I wouldn't give up on Dingle so fast. He has never been a top flight shooter but he will have games where he is hot. He just had a horrendous game yesterday where we could have used a few of his shots to fall. I can't speak to his defense and maybe Alleyne would be better at times but don't forget he shot 4-8 from three against Utah with 18 points and five assists so this narrative that he can't score at a high level isn't the problem.

Pitino announced at his opening press conference who he was keeping. The ‘audition’ offered to Posh was a sham and he knew it. Granted, there was a ‘ culture’ issue with last year’s team. Rick should have tried to change it rather than firing almost everybody. If Posh, Storr and Jones were still here, with Rick coaching them, we’d have a tournament team.
Apparently not loud enough or visible enough for one of our other posters .
Joedib says there was NO SJU Band at the game . Several others disagree and say the Band was there ?
So what’s the true verdict ? It’s not enough to have different views on the game but , when se can’t determine if the Band was there or not , what hope is there ?
The band is a drummer and a couple of horn players. Most wedding bands have a larger contingent. I could understand how someone could miss them.
All true and maybe Rick takes a look at the defense, decides it isn't salvageable this season and goes all in on just trying to score 90 every game. If that's what he does, they'll need a bunch of points from dingle. Another way to keep dingle on the floor might be to go with a 3 guard lineup and put dingle on the opposing team's 3. he'd give up size, but that may avoid the blow bys. IDK
I think it may be helpful for him to come off the bench. His defense will be less highlighted against the second unit, his offense will be more necessary when Jenkins and Soriano are taking a breather. And if he's playing well, he can finish the game.
At one point I was getting Bill Walton vibes from the guy. He SUX! How many times did he put down the other announcer guy....pathetic
He’d fit in here perfectly
Maybe they split the band up because there definitely was another band playing at our Men's game besides BC's and BC's band wasn't playing during the timeouts that our Cheerleaders and Dance Team were on the floor while the other band was.

Our band was there, albeit a truncated version. As someon else pointed out, the women played a home game yesterday so the band was split up apparently.

A closer look inside the numbers at some of the defensive issues:

What’s gone wrong for St. John’s? A closer look at Pitino's defense

If Colorado caught the wave of the Deion Sanders effect they would have lost. Neon Deion’s Buffaloes"Colorado must be a sleeper team . They destroyed Miami."
The Deon Saunders effect, they caught the wave
list 7 of their last 8 games to finish 4-8.
Doesn't most plays usually start and go through the guy playing the point?
Maybe nobody feels comfortable out there dribbling or creating because they can't. Taylor handles the ball a decent amount on offense and looks quite comfortable doing and he does do it. I believe you who wants more of Alleyne on the court said just don't let him dribble much (or words to that effect). Pitino also said out of this group that he didn't have many players besides Jenkins and Luis (Wilcher might have been included but he is not ready) who can create their own shots and for others.
Dunlap gave up the ball quickly on one occasion because that was the play and then he moved to another location. He gave it up another time quickly because he had an open 3. He should have given the ball up quickly the last time he touched it before he tried dripping down the lane and went met with defensive pressure on his right and left, picked up his dribble and looked around and made a bad pass for a layup.
Actually, if anyone's handle has looked better is Ledlum who doesn't seem to be getting stripped as much when he drives to take it to the hole (if only he consistently finished better).
The Band issue is becoming a important discussion here . But , splitting it up , between Men’s and Women’s games needs further attention .
So ,in a few words , it didn’t end as a Prime Season for Deon . Didn’t his son get hurt earlier in the season ?If Colorado caught the wave of the Deion Sanders effect they would have lost. Neon Deion’s Buffaloes
I guess you didn't see the wink (If Colorado caught the wave of the Deion Sanders effect they would have lost. Neon Deion’s Buffaloes
) emoji. Besides, it still early, plenty of time for the Buffaloes to go on a losing streak.
Saw the wink emoji but didn’t interpret it the way you meant itI guess you didn't see the wink (
I think you might be thinking of their star two-way player, Travis Hunter, who was injured on a cheap shot after the whistle by a Colorado State player. He did return after missing several games and actually went bowling a few weeks after the incident with the guy that injured him. Hunter is a pro prospect as a Receiver and Corner. Saunders sons stayed relatively healthy through the season.
