Regarding the bad shooting, look no further than Wusu. He has been abysmal. Actually has become tough to watch.
Wusu Last 3 Games
4 -for-23 from the field
0-for-7 from three
8 Turnovers
6 Assists
Give his minutes to Smith and Stanley until he figures things out.

Boxscore may show we won 2nd half but eyes say we didn't. We were down by 19 with under 6 minutes left. Nova was in no threat to lose and clearly let up a bit in final few minutes.

I know we shot horribly from three, but most were not good looks. We definitely took the shots that Villanova wanted us to take from three. It is mire about shot selection or maybe more accurately how well they defended that had us shooting low percentage threes.

Our beloved St. John’s is 11 wins and 8 losses with 11 scheduled regular season games remaining.
Of the 11 remaining games St. John’s will play at least 8 games in which it will be the heavy underdog (in no order) Villanova, Yukon, Providence Xavier (2 times), Marquette, Butler (at Hinkle) and Creighton.
In all likelihood an invite to the NCAA is not happening.

I think the majority of us feel that the NCAA tournament no longer is a realistic goal. I feel that way but I will still keep dreaming at least until after the Providence game Tuesday night. What really frustrates me is that we always seem to be on the losing end of close games. The three that stand out this season are at Indiana, at UCONN and at MSG against Pitt. We win two of those 3 and we have either another 2 Quad 1 wins or a Quad 1 win and no bad losses. When you are a team with marginal NCAA tournament hopes you have to capitalize on these opportunities.

Of course it’s disappointing to lose this game. But this is no different than losing to Kansas. Feel like everyone was understanding that its Kansas and a loss to them was not surprising. Villanova is at the same level as Kansas as a program, no shame losing to them at their place. Focus on the next game and hope Posh is healthy.
Thought they looked pretty good for about 10 minutes
Big difference is that they took uncontested outside shots because of superior ball movement while we took way too many contested shots and many times early in shot clock
Not sure what is going to get Champagnie out of this funk. He has made many of these shots (contested or otherwise) in the past. His confidence appears shot as he seems to be avoiding shots/deferring.
I like Wusu and recognize he is still just a soph, but his drives to the basket and settling for long set shots have to be reined in. Last season, as a sub, he surprised teams. This year, as one of the focal points, he isn’t. With that said, I still think he can be a very good contributor. Unfortunately, he is playing with the mind set that we need Champagnie to play with.
I want to continue to see the bench integrated into the game plan - but not necessarily as a wholesale 2nd unit shift.
It’s all about beating Providence now.
