Thanks. I was thinking the same thing. Hate retro stuff, especially when it takes you back to the lean years.

We show up like this against Marquette we’re losing by 20+
Guys have bad games Silly. What annoyed me the most about today’s game is the way we let up on defense and didn’t close this out the way we should have. There’s no excuse for the defense not being there. The shooting going in and out I can deal with. Guys not making some shots , throwing some ill advised passes, a bad foul here and there, it happens. The way they just stopped playing defense like the game was over and let Rahim kill us like that just can’t happen. We had a 16pt lead with 6 minutes left. Let’s just hope that this game was a lesson for them. To me besides winning, the best thing about today is that we shot 33.3% from 3 even with Wilcher’s struggles. Thats where we need to be.

It was pretty damn bad IMO. Most looks were open.

Electric at the Garden!
Most were open, but the last two were from way out there. One was almost near the center court logo.
Msg bball capacity 19,812...96.8% really good!!
To me the story today was, you can be a good team with stars like Richmond, Zuby and RJ. But to be great you need your other key rotation guys to contribute as well
we were all happy to see smith back, but IMO he really really hurt us today. Him and Wilcher combine for 3-20 on the day. Scott had his worst day probably all year too.
What’s huge for us going forward is figuring how to get Wilcher and smith looks that are good looks for them. Smith should improve as he gets more comfortable being back out there. Wilcher we need to see if we can get him curling off some screens, preferably around the elbow. These threes are front rimming.
Happy with the win. Kadary is the man

Just thought of this wasn’t it kind of dumb of English to call timeout after Joseph hit the tying 3 we had no timeouts left and it gave us a chance to set up a play.
That’s the key Mike, will they learn from this. Because, regardless of our record and where we are, which I am extremely happy about, there have been too many games this year where this team just doesn’t show up for 40 minutes. We need them to play a full 40 minutes against Marquette, UConn and Creighton to close out this regular season.
Wilcher may have a pretty looking shot. The problem is they rarely go in.
It’s NY. Win and they will come applies.
Too many focus on 1 player. Good and bad was applicable to a number of players today. Kadary bailed out the ship when it mattered. Bottom line they will need to play light years better on Tuesday night. Marquette is a good basketball team.
Great teams execute in big moments. A 20 point win wouldn't prove as much as having 1 possession +3 to win a tie game, and running the shot clock all the way down with the guy you wanted with the ball in his hands.
Anyone want to stand by their bullshit expert commentary from December about this kid.
A milllion $$? Is that all? Lol
Let’s be honest , Smith was terrible today too .1-10 is just awful . I know he’s rusty but , hey if he’s not playing well , let him sit .
Scott was a zero again . Wilcher disappointing .
