(POST-GAME) Villanova (MSG), Sun., Feb. 17, 5p, FS-1 / 570 AM

Let's go 3-2 down the stretch, could easily go 4-1, but 3-2 will do nicely. We are in absent a collapse. Really want to beat Hall next weekend.
 
Impressive. Thanks again guys for a win of this caliber. Amazing comeback. Jay wright technical was huge in my opinion. Kept building that momentum.

Are you calling out a famous SJU alum?[/quote]

Not sure.. What year did they graduate?
 
[quote="Marillac" post=323399]Figueroa played one of the best 20-minute stretches of anyone I’ve ever seen at St. John’s in the second half. Wow. When I say he was the best player on the floor I mean it wasn’t even close.[/quote]

Him adjusting his attack mentality after getting a few charges last few games shows you the type of player and kid we are dealing with. A few drives today he mAde great adjustments making sure not to give the flippers a chance to set up.
 
[quote="Marillac" post=323408][quote="guinness77" post=323401][quote="Marillac" post=323393]Some serious shots were take at the staff in the game thread, anyone want to apologize or walk them back now?[/quote]
I don’t know if what I posted would be considered a shot, but when you have a guy as hot as Figueroa, he HAS to get the ball every possession. Whoever else is taking a shot, especially a bad one, needs to hear so.[/quote]

Whenever we do bad, it’s the staff. Whenever we do well, it’s the players. That’s just childish.

Wright failed to make any adjustments in the second half.[/quote]
Are you calling moi childish?
Because if me pointing out the hot hand needs the ball every possession and the coaches not recognizing that isn’t a problem then that’s an awfully big brush you paint with.

Otis doesn’t deserve this :)[/quote]

Lol.. Otis has been good in my book since the end of the Lav years. Back in those days I hated to even take the elevator at work cuz I had to see his name.
 
What a Jekyll and Hyde game !!!
We absolutely sucked in the first half.  Especially Shamorie Ponds.
Kudos to the coaches with getting the players into a different mindset in the 2nd half.  As Howie Schwab Williamson predicted once our stats improved in the 2nd half it became a game.  Figgy was terrific and Mullin made sure we went to him.  Kid gives 110% every game. 
Heron too was a difference maker while Clark disappointed once again with very poor defensive attempts.  Bench scoreless as usual but Trimble and Keita were utilized strictly for defensive purposes.  This team, with any offensive threat from the bench, would've been dangerous in March. 
 
For the kenpom experts out there, what was our probability of winning after trailing 29-10?
 
Playing in CA gives SJU a bigger home court advantage and it is more convenient for most fans to get to but it is the minor leagues compared to MSG. Cragg is absolutely right that MSG is needed for recruitment and to get the city behind the team.
And tomorrow's newspaper coverage is just another bonus.

Loves Jay almost as much as Diet Coke

Looking at rebounding and shooting stats tonight, they were very close. We won this game at foul line, we both shot 75%, but we took 9 more foul shots.
 
5/30 on FG attempts collectively for Booth, Paschall & Gillespie. Have to credit SJ D in second half, no?
 
[quote="espken" post=323405]Great comeback, it doesn't make up for the 3 homes losses to DePaul, Gtown, and PC but it sure takes the sting away.
Payback is biatch, blow 15 point lead @ Nova, then comeback from 19 down against them @ MSG.
How sweet it is.[/quote]

I want to beat the living blank out of PC and shu. Payback is a real mother.
