Can't even imagine the amount of game film Pitino is gonna have the team watch on Hall over the next few days.

People not trusting the process. Even at 14-12 we were light years ahead of previous seasons in terms of changing the culture.
We all have different perspectives, levels of frustration, but equal passion for the program. It is a fan blog and etiquette, lectures on reactions are lame imo.
I said all season long that we were in far better hands no matter how the season played out, but you're gonna tell me that even as recently as 3 weeks ago, you saw this team making this kind of turn around and dancing?
I did. But I’m overly optimistic.
Ok, 2nd
Not sure any lectures were given, past or present.
kudos to you. while I didn't rule it out, I sure as hell didn't think it was likely
I guess I prefer not to be reminded to “trust the process” too often
If Nostradamus was still alive St. John’s basketball would make him quit the prediction business.
Did not hear he passed, RIP “Nos”
I didn't even know we had a process
By the way, don't see any compliments today from Marillac for Jenkins or any for the last several games where he has been rock solid.

Oh trust me I hope so. But it is still a bad matchup. Hall has proven everyone wrong all yr. They are going to be a very tall task. If we play like we did today we lose by 10+. That said, it’s tough to beat anyone 3x straight in same season.
It didn’t look good at the time, that is for sure. But been watching SJU basketball for a long time and we have seen similar revivals. The elite 8 team in 1979 was 9-8 in late January. Lou’s last season in 1992 was 10-7 in late January. Lavin’s first year we were 11-8 in late January. So if those teams can make the dance, why not this years team. That was my outlook.
It looked bad at the time, and then got even worse. But let me ask you this: let's say we get beaten badly by SH and get knocked out in the play-in game, do you consider the season a success?
It would be extremely disappointing, but still a success in terms of making the dance. Something that has been far and few between since the start of this century.
I'm a "yes" on that for many reasons. It wasn't perfect but a winning BE record, 20 wins, a play-in game – those are all signs of progress.
Most of all, I've been reminded what it feels like to have a competitive St. John's team. I've always stayed a fan, but now I recall what it feels like to really be invested in the wins and losses. ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY LOVE IT!

I fully expected it and said that I wouldn't be surprised if we finished 5-0 and beating Creighton at MSG.
Unfortunately, early in the season we were not a cohesive unit and suffered the injuries to Luis, Davis and Dingle. We had two bewildering losses to teams like Michigan and Boston College and went down to the wire against Creighton and Uconn.
We had the talent all season but it took a while to coalesce.
This team should have been a 21 win team already and sailing into the NCAA tournament but WE ARE ST. JOHN'S!
Only if we make play in
