Marquette Game

@SJUCoachLavin: Last 5 gms we’ve been pressing, it has been paying dividends. Challenge when we don’t score and are unable to set the press. #SJUBB

@SJUCoachLavin: Marquette is a very aggressive, athletic team. [Davante] Gardner is the nerve-center of the team and everything goes through him. #SJUBB

@SJUCoachLavin: Equivalent of a PG at the C position and one of the more intriguing talents in the #BIGEAST. We expect a very competitive game. #SJUBB

Talk less. Win more.

What do you expect him to say? They suck and we're going to win by 20?

I expect him to say nothing. Nothing. He is 2 and 6. Stop talking, just go out and get the win.

You do realize that there are pre-game press conferences and he is obligated to sit and answer questions, don't you? All coaches have to per their obligation to the conference, their school and the media outlets that pay to cover them. You think he runs around looking for someone to make gratuitous statements to?

He is obligated to sit and answer questions, yes. But he is under absolutely no obligation to post his comments on Twitter, where his statements are far more widely disseminated to the viewing public.

And funny you should mention gratuitous statements—in the wake of the team's abysmal performance, he’s no longer tweeting his Soho restaurant recommendations.

Funny how that works, isn’t it?

Let him do the real talking tomorrow- at MSG.
 
2-7 would point us towards a dismal finish. 3-6 seems more likely. We just aren't a 5-13 or 4-14 team - too much talent for that, right? Right?
 
speaking of Max Hooper, he got plenty of minutes last game, as far as im concerned he didnt maximize those minutes. He is not in there for defense or to run the offense, he is in there for one reason only, SHOOT the 3. He needs a quicker release and to create his own shot. Perfect example is how Creighton's Dougie does it. Just my two cents....

He is out there for one reason,to shoot the 3. Plays have to be run for him and team mates have to look for him when he is open.If he can start making his 3 s ,things will open up for everybody. But,he can't make a 3 if he is wide open and no one passes him the ball.

Tired argument. He's gotten 10x more of a chance than Marco Borgault, who is overall a better basketball player. Everytime you think of saying this again, think of Max curled up in a ball with 20 seconds to go and costing us the Providence game all by himself.


There was a kid we had just a few years ago who transferred out who could actually hit shots when they counter. HE went out west, and really didn't distinguish himself there, but didn score more points. What was his name?

Avery Patterson?

Larry Wright. IMO, he was a much better outside shooter an ballplayer overall than anyone we currently have off the bench.

Absolutely..Would have liked to see him and Hardy in the same backcourt.. 2 shooters.. at the same time..
 
No reason we can't go 7-3 during our last 10. Lose at home to Creighton and road losses to Nova and Prov. the rest are all winnable games. Fingers crossed. I really want these kids to play in the NIT assuming the NCAA is out of reach.
 
Jordan and Sanchez both not starting. BT said Jordan missed a practice and was late to another one.
 
Jordan's missed practice was because he was visiting his ill mother in the hospital. I believe they just mentioned she has Diabetes.
