cut it against UCONN or Marquette or Xavier .
Yes , it was great Zuby hit the last 2nd shot but , if he didn’t and we lost in OT , he would be pilloried for 5-12 from the line . Luis 6 -11 not much better .

There is something seriously wrong with our Million dollar player not doing anything in crunch time . Candidly he’s been less than advertised .
Nevertheless , a great comeback but ……

Second half team, crisis averted

 

[Silly Donovan]

Just trying to give you some advice

Enjoying a win like that is what sports is all about! Try to smile

I don’t need advice from you. I just watched a horrific performance and while the win was nice, I look at the whole picture and I feel there were more issues then missed foul shots. The constant changing line ups is one of many issues.

I also believe that going to Luis was the right move. He took it to the hole while others were missing wild three pointers. While he screwed up at the line, he kept the team in the game at the end. Clearly there are many who don’t understand the game.

39.7% shooting

16.7% on threes

42.3% FTs

And we win, wow

Good teams win those games. And for once we are good!

 

[Andrew]

A win is a win. Was Khadary cramping at the end?

 

[Eric]

Yes we shot like shit from 3 and the foul line. But found ways to win doing the other stuff

Why not look at 12 steals. 5 turnovers. 20 points off turnovers. 14 offensive rebounds. 23 second chance points. These are all great stats and ways to win games.

 

[MJDinkins]

Silly are you an SJU fan or a troll? I don't think I've seen a positive post from you all season.

If we had lost, he'd rapid-fire post with his doom and gloom. We barely won (on the road), so he's still posting doom and gloom. Just not rapidly.

Exactly
How rare are wins like this for St. John’s

I think it is pretty clear as to him and a few others. Where the "ignore" button comes in handy.

The defensive adjustments helped with the comeback…we finally started taking Joseph’s left away…it was obvious that he can’t go right and get a decent shot up. Even Prey overplayed him on one possession late in the game.

And, we took away Mela’s right.

 

[paultzman]

Aaron Scott had 3 steals & a few rebounds, but his scoring drought continues. Have to get him going to regain confidence. Maybe team should give him one game Delaware suspension ala Smith

 

[sjc88]

As we thought, tough to win on the ROAD so I’ll take it. We do have a pattern of slow starts. Need to figure that out a little bit. A win is a win. On to the next one.

I trust in the old Pitino, the new Pitino has yet to have that level of success. Will it happen, one can only hope.

 

[Andrew]

I was so locked in that I didn't post all game. I am thrilled that we won. Now I can enjoy my weekend. For those who wanted to go 14-6 now it's 12-6.

 

[Shannon]

A win is a win. Was Khadary cramping at the end?

noticed him grimacing beginning of 2nd half.

 

[dk423]

One other crazy stat. Zuby and RJ combined for 23 of the teams 26 free throws. Prey 0-2 and Smith 0-1.

Yeah…something’s going on…he looks like he has lost confidence
