After I left early and had time for train went up those new stairs in Penn to get a cheesesteak sub. Couple students were buying food and took out their iPhone ti count their change . WTF !

Posh will have a very good year. Take it to the bank
Wish this game
At least they still were paying with cash!!
First 15 minutes was a hell of a game. There were moments I thought St John’s was about to blow the lid off with a stop and a bucket but they just didn’t happen.
Burnett could absolutely not miss a shot even with a hand right in his face from 24 feet away. Guy had a hot as hell first half and that alone sunk us.
If Burnett was even above average (and not perfect) we go into the half very close and I’m not sure this team runs out of steam early in the second. It’s hard to play a guy who seems to virtually be automatic on a given night.
Ledlum was abysmal. He’s fine against low level teams but he needs to know his role against better teams and not try and be a LB turned PG.
DJ needs to tighten his grip and not let it fly as much. He’s just not an all conference guy at this level. But that doesn’t mean he can’t improve and be a key player and lead us far.
I saw basically no pick and rolls. Maybe it was by design to take them away but I think that unsettled the offense. They needed an answer and we never really got it. Joel played well overall IMO but we need to get him the ball. This is a Soriano + Dingle axis here and they need fed.
I know Wilcher is a freshman in game 2 but for being a top 40 guy he certainly seems to be timid out there. Hopefully that changes because he not only has the chance but absolutely needs to contribute more.
I don’t think Michigan out hustled or out efforted our guys but they certainly got every bounce. Whether that’s from their missed 3s or just random bounces…the basketball gods seemed to favor them tonight.
I’d much rather take this loss tonight then lose to this same or similar team (even in a close game) in late March. This team will get better.

It’s not the loss that’s the issue Ray. It’s the fact that we weren’t even competitive.
The fact we got blown out does not make Rays post inaccurate. Growing pains are called growing pains for a reason. I wish I could tell you all that if we are gonna lose, it’s always gonna be by one point and be a super good game. But that’s just not the way it works sometimes. This team has a long way to go
I wish I had left MSG with 5 minutes left in the 1st half. Even better, with 5
minutes gone in the 1st half
Are you talking about peppers in 119? Sitting with Syracuse?

The problem with a game like this is that after all the work Beast and his buddies put in to filling an arena, that goes out the window when you are getting your doors blown off in a game you were predicted to win. Once again, if you build it (with wins) they will come…. Period.
Best controlled summary of the game. We all need to keep this in perspective.
Just turn on the MSG sprinkler system with some red strobe lights and it would be red storm
So the 10 or so pages on this thread worried about attendance was a waste of time. Good crowd on a Monday night. Our biggest problem was poor performance because that effort wasn’t worth the time or the money.
Exactly! At the bar with Eric and some friends before the game and I said to them that it's really important that we play a close game with them. I wanted a win but a close loss would have been ok IMO. I put money on the Johnnies. I never expected a blow out.
A die hard SJ fan does show for this game. Nothing wrong with anyone choosing not to attend. But, unless its finances or a schedule conflict, if someone CHOOSES not to attend, they aren’t a die hard SJ fan.

Offensively, I would put the ball in Dingle’s hands instead of Jenkins. Run the offense through him and Soriano.
A long way to go is putting it mildly Jack. I understand what you’re saying. But, for us fans who’ve been around 40+ years like myself , time is running out and I’m younger than some on here who been fans even a lot longer than I.
Since I know the outcome before I watch the 1st half replay, I think before I go to bed, I'll watch more highlight clips of Amar killing Syracuse or the Giant Slayer win over Duke
Shouldn't have ordered the Mutton
