In the past this game would have been a layup! Now with all of the roster changes and a Fordham team beating a common opponent in North Texas I except to see a hard-fought close game! I agree on starting Alleyne over Dingle! He has been the one consistent outside shooter on the team, and we know he can play at the Big East Level!

I think it's way too soon to throw in the towel on Dingle. Alleyne is very limited on offense, and is not shooting it from 3 at a much higher % than Dingle. I see glimpses of Dingle's offensive skill sets. He just hasn't shown any consistency yet. He is even shooting it poorly from the free throw line, over 20% lower than the previous 2 seasons. He just doesn't seem to have fit in yet, but we need him to be the scorer he used to be. He may just need more time.

I would like to see what Alleyne could do if he got 15 shots a game like Dingle . Limited on offense ? Gee, he’s a SG who can defend at this level . True , his handle isn’t the best but ,I think he gives us as much as or more than Dingle . Start him .

He’s always played high end College BB . Va Tech and UCONN , both schools play more more competitively than Ivy League .

Dingle’s role might be better coming off the
Bench and then shoot until he misses 4 or 5 in a row . He could be a igniter off the Bench if he’s on .

Frankly, this shouldn't be close. At all. I think SJU will open as like a 12-13 point favorite and should win by more than that, comfortably.

Matchup predictor gives us an 89.9% chance of victory, which I believe is even higher than they had us vs. Sacred Heart.

Of course, they've already been wrong on four of our games this year (Michigan, Utah, West Virginia, and BC - the Dayton game was virtually even). To be fair, those games had much closer differences on the predictor.

Alleyne is shooting 36.4% from 3 this year and 37% for his career. We have to get this kid more good looks.

I liked almost every shot Dingle took against BC. It may sound silly but they barely missed. His confidence is way too low and he’s way too timid. His defense is awful though. He got beat backdoor so many times.

Either we use Dingle as an alpha scorer and let him create with Soriano or we have to sit him.
 
If we had a "red.fans meltdown meter" that rated how emotional the reaction is to a loss, I feel like a loss to Fordham at MSG would be a strong 9.1 out of 10 on the meltdown meter

And I cant promise I wont be contributing to that score 😮

At that point I think a lot of us would just start to care less to be honest. Back to back losses in games we were favored would signify the end of our reasonable chances to make the tournament.

Are you sure about the Utah predictor? We were anywhere from 4.5 to 6 point dogs and although I’ve seen dogs have a better than 50% matchup predictor on that I doubt we were against Utah neutral site as that much a dog.

It was close. Thinking about it again, maybe it was more like Dayton. Virtually even.

It was a 9.8 out of 10 Lavin's first year when we lost that game at Rose Hill....
 
Pathetic- get on your train and show out - the Brooklyn crowd sucked when it should’ve been a factor- do your part at a perfect Garden setting; the best tip time of the year oddly enough (keyboard Confederates aside).
