Raf was a little rough on Fanta the other night

Go get Mike Gorman or Len Berman out of retirement (to pair with Raf).

Wilcher needs to play with complete focus on the game and not on the stands and the other team's bench.

Yes, not a good look when you talk trash after your free throw rolls in, then you proceed to almost throw up an airball on the next one.

Yeah, Sim should grow up and dispense w the banter.

... and the referees.

From the limited minutes Ive seen from Lefty, Ive seen a kid whos not overwhelmed out there. He seems comfortable and plays within the offense. He doesnt panic and the moment is not too big for him. And he csn shoot.

I think he will play well tomorrow and help this ball club.

He will then be a fixture in the rotation for the rest of the season.

In Mullins Revenge prediction/analysis meaning- " Lefty flew to Greece last night and relaxing on an island off Athens somewhere not to be seen again this season "

Anyone going to the 1870 if you see a guy in a St Johns tuxedo shirt and a goatee say hello.

Keens is the best steak and best restaurant on the planet, good taste mjmjr

I was just there a few weeks ago. Agreed, probably my favorite restaurant

 

[vegasman2000]

You're probably right. I guess "must wins" refers to our seeding in the tournament. The NCAA has never been good to us, so we have to do it ourselves.

It is a must win if we want a seed in Newark, probably

 

[vegasman2000]

400s are open. Usually a good sign

I bought tickets weeks ago, now on Vivid Seats the same section is triple what I paid

I'll be there unless it's too packed to get in when I get there.

 

[PARedman]

Used to go Keens when I was single and working in Manhattan in the 80s. Great steakhouse. My last time there was 1988 when I took my future wife there after shopping for her engagement ring in the diamond district.
Have to get back there soon.

You triggered a fond memory of shopping for an engagement ring in the diamond district with my first wife and Christmas shopping afterwards at Macy's Herald Square...long ago and far away.

Not on the ledge and not proclaiming anything.

What I am saying is that a team that wants to play deep into March defends the home court tomorrow. Period

In simplest terms, Glover has been a disappointment this season. A lot of us, me included, assumed he would modestly help this season. To his credit, my enemy LMF noted early his D was extremely lacking and recent eye tests shows deficient shooting as well.

Could he make a play or two in emergency relief? Of course, but best plan for him would imo be to break his tail in practice, pay attention to detail there and return next season. His off season commitment to work hard and follow the staff’s development plan also seems crucial.

Glover is where Sim was last year. It just seems like Pitino demands a lot from players and the freshmen struggle to absorb and deliver. Guys like Wilcher and Glover dominate on talent in HS, nobody coaches the fundamentals at all, and if you play for Pitino that means he breaks you down to almost nothing and starts over. The ones who are mentally tough enough (and getting paid enough) stick it out and profit from it. Remains to be seen if Glover is in that category.

But if he doesn't play defense, rebound, and make good decisions then his scoring ability alone will not be enough for him to play for Pitino.

If the portal is quiet as Trilly apparently projects then it will be interesting times for Rick since I think experienced players are a better fit for him in this day and age. Second option would be retention.

Aside from our undefeated record at home this season, SJU is a perfect 3-0 vs. Creighton at MSG. (3.5 -0 if you include 2020 BET Quarters which we led at halftime, before Covid postponement. Let’s keep both streaks going.

 

[bucketshardy]

anyone here sitting on the Bridge tomorrow? i will probably be pushing a stroller for a decent portion of it... say hi if you see me lol

I grew up with Steve. I see him every few years at a get together. We went to high schoo together and played sports together He is just a great guy!!

He's very weak with the ball and a streaky shooter. I'm thinking he'll never be starter material in the Pitino system and will look for more minutes in a lower program....unless there is a serious downgrade in NIL interest. We definitely need to recruit over him for better and bigger overall talent. Has the talent to be a rotation player in certain game situations but kids want to play and unless he shows dramatic improvement over the next 8+ games, his minutes will stay in the single digits.
