(POST GAME) Georgetown, Sun., Dec. 20, 6:30p, FS-1 / 570 AM WMCA

[quote="newsman13" post=409989]Good to hear Dave Sims on mike... Always does a great job.[/quote]

I feel the exact opposite. Called Roberts a freshman and couldn't say Dylan Addae-Wusu all night. If I had to hear him call him addawally wasa one more time I was going to lose it. So frustrating if he is the best the Big East can get. Jusr learn the players names at the very least.
 
[quote="MarkRedman" post=410017]We won primarily because we shot the ball very well tonight
48% FG percentage, 45% from 3 point land and 81% from the charity stripe

Very happy for the win. But we must be able to pull out wins when we don't shoot 45% from 3, but a more realistic 30-35%. I hope around 80% from the free throw line will continue.
 
Hi Guys. Haven’t been on board (finished and published a novel) for a while, but never missed a game, so kindly forgive me if this question has already been answered. Why is Roberts getting so little time? He improved noticeably last year. Outclassed by the new personnel? In the dog house?

According to his Aunts tweet, he’s coming off of shoulder surgery and it’s taking some time. She said there is no doghouse scenario.

See what you're saying. But Sims has been around a long time. And some of my earliest memories of the Big East (only about 20 years or so back) include him calling those games. He's got a very extensive history in calling games across many sports. For me he's a pleasure to listen to.
 
JPM114 on lineup change

One lineup change had a clear affect in the scoring column. Vince Cole opened the game with Greg Williams and Posh Alexander as the back court trio and he responded with a 17-point effort on 3-8 shooting from distance. The other change did not have nearly the impact on the box score. In fact, Arnaldo Toro did not have a single field goal try on his stat line, scored just one point and had 5 rebounds with 3 assists in 19 minutes. Those are modest numbers to be sure but Toro’s contributions, though subtle were essential. His play went a long way towards helping St. John’s find the connectedness that had been lacking in the first 3 conference losses. On offense he facilitated ball movement with his passes and screening and on defense his hedging and rotations were outstanding. He also provided needed physicality against Georgetown’s sophomore center Qudus Wahab who finished 1 block short of a triple double in last week’s overtime win for the Hoyas but was limited to just 12 points and 6 caroms in last night’s loss.

Williams has the ability to beat BE guards off the dribble and get to the rim . His shooting has also improved and his sense of what he can do on the Court . Obviously , when he was recruited by the Mullin regime by the way , they saw BE potential in him . Nice to see him getting the playing time and a definite role in the Offense . He just needs that slight bit of assertiveness , which he showed last night . Hope he keeps it up . Posh played well and penetrated . He has a lot of tools for a freshman , despite his smallish stature . He could improve his left hand dribble , develop the Cross over move and improve his long range shooting . He does that and he’s a All BE performer for the next 3 years.
 
1. Nice win; complete game from a lot of players
2. Sims likes St. John's so I like Dave Sims
3.Zach b. of NYP talked about a team meeting/hearing out session, maybe it helped
4. Lots of assists good sign

4. It was still Georgetown in our gym; let's see if this good play continues against better competition.
 
Wins are ephemeral, losses are forever.

We seem to have had a, um, technical difficulty involving that thread. We have top men working on it. Top. Men.
 
By the way, I notice Rasheem Dunn has been hitting those mid range, stop-and-pop jumpers. If he can hone that shot, it could be a nice boost to his game.

Will Dunn be on next year’s team? Gets an extra year of eligibility, right?
 
Dunn has always been hitting those eighteen foot jump shots. He has the quickness to get that shot off. His offensive game is improving because he is taking the three point shot out of his game. He is shooting 45 per cent from two point range and nine per cent from three but he has only taken eleven threes. 
Those eleven attempts are down from last year and that is the reason for his improvement. He is just not a long range shooter.

for some reason, he has to shoot in rhythm
 
Dunn is a playground player - he's spent his whole life making shots while on the move.  It's become such second nature to him that he isn't comfortable shooting while standing still.  He will take the exact same shot from the exact same spot if he can dribble to it that he won't take if he is standing there all by himself and gets the ball. 

He's clearly worked on the midrange jumper though, which is good.  It's the same 2 points whether he shoots it on the move or standing still. 

Cole, Greg, Champ, and to some extent Earlington can all hit the spot-up three, so there's enough to work with there from an offense standpoint, even though it's a handicap for Dunn.

The flip side is Moore, who is in love with his standstill 3 and at this point should probably never take it.  He has a great midrange game, but he's (at least) a year behind Champagnie (who has extended his range from the mid-range last year to the 3-pointer this year).

Only playing 5 games so far I would still stay over 2 attempts from three at 9% is too many. It's obviously makes it tough when teams are playing 4 feet off of him on the perimeter. Him and Posh together IMO is something we really have to avoid as much as possible.
