Considering the search process I was very happy with the hire. The idea that he couldn’t outdo what Mullin accomplished seemed unfathomable. Live and learn.

Bloody embarrassing game, certainly one of the displays I've ever seen by a St. John's team. As for Storrs, gotta think he's a goner, especially with the likelihood of Soriano not returning.

Some thoughts after giving up 102 points:
*Our two Borinquen players, Curbelo and Pinzon, decided not to defend anyone last night and they shot 25%.
*The young King was out of his league. Even Soriano looked out if sorts.
*Something was amiss. You could see it in the first 10 minutes.
*It's as if they had no idea how to play Creighton and how to defend them.
*The lineups are starting to become disjointed efforts by CMA to get the right combination of players willing to play TOGETHER. The players, on the other hand, seem to have their own ideas of what THEY want to do once the ball is in their hands.
*Curbelo is becoming a one man team. Jones is totally unpredictable.
*The team is slowly unraveling before CMA's eyes and he seems totally frustrated with his players.
*COHESIVENESS is not a trademark of this team.
*Ponds out of the game leads to total ME ball.
The above can only mean one thing; we will go undefeated the rest of the season.

From bad to worse seems to be the theme of the St. John's basketball season. No defense played, openly mocked by the media before and during a 104-76 loss to Creighton. It's time for some serious self-reflection in Queens.

I did not watch a lot of Curbelo and Jones the past 2 seasons. I watched the games against Depaul, but don't remember Jones making a big impression. Both have talent but have shown major flaws in their ability to play a team oriented game. Curbelo's drives going left ending with a spinning, out of control airball reminds me of the underhand shovel shot L.J. started to utilize way too much.
Point is that unless both Curbelo and Jones suddenly became me first players, CMA should have seen this coming. Either he didn't, which is a problem, or just decided to take what he could get in the transfer portal. A coach has to find the right mix of players, and instill a team first concept in every player. You just don't see selfish play at the well coached programs very often.

I googled Mike Anderson's contract...he was given a 6 year extension following the 20-21 season. Contract runs through the 2026-27 season. Shanley and Cragg both signed off after St Johns finished with a 10-9 BE record, 4th in conference.
Going into October 2023...23-24, 24-25, 25-26, 26-27. Four more seasons under contract AFTER this season.

Now I know what CMA means about 40 minutes of hell. It's 40 minutes of hell for st johns fans
I think it all depends on who the coach is next season

Which is exactly why Cragg needs to go if the school is stuck with Anderson. Clearly Mr. Cragg is not competent for the position.
True, but unfortunatelyI can't see this administration pulling the plug on CMA before next season.
Same here. I started dvr about twenty minutes after game started
I know I didn’t make 10 minute mark of the second half.
There is nothing more depressing than posts like this. Hey is Rich Kotite still alive maybe we can get him.
The only detail that matters is the buyout, and I’ve yet to see/hear what that actually is. I highly doubt it’s a fully guaranteed contract

The buyout at St. John's is around $2.5 million for Mike Anderson and plus the contract that Tulsa would give him was not in the budget for the university, but Norlander reported that the interest was not mutual

I hope this is true...$2.5 million should be palatable for a Big East university.
1. Father Shanley...reach out to Mike Repole.
2. Let Mike say whatever he needs to say, let him vent.
3. Let him know his university needs his help.
4. Give him whatever he wants.
5. Let's Go.

That appears to be a reference to what CMA would have owed the university if he left for Tulsa in the middle of his contract. That is not necessarily the same amount the university would owe CMA if they terminated his contract before it was over.

Sorry about that...however if that were the number...very workable.
