Yea. That's it. Obekpa can body Christmas and McCullough is good but he's not a huge matchup issue for us. Dom could cover him and so could obekpa if he had to. Rakeem isn't exactly an offensive machine.
I came away from this tournament feeling very good about this year. I have been waiting for three years to see some penetration to the basket and less passing the ball around the perimeter and finally it happened.
Jorden,Harrison and Pointer all drove to the basket. Turnovers will increase with this style of play but the pros will outweigh the negatives.
I was wrong in thinking that Pointer's play wouldn't improve this year. He looked great.
I was also wrong in thinking the league would take a step back this year.
There is a lot to feel good about.

Good point Monte. I have pushed Branch for that role, but he continues to make bonehead plays like that behind the back pass v Minny from the corner. I'm still waiting for him to mature and orchestrate, not contribute to the chaos. Disappointed, but hope he gets it soon.

My freshman year was Mulzoff's third and final year and at one point we were 17-2 and ranked 9th in the country. Ended up like 21-5 and played a first round game against Penn at The college of William and Mary which we lost by one point when Frank Alagia our 5'9 freshman point guard tried to be a hero and drove the lane in final seconds and had his shot blocked. Better options would have been Billy Schaeffer who averaged 24.7 pts per game that year still an SJU record, or Ed Searcy, or Mel Utley, or Kevin Cleuss, or Beaver Smith. Penn had two good bigs and they swallowed little Frankie up.That year was anything but depressing.

It was probably a slight offensive foul, but it was a TOTAL flop. The bottom line is you don't make that call 40 feet from the basket. Dee's arm wasn't really extended that much at all and he was doing it all night (and for four years now). The ref took away one team's chance to win. If he let's it go...maybe Harrison finishes the layup and we are still down one unless he is fouled and makes a fantastic +1--in which case Gonzaga has the ball and time to win the game.
Granted that extending the arm and creating space is technically an offensive foul and we would be villifying the ref had this gone against us..However, this was not the 1st time it occurred during the game as the Zag's guards routinely did it and there was a no more egregious non-call than Wiltjer's fend off of Greene's attempt to rebound

3 year record: 56-27 a .675 winning %.
He coached: Mel Davis, Billy Schaeffer, Tony Prince, Richie Lyons, Bill Phillips, and Greg Cluess, to name a few.
That said, these guys were recruited by Coach Carnesecca.
Frank Mulzoff, a captain on the team that went to The National Championship game in 1952, recruited Frankie Alagia and Beaver Smith which was a huge coup for us.
One NCAA appearance ( a lot fewer teams made the tournament than today). Lost to Penn, if memory serves.
Won (4 games in those years) The Holiday Festival in 1972 vs. South Carolina.
Believe Billy Schaeffer was the MVP.
Made the NIT, Billy's junior year (1972) and lost in the semi's. Maryland won the NIT with Tom McMillan, Len Elmore (Power Memorial). For our younger posters, Maryland was a top 5 team.
It was a totally different world than today. Needed to win your conference to go to The NCAA's and Maryland lost an epic game to UNC. The rules were changed the following year.
Remember the game well, as it was on TV. Depressing, watching Penn go into the four corners
delay which was popular at the time via North Carolina and Dean Smith.
The shot clock came a little later. Can't kill Mulzoff, the team won every year. Looie went on his sabbatical and would have stayed with the Nets, I believe, if he could still have coached Rick Barry, who a judge decided had to go back to the Warriors.
