Ok so Saturday night. Thanks. I’m five hours ahead so when we get up Sunday morning I’ll read about it here lol.

Darling hitting FTs is a positive.

The whole team hitting free throws is a big positive!

I’m hoping this was just coach giving the fan base a crash course in managing expectations.

Was sloppy offensively but they’ll get it together

 

[vegasman2000]

The only thing I care about is that Hopkins is at full strength.

 

[sjc88]

Excellent preseason matchup

1st Half was…messy? Flipped script in the 2nd. Sure Pitino will use as motivation.

Didn’t see the game, but according to this Darling was on the court for 24 minutes and didn’t take a single shot??

0-1 FT in first half, 21-25 FT in second half. Sheesh. lol

The positives to me are that the defense is ahead of where I thought it'd be at this point. Maybe I was just personally underrating Hopkins defense coming into this season but he was very good on that end today and that's huge for us. Sanon, Sellers, and Jackson seemed to be learning how to use their athleticism on that end as well. We'll see how it looks vs Michigan before fully buying in.

Offense was obviously pretty meh but the ceiling for that to corrected is much higher and Zuby might not play that bad again all season. The PG concerns weren't eased at all today though

Just checked out stat sheet. Ayo led team with +15. No wonder Rick loves him. He also hit 2 of our 4 3s. Might argue he should get more minutes.

On to Michigan, a better game SJU guys will be better motivated for and learn from.

 

[MugCostanza]

Hopkins only guy in double figures. 6 guys between 6 and 9 points

 

[paultzman]

Net of historically poor FT shooter in my guy Mitchell, this team could be a solid foul shooting group.

Love this player! Deserves more minutes when offense needs risk taker.

 

[MainMan]

Well I guess this finally settles the debate.

Brian Mahoney lost to Towson. Rick Pitino beat Towson.

Therefore Rick Pitino is a better coach than Brian Mahoney.

 

[SJU61982]

We outscored them 33-8 from the under 16 timeout of the second half, to the under 4 timeout. That was the game right there.

 

[Marillac2]

Most significant part of this game is marillac has incredibly already identified the player he’s gonna pick on all year.

Dillon Mitchell I’d stay off the internet this year buddy

There might actually be a better chance he becomes my favorite player. I put defense, rebounding, and hustle above everything.

If he wreaks havoc on the glass, plays mostly inside, and cuts relentlessly we will be fine. If he’s going to be dribbling full speed 10x a game, we will have issues. Those are Lavin PF flashbacks.
