Agree with Monte on W-L record, but taking it a step further, I believe conference record is most important, especially when most out of conference games for top conferences ate warm-ups and almost guaranteed wins except a few tough tests.
Conference record really tells you how you stack up vs. your peers you should be most competitive with

and therein lies the immediate problem which the staff is capable of fixing. For a coach with a rep as a gréât defensive coach this statistic is mind boggling. Makes you dream of Lou’s tough man to man d where every bucket was earned by the opposition. A slower more boring game but the results were better.Paultzman post=453970 said:
College basketball has changed into a long ball game during the past decade or so.
My friends who are Syracuse University fans believe that the vaunted Boeheim 2-3 zone is far less effective in year 2022 than it was in year 2010 because players are able to hit the 3 with greater consistency and the 3 is now an intracal part of most teams offense.
For the same reason I believe that the helter skeleter style “40 minutes of hell” may need fine tuning to better accommodate outside shooting.

All of those stats are a byproduct of St Johns being 3rd in the nation in pace of play/possessions per game. Interseting to note that Nova held St Johns 13% below it's season average. In other words they controlled the game and kept St Johns in the half court on offense where I think they're kind of incompetent.

They controlled the pace of the game on the offensive end by taking their time to pick up the ball and in bound it after a St. John's made basket to ensure everyone was in the right spot before they touched it. The clock kept running and they were set up to inbound helping to negate the press. Then running their regular offense and clicking on ball movement and made shots.austour post=454046 said:
FYI.... got an update from SJU ticket office on the status of postponed Marquette game.
They are still awaiting word from BE Conf office on potential reschedule. as also advised that if the game is not rescheduled, they will not be replacing it with a non-conference game.
I bought these tickets on StubHub, so I'm not sure if I'll get a refund/credit from StubHub if not rescheduled. Anyone know how that works?

What are the differences in the style of man-to-man D we play today and the man-to-man D we played 30 years ago?redmannorth post=453973 said:

This is more on point. To say our half court offense is incompetent or inept is just uninformed complaining. We run a good half court offense based on spacing, passing, off-ball movement and cuts to the basket. We get plenty of good looks. The biggest problem is that our players miss lots of open shots. Some have gotten better and hopefully that improves, but talent and execution is what wins or loses. Our system is fine.usguard post=454158 said:

As one who called the half court offense incompetent I guess I should clarify that I was talking about the execution more than the system. I swear this team misses more layups than any other teams I watch and draws less fouls doing it. I suggest a lesson in going strong to the hoop.

I have a younger buddy of mine who I workout with, he’s 49 and in phenomenal shape. He got Covid and it took a year before his heart rate and lung function went back to normal. His resting heart rate was 100 for a year. He’s a Corrections Officer and they would not clear him to work until everything went back k to normal. I’m not saying or speculating what Pinzon’s issues are but this could take time depending on what symptoms he’s having. There are plenty of long haulers out there. Thoughts and prayers go out to Mr. Pinzon, basketball is nothing , his health is all that matters.

Thank God she’s ok now Mike. I know how scary that be. My wife is a year out from Covid and she still doesn’t have her taste and smell back totally. It’s coming back but at a snails pace. The Dr. Told her that it could take up to two years to come back. After two years, if it’s not all the way back then wherever she is at that point it will probably stay that way.

So where are those posters who said “It makes no sense that he could be cleared to be out of quarantine and around team but not able to play” and then doubled down when I said he had to take and past certain tests including cardiac ones?
Viruses can affect people in different ways and the unusual and not the norm can happen, even to “healthy” young athletes. Let’s pray for a full recovery and go from there.
