MICHIGAN (@MSG), Mon., Nov. 13, 6:30p, FS-1

[SJU85]

Is Roses not back open yet? I had read an article they were returning. Used to be my go to

The sign is up but is not anticipated to be back until Spring of 2024 due to work Vornado (who owns the retail space and the Penn Plaza buildings are doing). Some of the other food places will open around January with the rest in the spring. Rosa’s have a location on the east side of 7th Avenue between 33rd and 34th Streets.

St. John’s suffers ugly loss to Michigan in Rick Pitino’s MSG debut as coach

The Johnnies were outclassed Monday night at both ends of the floor, unable to deal with Michigan point guard Dug McDaniel or the Wolverines’ deep front line.

Got home when game ended. I decided to check score an saw the L.

Glad I did... now I'll just watch the first half at most and then go to bed

Just hearing Traore getting first half minutes against a Big 10 opponent is hard to digest given he's got so little experience.

Not gonna let this become a buzzkill for Charleston but makes the next few days a bit less exciting

Hopefully VJ Edgecombe got to meet Repole and some of the other guys capable of making his dreams a reality.

 

[Marillac2]

Completely disagree about Posh. What he would have given you defensively he would have given up on the offensive end with his weak handle and poor shooting.

Unlike that juggernaut Jenkins.

Conway plays his heart out every possession. He's just not very good, which is unfortunate.

He's very good, just maybe not at this level and/or with the lack of talent around him. I think he could be a solid role player at this level on the right team.

 

[Andrew]

Guys like Conway and Traore won't get you the NCAA tournament but they were the least of our problems tonight.

 

[Roamer]

The curse of St. John’s was in full effect tonight.

When I don’t root for SJU I root for the Jayhawks and Michigan. Michigan is not a good team this year but tonight they made us look like a MAAC team. Lots of bball left but I wasn’t expecting a blow out loss tonight. The team looked like they just met each other and were playing pick up basketball. I wondered at times if last years squad would have done better.

 

[WalterMatthau]

Just got home from the game. Two takeaways.

1. Michigan fans are obnoxious as hell. Think UConn level (at least those sitting behind me in 119).
2. Not worried moving forward. They needed a dinner served cold. Take care of the ball and they will be fine in the long run.

Special thanks to brookjersey who paid for I think all the beers. He left mumbling tax loss

Geez if I knew Bob was buying, I woulda come hang in 114

This is a young team.

False.

 

[kranmars]

All I know is that the fan base turned out in large numbers and pumped up. We did our part in a huge way. Can't say the same for the extremely well paid team.

To be fair, Michigan is well paid as well. And they knew Pitino’s defensive signals.

 

[rehobie]

Very disappointed.
defense was not as advertised.
No flow to the offense.
Four turnovers from Ludlum as a secondary ball handler.
No post presence, Soriano points came on putbacks.
Just not crisp passing.
Yet I have hope.

Pitino long mentioned the defense is a work in progress.

Lavins first year we lost to Fordham. I’m just going to keep telling myself that

 

[Mean Gene]

After getting Pitino I thought the days of us getting embarrassed like this were over. I knew we’d lose some games early with all of the new guys melding together, but I thought we’d be competitive. Very depressing.

Villanova lost to Penn and Xavier getting beat by Purdue. Maybe the Big East not as good as we thought. If the Big East does not produce out of conference it will be a four bid league and we won’t make the tournament. I’m probably overreacting but after tonight it’s hard not to.

St.Bonaventure and Fordham back to back.

I don’t think they have an obnoxious base. It’s not even close to pukon or Syracuse.

We also lost at home to an extremely mediocre St. Bonnies team as well. We struggled early that year as we barely beat some mediocre-to- poor teams and got spanked a handful of times in the early part of the Big East schedule before getting ourselves together.

 

[Silly Donovan]

Unlike that juggernaut Jenkins.

He didn’t have a great game but Posh had a bad season.
