Oh my! The new Obekpa and the offensive game he was not allowed by his fellow redmen all last year while I was screaming to give him touches continues to improve but at what cost? In the Creigthon game Obekpa with zero Oblockpas?
Great effort by all the kids that are now finally starting to play as a team rather than watching D'LO hoist bombs that usually missed their targets. Congrats to Lavin for sitting him during periods that he tried to become the one man offense last night to cool his jets.
Also, kudos to Lav for continuing to bring El Primo off the bench while translating the on-going plays as he watches and learns. He may yet understand that St. John's needs him to rebound and play closer than 30 feet from the basket for him to be an effective contributor to his team. Stay tuned for his interview on radio Dominicana.
As for Creighton and their fans, we at SJ will take pleasure in kicking your ass for years to come but they got 1,000 fans to the game and some Johnnie fans were too scared by the 2 inch snow prediction to venture on the subway! What a bunch of pussies! Then again, maybe they chose to go stand in line at the Ed Sullivan theatre for the Beatles 50th anniversary happening. BTW, those Creighton fans never have entertainment options like that within walking distance in Omaha. It's the Blue Jays or blue balls sitting home with the wife. Take note Syracuse fans when playing the great ACC teams like Clemson, BC, VaTech, Miami, GaTech, etc. at the Dome after the Duke game. No record crowds for those games in the near future or next 20 years.
Next must win game is Seton Hall who will be hungry and desperate. Hammer them at the Rock and even Moose and Lawmanfan may become fans again!
