We play great D. We let Neal have a game the other 2 didn’t beat us!! Ashworth loves to complain. We are having an amazing season. With 6 minutes left I told my buddy the first team to 72 wins. The thing that pains all us is Free Throw shooting. Thats were I am critical, the way they play it will always lead to double bonus easy. If you can’t make em it’s a recipe eventually for disaster. We won that’s all that counts. We have a Rangers like crowd. It was awesome again today!

Luis and kadary were 14-17 from the line. We can hit them

Is there medical diagnosis or cure for not being able to log off Redfans after this win ? My wife wants to know if we will be watching the SNL 50th Anniversary special or not

Mothball Ayo. He brings nothing to the table. I still don't know why Lefty isn't playing.

That's your takeaway from the game? Ayo is experienced and gives coach what he needs stability, particularly on the defensive end.

Ayo has led us in +\- the last two games.

Great. Guess we should start him.

I'm on the fence. Thankfully it can be taped

That’s what everybody says but we are 7 points from undefeated. We are a bear in so many other ways that I won’t write these guys off. Nobody has been able to game us wven with our weaknesses.

Big big win but if Pitino is going to start Wilcher over Smith, he’ll have a hard time justifying his 1 point and poor defensive play today.

Think the team has a chance for a better start with Smith in the line up.

what impressed about Wilcher, despite playing poorly, with quick fouls, still kept his head in the game and made that aggressive drive and dish near the end and followed it strong defense on Ashworth. Says much about his character.

SJU postgame presser

Kadary seems to be at the presser a lot lately.

 

[redmanwest]

Another come back from 10 plus down win. How many is that so far this year?

That's not my only takeaway from the game. There are other takeaways like missed free throws. But if you think Ayo contributed at all to this game, I'd like to know what game you are watching.

We are 6-1 in games where we trailed by ten or more..that is nuts.

 

[redmanwest]

Close enough, and a key Vince layup in the first half to boot

And a nice block.

Not directed at anyone in particular, but it would be nice to come here after another exciting, hard fought win, in first place in the BE, and not see so many posts about how badly some of the guys played. IMO, savor the win and hold the criticism for 24 hours.

Fortunately the posts are overwhelmingly positive.

Most very positive, but preach away

This has turned into a season we will look back on and talk about for years to come. Sure are still more games to play and more goals to achieve. But we've all been waiting for a season like this, and hope everyone can enjoy the ride while we're in the middle of it.

 

[RyGuyRedStorm]

If we keep winning Pitino will say he envisions us playing 41 games at the Garden just like the Knicks.

I’ve been vocal in the past about wanting to play LESS games at the Garden. Growing up where Syracuse, Nova and UConn would have more fans then us at the games many times, that was a REALLY tough pill to swallow.

I can happily say that I was wrong. With the Garden like it was tonight, that is a HUGE recruiting advantage.

I want Ayo to come in whenever we lack defensive intensity. Especially when we have slow starts with poor defensive.
