Ga. Tech game

[thetux1]

this combination seems to be working

Johnnie's starting to play hard

 

[SJUalum98]

Under 10 by halftime and unbelievably we may have a shot.

GT should be ashamed of themselves.

 

[Knight2]

Best thing is that we have them in foul trouble.

 

[Jack Williams]

Down 29-22

 

[paultzman]

Very fortunate GT is poor team & let us back in this mess.

 

[salty dog]

Harrison imposing his will

 

[salty dog]

5 point game. Funk may be over

 

[Knight2]

Score is really misleading. We are really outclassed!

 

[Jack Williams]

That hurts.


Georgia Tech 31
St Johns 24


Halftime

 

[Jack Williams]

Score is really misleading. We are really outclassed!

Not in the last four minutes

 

[SJUalum98]

Score is really misleading. We are really outclassed!

Last I checked, the goal was to win the game.

thank god d'lo came back to st. john's. i'm not a big fan of his but he is the only one that consistently gives it an effort and the only one that can score

Huge shock we start pressing and things start going our way. Everyone on this board has been saying this since April but coaching staff waits until it looks like we are going to get run out of gym and get swept in mediocre tournament to go to it. Better late than never but don't know how anyone, let alone the staff, could view anything but pressing as best suiting this team. We've been held under 10 points at the 8 minute timeout twice in a week!

Got that right. SJU would be the worst team in the Big East without him.

 

[usguard]

hope they find themselves during half time and pull this much needed win out

 

[Mean Gene]

I can see this game ending the same way last night's game did.

 

[guinness77]

The fact we're down only 7 is a blessing.

Again, I don't undertsand how this team can come out as mentally and physically unprepared than ours. It's mindboggling frankly, and anyone who just thinks this is magically gonna go away in a week, a month, 2 months, and so on is dreaming.
This whole team, coaching staff included, needs to take a nice, long look at this problem, and find the answer to it. Whether it be when they practice, how they practice, what they do pre-game, etc, etc,,,I'm obviously not there so I can't really lend any answers to this gigantic problem except asking about practice and pre-game stuff...Frustrating.

Lavin is just going to have to come to grips with letting Dom foul out each and every game. Because Dom gives us zero on offense.

Just let him pressure the ball carrier for 94 feet and guard the opposing PG. He is an absolute liabilty on offense so might as well just play him to his strengths and let him get 2-3 steals a game and fouling out in the process.

He's just wasting time out there.

Hire Zach;

@NYPost_Brazille: Picking up full court really got St. John's going. With so many athletic players on roster, Lavin may think about using strategy more.#sjubb
