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

[quote="Paultzman" post=323426]5/30 on FG attempts collectively for Booth, Paschall & Gillespie. Have to credit SJ D in second half, no?[/quote]
Gillespie scored in the 1st minute and the last minute.
 
To Section 3 :
It was Geo 41 SJU 9 when I grabbed the wife and kids and left the garden. Ewing looked the second coming of Wilt.
 
[quote="Mario DiMaria" post=323432]Does anyone know about recruits at the game?[/quote]
They all signed. Mullin had to shoo them away with 2 minutes left.:)

The same coach you said this about tonight while we trailed:

“Structured, well prepared, sharing ball team v polar opposite am sorry to say.”

Care to walk that back?[/quote]

At the time I believed that, especially sharing ball comment. I did not think SJ could come back and was wrong. I am capable of owning what I say, unlike a certain hyperbolic, over the top, needy little man. Looking forward to your self imposed sabbatical post season “Coach”[/quote]
Frankly, it was true. They were very disciplined at the start. And, we did start to panic at points as evidenced by some forced shots and obvious frustration.
 
What an amazing game I have no voice left but it was awesome, had some cool nova fans in front of me very respectful shook hands after the game congratulated me but the annoying woman behind me it was great in first half she kept laughing every time we missed a shot and saying we stink and making comments when we came back I turned around and said who’s laughing now do we still stink! But the guy in front of me said it would be great for the league if we became a great program again and that Mullin is a class act!
 
[quote="tac" post=323435]The biggest part of the come back tonight was when Simon was on the bench.....please leave him there, he kills us when he plays, no defense cant shoot fouls, cant shoot anything except heaves at the end of the half. PLEASE LEAVE HIM ON THE BENCH !!!!!![/quote]
Hey, he dId shoot poorly from foul line. But, otherwise is a great teammate and contributed a lot to the win.

Exasperating at times. But, I love this kid. Heart of a lion.

Personal insults over a basketball game to someone several decades younger than you...really? And it wont be a sabbatical it’s permanent because I don’t want to be some pathetic old man who stalks boys and argues with guys in their 20s and 30s. Thanks for showing me what I don’t want to become.[/quote]
Marillac..I love your optimistim and insight. But, cmon Paultzman is a great poster and extremely even keeled...we all differ in our views but universally have a passion for SJ...today was an extremely emotional win for all of us...let’s enjoy it and keep posting

The game is 40 minutes. Nova was bad in the second half and Wright didn’t do a thing to stop the avalanche. The announcers repeatedly remarked how disjointed the Nova offense was, how bad their body language was, and how many badly forced shots they had. It was Mullin with adjustments at half and the set plays out of the breaks. It was the Johnnies who were composed and heady.

Nova gets a certain kind of recruit that St. John’s isn’t privvy to on a consistent basis at this point. They bring in very skilled kids.

Agree and Mullin deserves credit. His kids don’t quit and rarely if ever lose confidence. Something that he does extremely well.
 
Saddiq Bey hit a 3-pointer with 3:25 left in the first half to make it 34-16 Villanova.

We outscored them 55-31 the final 23:25 in the game. Let that sink in.

What a game to make my season debut...
 
[quote="Jack Williams" post=323499][quote="ron " post=323497]Great to see the board upbeat!!![/quote]

funny thing is, that it barely is upbeat. We could win the national championship and we'd all still be taking shots at one another lmao[/quote]

Where can I sign up to put that scenario to the test lol

As a Giants fan Mullin’s demeanor in tight situations reminds me of Eli. Eli’s lack of emotion infuriates fans and both seasons be won the super bowl many fans wanted him replaced and Coughlin fired. But when the game is on the line and people freeze up, the the guys who can stay calm have a huge advantage. Mullin channels that energy to his guys and that is how we play our way back into to many games. I still don’t understand how we beat Gtown and VCU.

Great to see how Heron has gotten back into such a nice groove.

Love hearing that. That is what we bring to the table.

My sister watched the game and told me Lavin said we were the 6th man.
