Looks like they have a quick guard which is usually trouble.

New rule starting this game is that Soriano has to touch the ball every single possession.

Start Alleyne and script first two plays…one for Soriano and the next from Soriano to Alleyne inside-out.

Amen bro, Alleyne is underused we need a multi-dimensional guard not a score-only guard like we have now
 
I thought this and the Hofstra games were stupid games for the OOC. We don't really gain a lot by winning but have a ton to lose. Dreading it and waiting for Big East play.

With basically a whole new team learning to play together, all games have meaning. Not directed at you, but trust the process.

From a team building exercise, I understand. Just speaking from a purely resume perspective.

Hopefully “process” includes holding Rams to 40% shooting and commitment to defensive level Rick is clamoring for.

I think the process will bring us more success besides being the 2nd fastest team in the country in terms of pace like last year.

With that said, let’s beat Fordham.
 
  • Short of it is that we need to be 5-1 (11-4) from here until we travel down to Nova on 1/6.
  • The only loss can be @UConn where the margin needs to be respectable.
  • Our NET can't afford anything else and it will only reset to the mid 50's range that we were at late last week if we get this done.
  • The Fordham game can't be close, we need to blow them out as well as Hofstra.
  • Xavier at home and @Butler are must wins as well.

There is no getting around this if we aspire to be an at large team. The run that we were supposed to be in the middle of would've allowed for a BE loss outside of UConn, that is no longer the case, Sunday ruined that for us.

I respect the Fordham program but the reality is, if the Rams are a handfull for St. John’s then something is really wrong with this program and we’ve been sold a bill of goods.

I hate to say this but any D1 team can beat another D1 team on any given night. It might be once out of 100 times, but a comment like this reeks of entitlement.

I’m really not trying to single you out, and Rick Pitino or no Rick Pitino, we haven’t won a tournament game in 20 years and haven’t made it past Thursday in the BET in years and we’re just expected to go out and have no problems against a decent program like Fordham. I mean, lol, where do you think Soriano came from?
