1st half- wtf is this we are watching are we ever going to make a basket
2nd half- holy cow wait we have a shot yes we have a shot we win we win we win !
Immediately post game-what a game these kids they just don't quit what a win !
Next Morning-our NET went down we might have only lost 3 games this year by 5 total points but we need to win every game left on the schedule by 13 points or more in order to feel comfortably in

Just watched the replay on Peacock. Phew. Cardiac kids is right. Great, gritty game to win, especially with Deivon on the bench. Candidly, I hope he sits out the Seaton Hall game also. I'd prefer to have him in for the rest of the season than risk some kind of long term injury because he doesn't have the full range of motion in his shoulder. That makes you play thinking about it the whole time, and you end up doing weird things.
This Georgetown team is a good team. I was scared about this one coming in. Felt primed for a let down here. If they keep some of their squad, they're a possible tourney team next year.
Both Kadary and RJ were off tonight, but made the big plays when we needed them. That seems to be the story with both all season. If RJ can be just a bit more consistent with his 3, its going to open up the game for a lot of the team. Hope he keeps working on that. And for the love of Pete, kick the ball out on maybe 20% more of his drives and we'll get some more open 3's. He's also getting blown by too many times for somebody as athletic as he is. Seems he's not focused on defense. Maybe catching a breath.
I think this was a HUGE game for Scott. 4-7 from downtown. This is the kind of game that breaks a funk. Honestly, that shot off the backboard could do it. Sometimes you just need a little help and to start seeing the ball through the hoop. He also chipped in 9 rebounds, and was much better defending Peavey than RJ was. PotG for me.
Sim has it, he just needs it to be there for 40 minutes. Made huge plays to win us the game in the last two. Defense is much improved when he's focused, 2 steals and 2 blocks last night.
Zuby had a slow night on offense but held Sorber to 5 points. That was huge.
Keep on rolling boys!

If we have 23 wins with only 1 questionable loss...we are in 100 times out of 100. 24 or 25 wins and even a consideration that we'd be out with 1 questionable loss is SJU PTSD kicking in rather than reality.
To be honest, I had never heard the term nurses elbow before for this type injury. Had to look it up. You have more experience with this injury than I do so I'll defer to you lol.
I would think it could affect range of motion at first depending on severity and pain and swelling to the area but seems like recovery could be quick especially in kids.
Impressive to me to see Sim step up and not hesitate to take and make a big shot late in two consecutive games.
If Sorber is guaranteed to be a top 20 pick, he's likely gone.
Yep, was there too. Men vs. Boys. But a great rivalry was born out of that game.

Another poster on the site said that Sim’s dad kept yelling at him to score the ball. I hope Sim isn’t hearing that. Such crap from a parent in the stands not only puts a lot of pressure on a player but disrupts what the team is trying to do. In my coaching days I’ve seen more than a few players get screwed up by this. Pitino himself has already stated that there are a few parents who have too much to say. This may account for some of Wilcher’s shooting issues?
Well was he saying “score it” or “shoot it”?

Didn't Coach tell his Dad to tell Sim to keep shooting? Coach definitely tells Sim that.
Pitino told the world he wants Sim to shoot more. His dad is just providing a reminder.
Time to assign one staff member, even an intern if need be to lead the charge to contact/honor/involve past players in a structured and continuous manner. Am sure our valued poster, Alumni Hall, could offer some history and suggestions going forward. As I’ve noted a few times, Nova does a great job with that via events, social media and honoring players at games.
They showed Dwight on the big screen and he got a nice ovation.
Saw & a start
He clearly hyperextended the elbow. I was concerned when he went straight to the locker room. But he wound up returning and re-entering the game, I'm sure he's fine.
