Wear those ashes of the burned wreckage of the St Johns basketball program proudly tonight my friend. Then take a long shower after the georgetown game to forget how far we have fallen
They move Coach Tartamella over to coach the men’s team.

All kidding aside. I know Joe T has been around for awhile. He made 3 tournaments in his first 4 years. And hasn’t made the postseason since 2017-18. While we talk about stagnant programs. Great win last night and solid record this year but facts are facts
While not specific to CMA, Brando did screw up by saying they were on the Storrs campus of UCONN, only “a few miles away from Hartford.” I guess 25 miles to Brando is only “a few miles.”
For the uninitiated they pull the old late season folderoo basically on a yearly basis.
Our luck, Cooley will go to Gtown & Pitino back to Providence
I know nothing about Broadcasting but , I would think the Announcers are given a specific outline of Statistics to use during the Game . It’s apparent that CMA ‘s never had a losing season is always on their menu . Kind of like the talking heads on News Programs who all use the same words .
Yes, of course broadcasters meet with each team's media representative to get briefed on the upcoming game, as well as visit game day walkthroughs and shootaround to try and get some data. Those contacts push the narratives they want the audience to hear. There's no way for them to be fully versed in the dozens of teams they broadcast each night.
Shaheen and Sean Miller got into it a bit at the end of their game.
Donnie Marshall did a horrible job commenting on the end of game situation as SH J Sanders acted like a jerk in last 5 seconds.
What happened?
Holloway had words for Miller on the sidelines near midcourt with about 6 seconds left in game ostensibly because Xavier was still shooting 3s up 20 late in game. Xavier player had ball a few feet from where the coaches were exchanging words. He had been dibbling to kill last few seconds and when he saw coaches arguing he picked up his dribble and man guarding him did nothing. All of a sudden J Sanders comes steaking across the court and tries to rip ball out of Xavier players hands with a few seconds to go and both players wind up pushing each other (Sanders was a push in the back). Benches empty and a bit of a melee ensues. Dopey Donnie Marshall says Sanders was just going for the ball and sums up by saying it was a nothing incident. IMO Sanders acted like a jerk (was hitting his shots though-4-6 from the field for 11 points off the bench).

The Brando/Marshall combo is to announcing as Larry Scott is to media negotiations. (That’s for all you left coasters)

The SHU roster was left bare for Shaheen, he’s acquitted himself well i year one. Losing Richmond is extra tough on them because with out him they really don’t have a PG.
Wouldnt be surprised if they take down the NIT if he returns soon. Also, wouldn’t be surprised if they lose out if he doesn’t come back.
0-4 vs middle of pack Seton Hall and Villanova. Two rookie Big East coaches with a combined 27 losses. We blew double digit leads in 3 of the 4 games. Really should be sitting at 21-8 instead of 17-12.
