Not so concerned about the game but Pitino’s response on Dingle more concerning. I thought it was precautionary.
They are called “exhibition“ games for a reason. My only two concerns from today was poor shooting. Everyone has a tough day but those numbers were pretty rough.
The other one is bigger. We went from Dingle having a sore shoulder and he missed a game a week ago as a “precaution”. After the game today it was “I don’t know when he’s coming back”. That is a little…concerning? I am a Mets fan and all that sounds a little alarming. Dingle is expected to be a big scorer for us. He is missing valuable team building time.

yeah Rick’s comment about Dingle injury was only thing of concern to me all day

Zach doesn’t write the headlines
I can 100 percent confirm that copy editors love to be dicks with their headlines.
Curbelo would have. We would have lost by ten.Noone would have made a difference today
Dicks like clicks. You can just imagine people with omg St. Joh’s lost to Pace. No matter that it’s a meaningless exhibition. That’s life. Sell sell sell.
Not sure he seemed ok when he played, he didn't really do much but besides Alleyne and a little Dunlop we had no other players who could hit anything today, I know it's only an exhibition but extremely disappointing how poor we played and looked......
Does anyone know where we can see the stats from today's game?
Thanks in advance, Tommy O

Rick Pitino & these available players losing to Pace is almost on par as a 1st game coach Mullin losing to St. Thomas Aquinas
Ooohhh, good one faux counselor. You're most certainly entitled to doubt my past sexual prowess. Kinda like I doubt that you even have 1 degree from SJU, let alone 2. In fact, I suspect you're none other then "Proud alum", who I'm relatively certain, based on his postings, never even graduated high school. That's the great thing about anonymous message boards, you can create whatever persona you'd like.
Well, guess the team got an ugly loss out of the way early. I wouldn't say there was nothing concerning, I think depth at some positions is questionable. That said, while this was an embarrassing loss, it's a million times less important than the regular season opener vs Stony Brook.
The team has seen everything in their two scrimmages. Blowing out a major opponent, getting beat down by a major opponent, winning a 2OT nail biter against a major opponent, and now losing to a D2 team lol. Have a feeling St. John's will obliterate Stony Brook next week.

Gut wrenching? No exhibition game is gut wrenching. LOL at this guy Waller.

Thoughts from the game, a 63-59 loss to Pace. #sjubb
- Not the outcome any of us expected, and the staff will have their hands full fixing some of the issues we saw today.
- There looked to be a lack of energy, fight and effort, in the second half it was especially puzzling. You'd think after the break you adjust and say alright no more playing games. Was that due to not having Soriano, Dingle, Luis, Davis, Ayo? Maybe but you should find a way regardless vs this competition. Seemed like Pace wanted it more, and they celebrated afterwards like it.
- The lack of interior scoring was alarming 3-16 on layups, out scored 36-10 in the paint. Unacceptable against anyone but against a smaller DII school is not what you want to see. There's questions about the front court depth all off-season, those numbers or this outcome won't help matters.
- Nahiem Alleyne was excellent again, and has proven twice he can be relied on as a shooter.
- Besides Naheim, there was nothing or no one's performance of note honestly. That's frustrating, that no one stood out...in a game that should have been a cake walk, there was no one who made a statement for themselves heading into the season besides Alleyne.
- SJU shot 26% from the floor, 23% from beyond the arc, 67% at the line, just can't happen.
- The crazy thing is SJU only turned the ball over 6 times. Pace turned it over 15 times but SJU only scored 9 pts off them.
- Social media is gonna have a field day with this outcome, it is what it is. There's been a lot of hype, this isn't what you want for optics. But the staff will use it at fuel. I'm sure if this was a real game that counted most of the guys who sat out would play.
- Just have to keep working to get the chemistry together. I thought there was a lack of talking in the half court, which is something I know Pitino preaches.
- Daniss Jenkins wasn't really looking to score at all which left the offense stagnant.
- And the 26% from the field tells you everything, they just couldn't score. I guess that happens at times, it sucks, it was ugly, it was a gross outcome but thankfully it didn't count.
- See ya November 7th

He was looking to see what he's got in everyone else. I think he saw enough from Rutgers. I noticed similar with Jenkins today till late in the game
We’ll said
