Neither Lavin nor his assistant coaches seem to know how to use their bench but should not surprise any of us. D'Lo is not a good defender and should not have been on Carlino to begin with but the only reason this game was close was Harrison's shot selection. I thought I was having Deja vu to his sophomore year!

He was having issues and had lost his starting job. He still is not playing up to his ability imo.

Jordan had a good game
38minutes, 4boards, 2stls, 3assists, 15pnts, and only 3 turnovers
Not the MVP though
Dom
39mins, 12boards, 6assists, 2stls, 6blocks, 15pnts, and only 2 t.o.

I love being right. Great game. Old time Redmen playing well when it counts.
Pointer reminded everyone why they were drooling over him earlier in the season. SirSwat.
Jordan threw an amazing thread the needle pass leading Pointer for a HUGE bucket. Played a really tight game - which he didn't look capable of this year.
Amar picked up 4 first half fouls when Lavin couldn't yank him fast enough after three, but he kept CO off the floor long enough to go into the 2nd half with 0 fouls. HUGE
Switching Pointer onto Carlino, who got locked up like the school bully getting silenced by a bigger, tougher kid. Two or three possessions after Dom took over, Carlino launched a 3 from about 30+ feet. When I played in some rough schoolyards against black kids, if you took a shot like that, backing off from inside play, they'd taunt you with "He's scared." And he looked it.
Greene hit some big shots, including the shades-of-John-Starks in your face in your traffic slam in the second half. Get that man a cape.
Nice win. Smaller crowd, but plenty of kids, and plenty of noise.
Saw my seat buddy Chris (the lurker) from New Hyde Park and his lovely girlfriend Roxanna (sp?) He told me he agrees with 90% of my posts, but not about Lavin. So Chris is wrong 10% of the time.
Met MUSE from redmen.com - nice guy. He told me he agrees with 50% of my posts, which makes him wrong 50% of the time. Respect the dude. He told me he beat Tony Jackson one on one, and that Tony Jackson was better than Connie Hawkins. Ok, you're right - he's a little crazed.

Just so you know, the Taco Bell near St. John's doesn't give you a free chalupa when your temperature breaks 100.

oddly enough I still have an appetite but the problem is it hurts so damn much when I swallow. My body aches so much I couldn't even drive to taco bell
To paraphrase Robin Williams, a sore throat is God's way of telling you that you eat too damned much.
Feel better and don't spread the flu down Franklin Avenue, at least not south of 7th street. If misery loves company I have a sore throat from yelling so much today - it's a good sign - in the glory days I'd come home with a sore throat after every game.

Linda Lovelace had the same problem!

The way Carlino smoked open threes it was a good call to foul him, risking two points to prevent a three that could have tied the game. Good call.

During our run to an 11-1 record Lav was occasionally utilizing Stewart and JDR. Christian Jones (who some thought may be a fill in for Sampson) apparently has been written off. Then again our wizard could use all three in the Duke game. We are........
Here are some of my observations
1. Marquette was an annoying ass team. Wojo is one annoying ass coach too. Running around and screaming and slapping the scorers table. The way he angrily motored down the hand shake line after the loss. Carlino was annoying too. Dancing around the court after hitting 3s. He's lucky he kept getting open. Finally Lav decided to put a two legged defender on him, so that helped. Pointer demolished him.
2. Sir Dom and Rysheed, were so damn good tonight. Guess what? That's 3 straight good games from Jordan. 3. He's getting there. Dom was incredible, but It was bittersweet because I was watching the game thinking, damn, he coulda done this easily against DePaul too. He should've played like that against DePaul. But what's done is done, he was huge tonight, and came up big when it mattered. Rysheed hit 2 clutch 3s tonight, a clutch and one, and also made an amazing pass to Dom. He's playing within the team, and I have this feeling he goes off against duke.
3. DLo, I don't know how hurt you were, but you shouldn't have played 35 minutes. Branch had a great game, really stepped up, and didn't get enough time. Stewart should've been put in with all the open 3s we were getting. DLo was overused and he should be getting rest.
4. Was an ugly game but glad to win, keep moving up. After what I watched tonight I don't know how we beat duke. But that's why they play the game. We have to play like we did in the first half and change against nova, with sheed playing better and also no sir Dom foul trouble.
It's ok if we lose to duke though, I'm focused on getting to 4-4 in BE play and moving forward from there.
