Fordham Game

When Obekpa got ejected, we were 3 pts. up, a perfect spot for an upset, but using 5 guards they just roasted Fordham, The game was very entertaining to watch. I think Lavin coached brilliantly. The next game is going to be a real test. Team is coming together and it is great to see.
 
Great response by this team after the Obepka ejection!! Great to see Rysheed hitting his outside shots with more consistency than he had been and very good game by him all around with the exception of one or two forced passes. Dom, what can you say, Highlight reel dunks, solid defense and rebounding. He's be a next level player if he could only develop a consistent jumper. D-Lo was his usual workhorse self, great game by him. Greene was ok today but we didn't need him to be anything but technically sound today on both ends. Christian Jones actually pulled down a couple of rebounds in traffic today which was a good sign.

The only negative was the lack of maturity by CO with the technicals. Thank God he will not miss the St. Mary's game. Also, Dom's second foul where he grabbed the Fordham guys leg was poor judgment. He had to sit the rest of the half. Against a better team that could of hurt us. All in all a great effort considering everything. I just want to see more discipline from this team when it comes to controlling their emotions. Great game otherwise!!
 
With essentially the same roster....where was this team last year?

Minus Sanchez and Samson, there's a camaraderie and cohesiveness on this year's team that was lacking last year.

Gotta give Marillac some credit where it is due man.

Everything that he predicted is happening before our eyes, and it just so happens everyone killed him for that prediction. That post you said about sanczhes and Sampson he said a million times during preseason

So did I and lots of other people, only not repetitively. There have also been tons of outlandishly ridiculous predictions by Marillac, like the ones about Balamou and Jones being impact players this year. The fact is that in spite of my feelings about lavin, I said from the get go that if this team came together that they had a good chance of making the tourny. While its still early, and the tough part of the schedule is yet to come, they have played incredible ball so far and I would be surprised if they don't continue to play well and and make the tourny. Appreciate the Marillac suggestion, but think I'll give myself credit ;)

Agreed on CO and Dom fouls, and the control of emotions. Against a better team this simply cannot happen. In Big East play teams are going to take it right at CO in the hopes of getting him in foul trouble, He cannot help them by committing dumb fouls and/or getting T'd up.
 
Good job boys!
Cant wait to see the highlights as i only got to listen to it on tunein radio.
Go St. John's!!!
 
Good win. Team has grown up a lot. Being very patient on offense settling for open looks.

Very disappointing antics by CO. Seems like every game we're getting into some unnecessary scrum.

Don't know what CO is trying to prove by shoving players like he does. But I did think the first tech was on D'Angelo, not CO.

Wasn't that Otis who predicted that? :)
 
Some interesting observations regarding the Fordham game:http://www.bigeastboards.com

Do you write these? They are always the most negative articles after games. Bashing Branch for not scoring a lot and not getting rebounds. He is a PG... His job is to distribute and run this offense, which is something I believe he does well. And bashing people on message boards because they believe he is a good player. Nobody here is a scout but saying Branch is a bad player isn't an opinion I respect.

This team could win by a score of 100-0 and you would still write something negative.
 
Pecora did me a solid this year, so I wish nothing but the best for him. He's a Queens Village guy, and it would be great for NYC bball if Fordham can develop into a formidable team during his tenure.

I get the feeling that this team is focused and hungry right now, and there will be no mental breakdowns or taking anything for granted. After last season, I think they know that if there's a letdown, they can be upset. Hoping we come out strong early, and don't let up.

That time has come and gone. He will be updating his resume shortly.

Any confirmation on if Chris did in fact get a T during that episode with Dee? Thats what Zach tweeted. Dumb and Dumber otherwise know as Carrino and the less famous son of John Thompson didn't even know what state they were in. I think the Great Alaska Shootout had better announcers.
 
I was impressed with the team today. What was even more impressive was Mike Maher showing in full SJU gear. He puts Lavin to shame.

I'm just impressed he finally showed up, even though he didn't wear a tie. Did Natalie wear a tie?
