Another waste of time with what should be an obvious review. Maddening.

 

[sjc88]

Nova coming out of the ‘free” review TO and Neptune can’t design a play to inbound the damn ball. D1 hoops at its finest.

 

[Mullins Revenge]

Nova. What a joke.

 

[espken]

Mullins Revenge saved by a Neptunian collapse

 

[dk423]

I have no doubt we’re the better team than UConn but shouldn’t underestimate them

 

[Jack Williams]

Neptune never put in their center to defend Reed, despite getting crushed by him. Really strange

 

[lawmanfan]

I hate both Nova & Yukon. Can they play triple overtime with the game decided by a ref’s call at the buzzer.

Don't disagree but probably better for us if Nova won. Oh well.

 

[Section3]

Nova. What a joke.

Dixon was terrible on both ends…they were better off playing Boakye on Reed

All these games will be wars. The way we play and St John’s is the target now. DePaul will play us tough.

Agree but we are beating them double digits Sunday and Hurley takes the bus home with his tail between his legs

I can see that. I actually think we have easier time with Uconn

 

[fordham96]

Killer loss for Nova, probably buries their at large hopes and might be one of the final nails in Neptune's career. Control that game for about 3/4 of it and then collapse.

Actually prefer UCONN win they would have been incredibly desperate come Sunday vs SJU after a loss.

 

[Mullins Revenge]

Karabust had 6 points. Hes played himself right out of the nba.

 

[RedStormNC]

What a swing

 

[sjc88]

Karabust had 6 points. Hes played himself right out of the nba.

His confidence is shot. He can’t hit open jumpers in an empty gym playing by himself.

 

[SJU85]

Watching UConn Villanova game did Raferty just say Danny go coach your kids and leave refs alone ?

Would love to have a referee say that to him.

 

[classof2010]

Let’s beat DePaul tmrw then euthanize these UConn clowns Sunday. Hate them and their fan base!

 

[carmineabbatiello]

They'll have a decent fan showing at Msg now.

 

[redmanwest]

Nova stopped going to Dixon in the second half. Too much Poplar (who went cold after a torrid stretch) and Longino... Anyway, let';;s beat DePaul and then focus on UCONN.

I think Neptune has made progress as a coach. All that team has is Dixon and Poplar. Longino is a useful role player. The rest of the roster is trash. He's done OK given his failure to recruit.

I suppose the other way to look at it is that guys like Perkins and Brickus can actually play and he has not coached schemes that make them useful, the sets are either Dixon or Poplar and that's it.

And I'm not sure whether U Conn's evisceration of Nova on the offensive end on 3-4 plays late in the game is a Neptune failure, Nova running out of gas, or Hurley forgetting about the refs for long enough to let his coaching ability go to work. Maybe a bit of all of the above.
