(BET) Butler, Wed., Mar. 8, 3p, FS-1

[Fizzy]

“St. John’s has got to play better…” Quite the understatement by Raferty right there.

Don't think they are capable of playing better...

 

[Larry Wright]

CMA with a job saving win! Please lord no!

Still screwing around with PT and rotation

 

[Mean Gene]

Brando is a fan of our chances against MQ; Raff, not so much. You never know....

Raff is100% correct!! Have to play much better and value the each possession to have a chance against Marquette.

Butler was an undermanned, lesser team. The only thing that kept this game remotely close was poor coaching. We should have won this game by 20+. I don’t want to be negative after a WIN but…how can anyone feel good watching this. I feel like their are some talented kids who are not being coached up.

Nice interview by Posh. Such a great kid!

 

[MainMan]

. I don’t want to be negative after a WIN but…

Well I was rooting for a loss - an embarrassing historic romp - so this charade can end and we can rip the band-aid off without hesitation.

If that makes me a bad fan, so be it.

A 10 for the win, but a 5 for Artistic Performance. Still too much crap play for me.

Posh did great. But that BE crew is missing Lavs bad IMO. He was great in that type of role.

"well he won a game held off an excellent team that made a push. So we decided to give coach Anderson a life time contract". My fear is he pulls off a Ewing and wins the damn thing and doesn't get canned. It saved Patrick last year just saying

That “fear” dies hard tomorrow.

Well, honestly I can’t or won’t. Nothing that happens will or should impact what happens next.

Unfortunately, tomorrow will probably be a tough day. But I will be cheering for a win. So be it.

If he pulls a Ewing and wins the Big East tournament championship and wins two games in the NCAA tournament THEN I would be fine with Mike Anderson staying longer. I doubt any fans would disagree.
Besides, it's how well we do in the transfer market that really will determine what next year brings.

No--SJU fires coaches who make NCAA (see last 2 coaches)

 

[nysj144]

That should do it!

Always rooting for a win!
Go get ‘‘em Tomorrow

 

[redfazed]

A win is a win at this stage in the game. Happy for the players, good for them!

 

[SJU61982]

Biggest positive was +25 rebounding margin.

Good point lol

 

[njfan]

I hate his huddles none of the players seem to be listening tuning him out.

 

[mm52]

I love seeing him in time outs all players zoned out nobody paying attention to a te that is winning . Came to watch game late where is Curbelo?

Um, Shaheen Holloway's instructions doing a time out in today's game are no less general than CMA. I think a player can listen and not necessarily look at a coach unless a play is being drawn up. Some of these criticisms are just silly imho
