You're in North Carolina, why not enjoy some real basketball?
Yeah, not sure why I keep punishing myself watching these games. I did switch off to watch end of Duke & UVA today and always get to one or two Davidson games in person. They are always a well-coached team.

I didn’t go to this game, thankfully. Not for nothing, but this is the team’s second straight no show here. You guys know I’ve been a fan and poster, but when my favorite team comes to a building 15 minutes away once a year and I no show for the first time?
Feel for these kids. They have been playing hard and have been competitive in most games. Today, they looked like they were ready to surrender.
Ponds, in particular, looks like he needs a pep talk. Looks weary from having to carry the load and all the attention he is getting from opposing defenses,

I don't feel bad for Mullin... He's getting ~$2M for this and is responsible for the lack of players, qualified coaches,cohesive system etc.... aka the finished product on the floor. Maybe he should consider donating some of that salary back.
I don't exactly know what a bruised thigh is, and why Ponds has had it so long, but he's running around enough to think that it can't be too bad. Bruised thighs does cause missed free throws, jacked up 3's and unmakeable layups under the basket.
Team was lost from tip-off. That has nothing to do with tired bodies.
That's unfair. Mullin's 'first' recruiting class was last minute desperation, lost Sampson the 1 Lavin commit, failed on Diallo who slipped to KS, and headcases Obekpa and Jordan defected--a mess, and not Chris' fault. Our lack of depth is partly on Chris' dime--but not totally, since we had to rely on the transfer option to rebuild the team. The only 'loss' in the roster from last year that I deem may have been preventable, and regrettable is Sima's.
LoVett's decision to quit on the team not the Staff's fault.
And I strongly disagree about next year's recruiting class. First, we don't need 'game changers' as much as we need kids that can contribute and provide Big East quality depth.
Dixon will likely start next year; far savvier posters than me believe the kid is BE caliber. Keita should provide depth from the get-go. Brooks has presence underneath and should help greatly. Williams is athletic and will help. Trimble will likely improve. Roberts is a work-in-progress with great potential, and if Diakite is healthy, he will contribute in time.
As is, we may go 8 - 9 deep next year, and get better as the year progresses.
Barring defections, we should be very competitive next year in the Conference.
IF Mullin fails with that roster, then repost your comments.
We are St. John's.
Bottom line is the staff allowed us to play this season with a very thin squad. Anyone could predict that an injury would likely ruin the season. Lovett got hurt and apparently decided he had enough and is gone. So where is the outside shooting? Gone. Next year Ponds may leave if he hasn't already. He gets double and tripled teamed, of course he is frustrated. This season is over and it is an embarrassment .
