Georgetown (MSG), Sat., Mar. 9, 12 Noon, FOX
- Thread starter Knight
- Start date
I disagree I think we are in regardless .
You must have missed my post today praising Luis, and all the resulting shit I got from everyone for being critical of him all season.
I like a lot here don’t “like“ Cooley. However, he’s a helluva Coach and he will turn G’Town around. That’s a good thing for the Conference. Also good for us from a rivalry standpoint. Especially after Yukon leaves again for football.

Don't wash the shirt
It will undo the good karma that the shirt has brought us
True and fair enough. Tough to judge everything on the first year. I also don’t think he’s Rick Pitino. I think we all agree we will see them again soon.
Cooley's a very good coach, but he ain't Rick. Few are or have ever been. Actually Few is one of the few who comes close. lol.
Kudos for admitting you were wrong. Luis puts all of us on roller coasters. LolA word on Luis, I was not in the “if he learns to play the right way” camp but I think I was wrong about that.
He has two things you just cannot teach, he ALWAYS plays hard and he absolutely has no conscience, which makes him completely fearless of the moment. He made 4 plays down the stretch that impressed the hell out of me, in no particular order.
First, the steal after missing the two foul shots, no hanging of the head, no pissed off head first dive into the guy but a keep sliding your feet, square up and flick the ball when the offensive player crosses over.
Then, the two assists down the stretch. On the alley oop to Soriano, the key was keeping his poise and waiting until Alleyne cleared the weak side help by cutting up to the foul line. You don’t wait, it’s TO city, either via a steal or a charge. On the pass to Ledlum out of the double team, he kept his head up, no panic, and delivered a strike for the easy dunk.
Finally, staying with the crazy scoop shot for the follow up lay in. Had to get the ball on the rim to avoid the shot clock violation but stayed with it and no show time crap, laid it in off the backboard completely under control.
I have not been a fan but give credit where and when it’s due, he stepped up BIG TIME with good basketball plays with the whole season on the line.
You're missing my point t. I was taking you and the other poster . You guys arguing like kids. We won the game we are 19-12 smile relax.
Rjnluis been hurt most of the year remember that but who cares are are 19-12 11 wins in the big east. Who ever thought we would say that 2 years ago. Before Rick our program was a perennial bottom dweller relegated to games at carnessexs. Today we had 14k at the garden
. Loosen up think big picture here
Have to give Pitino props, he puts Luis on Epps and shuts him down.
Luis, who routinely gets blown by.
That's why he's Rick Pitino and I am talking to you guys and not the other way around.

On way back to the game after some delicious Korean BBQ. Only things to add from me:
— Atmosphere was awesome. The crowd was dying to get into this game, but stupid plays + Georgetown shots kept us out of it. But I was impressed by the energy. It was a lot of fun (too much, I’d say). Hoya fans deserve credit for showing up too.
— Luis showed his potential today. He’s done this other games too, but you can argue he carried us the second half. I really hope he stays. I think one more full year under Rick can make him more under control and see his teammates more on offense.
— BEAST said it but Ledlum is unsung hero of game. Brilliant effort. One of these ivy guys have to be smart enough to sue the ncaa for that additional year of eligibility, sign me up asap for Ledlum.
One pessimistic note I’ll say. I’m afraid Marillac may be right, in that we (including me) have read too much into this streak. We are the same team as the beginning of the season. In this streak, we struggled the most versus Georgetown. Why? Because they’re the most athletic compared to Creighton, butler and DePaul. I’m nervous that this streak overshadowed our clear deficiencies, and we will be let down next week. Can you tell I’m a Mets fan yet?
Also thank you to Rick Pitino for making the Johnnies the best value ticket in town. Knicks games are obnoxiously expensive. Can’t wait to get season tickets next year.

He decided to focus on freshman rather than the portal. Has a strong class coming in next year, he will get it done.
I'm very very loose. In fact, I'm renowned for my looseness
I don't know if we lost Good Joel, or we just shifted the offense away from him. He is still rebounding and getting blocks. We are just good enough to no longer rely on him every possession
Just for the record, Im not admitting I was wrong
