(POST-GAME) Creighton, Thur., Dec. 17, 5p, FS-1 / 970 AM WNYM

[quote="Johnnies 4 Life" post=409339]This used to be a place that I really enjoyed to read about St Johns basketball but unfortunately lately it just seems full of hate for the program and I’m getting to the point where I’d rather just avoid it than listen to the same miserable people posting the same garbage over and over.This group is far from perfect but we are in a situation where our younger players are thrown into the fire right away...this happens because there’s been no stability here for a very long time and our upper class men to be perfectly honest are not Big East players plain and simple.Our staff is working very hard to change the perception here and they are and will continue to bring in players that can compete here...unfortunately some of you only have the patience for instant gratification...ask yourself where this Crieighton team was 2yrs ago when they were freshman and sophomores...btw it’s Kansas on Sat.[/quote] literally have no clue how old you are I’m only asking for tv timeline but if you are my age 50 if you remember that tv show cheers. The theme song pretty much should be this board theme song. AnywY if you watch it and you see Norm imagine being Norm and every time you go to sit down at your bar stool so someone kicks thst stool away and you fall in the ground. St John’s fans are Norm

There's certain posters who constantly spew their venom. I think it's foreplay for 'em as they must jizz themselves as often as they spew their negativity and pessimism.

Nevertheless, it seems like a tough season is inevitable. I'm just hoping I can see improvement as the season goes on.

I’ll have what you’re having!:woohoo:

Stay away from the brown acid...
 
I can deal with losses like this. We are a conference bottom dweller that plays schizophrenic on both ends. Going up against a precise offensive team like Creighton, ranked in the top 10, did not bode well. Just outclassed.
It's losses like the Georgetown game and the way it was pissed away that irks me more.

We will be lucky to win 5 conference games.

"A hit dog barks."
 
Aside from our D, my biggest concern is that a certain player may just leave as opposed to receiving the message coach is trying to send.
 
[quote="Knight" post=409306]Creighton is a very good team. We are not.[/quote]

Knight let me ask you, when was the last time we were a very good team, 20 years ago?
It never happens anymore. We get good because we get a bunch of seniors every 4 years then suck the next because it's a young team once again.
 
[quote="Sju grad 13" post=409319]I still believe this team finishes 10-10 in the conference and goes to the NCAA tournament.[/quote]

Lmfao, that was a great joke sju grade, anymore?
 
This was a real bad CYO game. Only thing missing was one of those flip scoreboards on a card table. Their best defense was our offense.
 
[quote="L J S A" post=409361]Aside from our D, my biggest concern is that a certain player may just leave as opposed to receiving the message coach is trying to send.[/quote]
At this point if that's the way player X reacts why would we want him?
 
My gosh, that is some really poor defense. I think everyone had a hunch we were going to watch Creighton take a bazillion open threes, but it's still maddening.

Our half court offensive struggles are also not a surprise. The ball never goes inside-out, ensuring all our shots are contested. And, having two PGs that don't shoot well from deep just compounds the problem.

I am confident that CMA will engineer some growth, but geez......we look far away.

Right, especially since we have such deep roster

We’ve been good for games and parts of games for quite a while. Got to learn to make it season long. Anyway, 2020 is a Mulligan year as far as I’m concerned.
