Not surprised. Based on how they react t0 three point shooters, lateness is the norm for this team.

Given that Clark and Simon are Senior leaders I don't think that's small stuff at all. Without knowing what it was, sounds like it was dealt with and hopefully doesn't happen again.

Richmond Aririguzoh, 6'9, 240 was a problem for us inside. Credit to Clark and Simon for helping guard this future doctor. It was good to see Keita walking normally and as has been stated he is going to be a key player when we start playing teams without Ivy League future physicians on their front line. Aririguzoh has an interesting story. He was born in Italy to Nigerian parents and immigrated to the U.S. at the age of 12.
The game itself was very entertaining with a fast pace that allowed the Princeton guards to run amok for much of the game. Cannady did pretty much whatever he wanted on offense so as others stated our perimeter defense still sucks. Great to be 9-0 and there should be no reason not to be 12-0 in a couple of weeks.
Hopefully by then we will have a semblance of an inside game because without one it will not be a very happy new year.

[quote="Paultzman" post=307363]Not to dwell on small stuff, but apparently sitting three guys was a lateness issue per Braziller[/quote] it’s true. One of the guys told us but we couldn’t say anything but since Z put it out 114 can confirm

Can you put who's who? It's a great picture btw[/quote] back row left to right Eric ,Room112 ( who makes me feel freaking old because I remember when he was at UConn and I think he said tonight he’s 35, me The infamous Jack Williams, Weathermannyc, Beast of East, the Famous lurker but doesn’t post much Ralph and front row Left to right Olv72 and Jersey John. Some 114 guys missing from the pic but this is a lot of our crew. Should be noted that obviously I love my 114 crew but everyone here if you get a chance to try and meet up with the redmen.com guys any game you go to home or away because it truly is a website full of a bunch of awesome friends. And obviously goes without saying but without Paul creatimg my favorite site on the internet none of this would even be possible

Glad we could meet up. Too bad wasn't longer time for beers. I'll leave the roll call for others as I don't wanna mess up anyones names. I'm standing back row to the left. Eric
Fun game.
Edit. I see it was done a couple posts before this.

[quote="Paultzman" post=307292][quote="MCNPA" post=307291]Are we ever going to learn how to defend the perimeter? This isn’t overly complex...[/quote]
Way past the time that they should have grasped that & execute. Frustrating group defensively.[/quote]
Mullin doesn’t seem to demand it. They should have invited Princeton to give it to a big. Their bigs stunk.

[quote="NCJohnnie" post=307316]We had this game blown open and all the momentum until Coach put in Williams, Trimble & Dixon together and Princeton went on 11-0 run. Frustrating.[/quote]
Williams substitution was fine. Doing it without leaving a Ponds or heron in is just careless

St. John's is up 3 points at the half.
If St. John's cannot get separation to put away a 4 - 3 win Princeton team then we will be disappointed when St. John;s plays Villanova, Marquette, Seton Hall and others in the Big East. Not good.
It is true Princeton has not played all that well early and has a couple of losses that don't look great on their resume. However I would point out that after their senior star guard Devin Cannady, that their second best player seemed to clearly be Jaelin Llewellyn a four star freshman. The thing is that Llewellyn had not played for Princeton before today due to a foot injury (see link below). So this Princeton team we played was much stronger than they had been before today's game.

That all said I thought we played very well in spots and somewhat lackluster at other times. Ponds was great again and Figueroa, Clark, Simon and Heron had some good moments too.
The problem with assessing this team's overall ability is that we have not played an opponent of a relatively equal or superior strength yet. We will need to play better when the competition improves when conference play begins. However I think we will likely play better as the games get tougher. The best stretches we have played thus far has been when we have been down and in trouble. When it has come to crunch time the team has come through and found a way to win.
Thus far we are one of nine undefeated teams in the country and while one could complain about style points or project that we aren't really all that good, nine and zero is still nine and zero. So regardless we could not be any better than we are record wise. Going forward we have that undefeated record to build on and that is a good thing.
