@Butler, Tue., Feb. 7, 8:30p, FS-1

Same shit, different game.
Pathetic combinations of players on the floor.
Once again we see Curbelo, Posh and Wusu on the floor at the same time. These guys do not value the ball as witnessed by street ball passes.
Soriano once again a non factor offensively in the second half with two free throws and an easy dunk.....that's it.
He couldn't handle Manny Bates who, in the last 4 games combined, scored a total of 17 points because he sucks. Tonight he scored 15. Bates repeatedly forced Soriano to play over 15 feet from the basket.
Anderson timeouts invariably lead to a broken play.
I would be surprised if the team wins another game and if they do it would be against Georgetown who we would likely play in the Big East play in game.....and likely lose.
Whether Anderson stays and or leaves we will keep paying him millions.
Stop with the money excuses people!!!
St. John's will admit just 70 more students each year that don't belong in college to pay for his buyout per year. (70*40,000=$2,800,000).
Get Pitino and bring in some grad transfers the first year and keep only the best of players that want to play.
Goodbye Curbelo, Nyiwe, Pinzon, King, and Traore.
With each game the fat lady is singing an encore.
 
Hard to fathom this loss. Another double digit lead squandered, ad this one against a very average (being kind) team. To me the Posh behind the back pass epitomized the season and this team. Just dumb execution, poor decision making, lack of discipline and reckless play. That is mostly on the coach to allow this at this juncture, but some of the players are also top blame. Posh should know better. If Curbelo or Anderson is back next year, then it is gross negligence on part of the administration. I am not optimistic for the future as I do not see any savior, and I think that the basketball paradigm has passed the school by. It has been nearly 30 years since we've had consistent winning and the last 2 decades have been mostly bad (not even middling).

POSTGAME QUOTES: St. John’s vs. Butler

POSTGAME QUOTES: St. John’s vs. Butler St. John’s Head Coach Mike Anderson spoke with the media following a 68-66 loss to Butler on Tuesday
redstormsports.com redstormsports.com


Opening Statement…
“We always talk about being in a position to finish off games, and tonight, we didn’t finish. We were up, 66-61, and we knew they [Butler] weren’t going to go away. They fought and made some plays. I thought one of the bigger plays was when Joel [Soriano] had his shot blocked, and we looked up and [Manny] Bates was getting an and-one at the other end. That was a big play for them. We had some opportunities. I thought it was a very physical game. We attacked the basket, and we thought we would be rewarded. We only shot six free throws.”

On the offensive game plan…
“We were trying to feed Joel [Soriano], and they were doubling up on him. The spacing was there where we could get into the paint. We didn’t finish all of them, but it was a physical game. We shot six free throws.”

On the final play…
“It didn’t count. We did what we wanted to do, and it didn’t count.”

Andre Curbelo averages the third most shots per game (9.7) for our team.

AJ Storr averages the seventh most shots per game (6.3) for our team.

If I was the coach, I feel like I wouldn't like that. That's just me.

That star is skewed bc Storr didn’t get a lot of PT early on the season. I know everyone is in love with Storr but he didn’t play well last night
