Your "love" list is like two entirely different lists smushed into one LOL. I did like Horne and Greene.

That may be why people don't bring him up, plus two years back when guys were here 3 or 4 years.
I was about to ask who Dupre was lol as it didn't hit me right away you meant Joe.
You mean Jumping Joe!
Simpler times when Marillac and Carmine both agreed on Greene.
Recinded Gary Payton's scholarship to sign Broadnax. Now THAT'S overrated.

I'm blaming spell check.
Yes, liked Billy. Very good here.
And his teammate Elander Lewis
didn't Goodwin (Who I loved) have a guy on his team with the last name Washington? Maybe misremembering.
I think we had a Larry Washington, but can't remember if we part of one of Goodwin's teams.
You've been a St. John's fan for too long (as have I). We're used to losing. It's time to get used to winning.
There's a new Sheriff in town and CRP is telling this team to win out!
You are from a different generation than me and a few others of the elders on the site. We were always used to winning, sometimes an NIT title (when it still meant something) and sometimes a second-round NCAA win or a regional final (even a Final Four, which remains hard as shit to do). We were NEVER EVER used to losing. The last 30+ years have been an interregnum for me, and I am so happy I lived long enough to see the end of it.

Good post. However, I think historically we suffered far more March failures than success. Coach Carnesecca was 17-20 in the ncaa tournament, 13-19 if you remove 1985. (Lou was 10-7 in the NIT)
For this reason, what our fans really need is a Sweet 16 (3 wins) or better team this year to really convince fans that this isn't smoke and mirrors.
This has been a fantastic season thus far, but let's not revise our history to think that great seasons were anything more than few and far between.
That's what it's felt like, an interregnum, pure shit, a downer, whatever. I'll try come up with more words for everyone's edification
I gotcha, but we were always over .500 and playing for something, March failures notwithstanding.
It was always more good than bad, which is not what we've been dealing with for so long.
Ansolutely from the time I started following us in 1964-65 until the Mahoney years we were always winning program and a pretty darn good one.
Beast , you speak the truth . I loved Lou as our Coach and as a person .
But, watching him from his 1st season to his last , there were more than a few games that I still scratch my head on and wonder what went wrong on the sidelines .
There were 2 NCAA games that stuck in my mind as , lost by our Coaching .
One was a NCAA game against Princeton that we lost . I think it was in the mid to late 70’s.
The other , also in the late 70’s Vs Penn.
We could have gone to the next round if we had beaten Tony Price and Penn .
We lost in the late stages . This , after beating a very good Rutgers team , with Jammin James Bailey 2 nights before .
It’s pure conjecture about 1985 and G’Town , Villanova, etc .
We beat G’Town early in the Season at MSG but , then lost 3 in a row to them . The last in the Final 4 semi final .
Mullin was playing against a box and 1 and we did zilch to get him loose .
Plus , we had Berry that year and didn’t shift the offense to Walter , who had no one whocould guard him , since Wingate was on Mullin .
Nether Lou or Mahoney could figure that out ?
Another poor decision was playing Mike Moses over Mark Jackson in those games .
Mark would have put pressure on the Hoyas that Moses couldn’t . And , gotten the ball to Berry .
But , woulda , shouda , etc
