I hope this decision leaves a bad taste in their mouths and it leaves a chip on their shoulders.

any pharmacists on the board that can send a prescription in for me for the post game ? lol

Alcohol no longer does the trick?

 

[monte]

As for the refs, part of the game, you control what you can control, your own play. If SJU plays smart, the refs have no bearing on the game.

Agreed. There were a lot of reach and gamble fouls. Way too many. But I hate when, in a close game, poor calls or non calls decide the game in closing minutes. And those calls almost always go in favor of the home team. I think the refs subconsciously get influenced by the home crowd

For sure, that’s why you have to focus on not giving them the opportunity. As you said, this team gambles way too much.

Was that Berry 36 point game?
Was at that game as a kid
Jackson missed floater in the lane if memory serves.

Look all I am saying is if they called that against us I would have gone crazy so can’t do it the other way.
Wish they would have called it obviously.

It was a Saturday afternoon game on CBS during the '86-'87 season. Matt Brust was called for a foul with no-time remaining in regulation in a tied ballgame. The Johnnies lost by two.

I didn't even watch the game but it's working for me!

Absolutely…even Shamorie chiming on X

The loss is stinging more and more as the day goes on. Really would have been nice to be ranked. Would have put us in great position for March. But it’s so nice to be a real team again. Have to just enjoy having Pitino here and being in position to win these types of games. Far cry from years past.

 

[rehobie]

Same Old SJU loss, sorry but it is true, beat yourself looking for great plays instead of smart plays. And terrible play coming out of that last time out, you need to go for a quick hitter and crash the boards.

Worst play was Witcher’s give away pass.

Yes, and he had 4 turnovers.

We were up 9. We let them back in the game with a lot of careless play. Hopefully we grow from this one.

It seems Rick agrees with a couple of the posters on this board. Wondering if Danny CRYBABY Hurley is one of the guys

he referencing about. Like Ricks says a difference between working the refs and crying every play. Glad we got that straightened out

Know the quote has been posted already but the video makes it better. Refreshing to have a coach that cares this much especially after the last few we’ve had

I don't like moral victories either. I did not think we played particularly well today. Need to beat the Hall and then Marquette.

I don't either, but the fact that we didn't play well and still had a shot to pull out a game against a tough team in a hostile environment, should bode well for us moving forward.

That would be mor impressive than if we won today’s game for certain!

 

[MugCostanza]

Going into BE play, especially after BC loss, everybody would have signed up for 4-2 with close losses on road to Conn & Creighton. Just brutal how we had a chance to win both those games and came up empty in both.

Team clearly on right track but even with HOF coach, not absurd to think losing streaks are a possibility given how competitive the league is.

Let e’m play never meant the same to me. It was some dude named Keith Harris.
