Georgetown, Sat. Feb. 25, Noon, YES&FOX/570

DePaul over G'town last night. Who would have expected that? The Hoyas will come out pissed on Saturday. Hopefully we do too.

Billy Garrett Jr of DePaul had a quote after the game with something along the lines of Georgetown not trying and giving up. I think they have packed it in for the season, especially with JT3 on the really hot seat.

Edit: here's the actual quote: "We got a sense that they kinda didn't wanna play that hard."

St. John's is last in Big East in points allowed, 3 point defense 8th in field goal percentage defense, last in defensive rebounding #sjubb

Regarding St. John's defense, also important to note they have defended very well at home. Allowing about 65 PPG in Big East there #sjubb
 
i think we realistically have to give Mullin a full 3 seasons to grade his Coaching. Richard Pitino, Minnesota Coach, was among the worst Big 10 teams in the League last year. This Year they have 20 Wins already and play a High RPI schedule. Basically a lock for NCAA.

Remember too, thanks to Stevie Wonder, we have No Seniors on this team that play. Experience makes a difference. I think we forget that fact as fans. Often.

Based on your last sentence, three years is not enough. He needs time to get his players in here and develop some continuity. He's still scrambling to balance the team class wise. The 18 & 19 classes are critical and that's just hopefully the start of consistency both on the recruiting trail and on the court. 5 seasons should be the minimum. Hopefully Chris sticks around beyond that so we can begin to bring some normalcy here.

Hiring a new coach every five years is not getting us anywhere, 5 year plans didn't work for Uncle Joe, and they're not going to work here.

Where did he get that number from? Our points allowed at home, in the Big East, is:

73, 85, 70, 68, 82, 72, 70

That's 74.3 ppg, if I added it up right.

Better then average (by our standards), but not 65 ppg.

We've heard that for the last 3 games. We need him in this game to help counter G'town's bigs.
 
I have 1 FREE court side ticket to tomorrow's game, if anyone wants it.

"Gametime decisions" are never good especially when your rehabbing an ankle.

Would be nice to get an early verbal from Precious. He is family.
 
Ponds need 22 points to score 500 points.
