Around the Big East

Both Posh & Wusu looked much more well conditioned. Heard announcer say Wusu was as high as 245 lb at SJU...lost 30 lbs. Credit to them for putting in the work there.

Did see Posh was 0-3 from deep.

Neither Hall or Butler looked sharp. Long Season.

Wusu 10 pts.
Jaquan Sanders 2

We seem to really have missed the boat on Sanders.

Old friend Posh scored on older friend John McGriff for a quick turnaround jumper.

Noticed Posh wearing #5 while Wusu wore #0. Not sure if they had planned on wearing each others SJU uniform number. Pretty cool nonetheless.

I for one still think this roster could’ve used Posh Alexander.

Hard to argue that we are better off without him!

He would have never agreed to begin a backup point guard to Jenkins.

He would have never agreed to begin a backup point guard to Jenkins.

The reality is that RP wanted Jenkins to be his PG before the ink was dry on his contract . Jenkins has everything that Pitino wants in his PG plus familiarity with his system .

The chemistry just wasn’t there for either Rick or Josh and it’s just one of those things .

Posh is a good player , leaves everything out on the Court and contributed a lot to the CMA years .

Butler seems a good fit for him and Matta is a good Coach but , Butler is going to struggle this year . They don’t have the talent they did a few years ago . They are always dangerous at Hinkle though .

The reasons he isnt here all make sense. I still just selfishly wish he was here lol

Same. Totally get why he’s not and maybe for the best but still really liked the guy. His outside shooting and unnecessary turnovers were frustrating at times but the second he sneaks up behind Jenkins for a strip and layup or against all odds puts back an offensive rebound over Soriano we’re going to remember how nice that was to have for our side. Again grateful to have Pitino and his squad here for sure but just appreciating Posh for what he was. He’s going to be an absolute pest to play.

I will always root hard for posh he is a great kid and played his butt off for us! Even when we play butler hope he gets a huge ovation and has a good game as long as we destroy them.

 

[espken]

Anyone recognize who was guarding him?
Yep, old friend John McGriff.

Depaul trailing 41-33 at the half.

What a bad team. They just look like guys who were thrown together to play. No cohesion at all.

Same. He's not here because of anything he did on the court. I think he would have excelled with Pitino.

 

[L J S A]

Posh was team first all the way . . . but when it was most important, he took himself (and girlfriend) over team. That's why he's not here.

Depaul is awful. About to lose a buy game to purdue fort wayne. I like stubblefield too. But the depaul program is in the toilet.

PFQ was Kenpom #301..

I'd trade DePaul for Dayton

Horrble loss for the BE.

Imagine waking up and all this Rick Pitino/SJU stuff was only a dream, while realizing you are really a rabid DePaul fan.
