Nice work.
Looking Back at our Season

Providence was a good win, too.Looking back at our season; I'd rather not, except for beating cuse in Bklyn and yukon in Hartford.
Yeah, but I don't hate them the way I hate cuse and yukon.
We all were fooled that Curbelo was all World and would revert to his freshman year at Illinois and being home . It didn’t work out . Jones was suppose to offset the loss of Champy but , while he has played well in spots , he hasn’t displayed the consistency that Justin provided . Often being out of control . Which CMA didn’t deal with at all .
The stats just prove what our eyeballs told us all year. Bringing in Curbelo was a major mistake. It seemed the right thing to do at the time but just didn’t work out. It was suppose to strengthen the press but turned out just the opposite. It resulted in a poorer outside shooting team and Curbelos play contributed to a turnover prone team.
It also affected Posh whose play was just a struggle the whole season. I won’t say we would have secured a bid if Curbelo wasn’t brought in but a backcourt of Posh and Mathis which wouldn’t have lasted too long would have been a better choice.

I'm not gonna look it up... but i feel we were leading in most of all our Losses at one point (remember being up double digits vs Nova/Hall away)... anyway...not sure what that stat adds, just remember thinking we were playing well enough at points to Look like we could win.
Think the two Nova games were turning points... First one- Reality check. 2nd - Such hype going into our first MSG game only to turn into such a let down.
Anywho... 4 straight?

Just to clarify, they wouldn't be contacting coaches who still have something to play for but they would be contacting those coaches representatives.
Same line I was going to use but you beat me to it.Looking back at our season; I'd rather not, except for beating cuse in Bklyn and yukon in Hartford.

The most alarming stat to me is the points allowed. When you thought the defense couldn’t get any worse, it did and that’s with less points scored.
Prior to the season may of us said that if Anderson and staff didn’t improve greatly on the teams defense the season would be a bust…. And that’s exactly what happened, and that’s with a very athletic team.
As I’ve stated before, the Anderson regime will go down as the staff who couldn’t teach defense.

Points allowed has been atrocious, the 90's Knicks rarely gave up as many points as this team. so many games where the opposition score 50ish points in a half
did you just compare a stat from this SJU team to one of the best Knick's era team?....if satire, well done
We tried to outrace and outpace the other teams. Except we weren't the old runnin rebels or Loyola Marymount team. You need big time scorers to be able to do that.
Back in the 90’s. NBA defense was insane
Right... hence my confusion with comparing them to our defense this past year lol

Looking back at the season consider this…..
The team went 11-1 against an OOC schedule that may historically go down as the worst in conference history ranked in the 330 something.
In the Big East regular season, 5 of the 7 wins comes against the worst three teams in the conference in Georgetown, DePaul and Butler. The win against UConn came in the middle of UConns 5 or 6 game losing stream. And while the win agains PC was a good one, Providence went on to lose 4 of their last 7 games with a blow out loss to Seton Hall in the final game.
Statistically, the defense continued to be porous giving up a record amount of points to Marquette at home and yielding the most amount of points that Seton scored prior to the game against St. John’s in a blow out loser in Jersey. The offense was unstructured and mostly deficient.
So at the end of the day, from last year to this year, the Johnnys Big East record was worse, the defensive stats in conference were worse, the offensive stats worse and more players were benched/suspended then in recent memory yet there are those on this site that don’t believe the coach should be held accountable?
And this in a year when Anderson proclaimed to have his best talent/team ever here at St. John’s.

Ugh. When you put it that way, and you are correct, it’s even more friggin’ depressing!
We have more losses in that time than the French Army
