(POST GAME) Xavier (MSG), Mon. Feb. 17, 6:30pm, FS-1 / 970AM

[quote="SJUFAN2" post=377791][quote="Moose" post=377776]Am I happy? Absolutely not. Are there things I've seen that infuriate me? Absolutely.

That all being said its kind of crazy we are even where we are at this point. As my friend Logen points out how stats are overrated and on the surface you look at LJ and Heron and don't see a whole lot of regression in the big stats. LJ is actually averaging more pts than last year albeit slightly 14.6 to 14.4. However his shooting % is absymal compared to last year dropping from 51% to 38%. From 3 he's the same.

Heron averaged 1 ppg less than year. But again his % dropped from 44% to 38% and from 3 a slight drop from 40% to 38%.

Point being prior to the year they were both picked 2nd team BE so among the top 10-12 players in the League. I think we all expected they would step up and provide more (fans and coaches). But meanwhile they have proven to be Robin's and not Batman's. The fact that 2 Top 10-12 players in the League have underperformed like they have combined with 2 scholarship players not playing (Steere and McGriff) and in reality CMA having just 1 true HS recruit in Julian is kind of crazy all being considered.

I still have concerns about next year. I still wonder about many of the parts on the team and if they make sense moving forward. And I'm not out of line for that thinking as they are all pretty much from a previous regime. Caraher plays because there isn't many other options. We have 12 of 13 ships used. As mentioned Steere and McGriff aren't playing. Sears is barely playing. And to be fair Roberts is barely playing after the first TV timeout.

A lot needs to happen this spring. 4 solid pieces coming in I think. We still need 2 more at minimum.[/quote]

Good post moose.

That really is the problem on this team. No "Batman", too many "Robin's". It's really not an issue when we are running and gunning on offense for 75% of the game. But down the stretch of close games, when it becomes a half court game, we don't have the pieces to compete. No legit inside scoring threat. Our lead guard isn't a threat to shoot from 3 so it's harder for him to breakdown a defense late in games when they pack in the D. Our top scoring option can't beat anyone off the dribble when it matters, and settles for 28 foot 3's and 18 foot,1 handed floaters.

Next year at this time you'll have many more options. You'll have a PG in Posh who will force teams to defend him on the perimeter. Cole will pull the defense out to defend him as well. That will change our half court equation dramatically.[/quote]

Yes, we'll have more options...more bodies... Still, there isn't anyone coming in who can put the whole team on his shoulders in crunch time. That's what 4+ and 5 star players do. I'll hope for a miracle as will the rest of us.

Speaking in absolutes again, eh? How do you know what Alexander and Cole are or aren't capable of doing? We're also not done recruiting, either.

Watched him practice he did not miss any 3 point shots in practice but he never got to take a 3 point shot during the game. Why wont they let him shoot when LJ has been horrendous?

You do realize practice is different than a game right? I would hope nobody here has to explain the difference in urgency.

There should be some roster attrition after this season, which often happens when a new coach is hired. There is some "dead wood" on this roster - guys who aren't Big East caliber players or guys who don't fit CMA's system of play. I would expect some turnover after this season (Steere, Sears, possibly Caraher, etc).

On the bright side, The Duke and Champagnie have greatly improved over the course of the year and should be rotation players for the next year. Williams and Roberts (if he gains weight and strength) could be useful role players as well. We need to have faith in CMA and hope that his first real recruiting class will pay dividends.

[quote="Jack Williams" post=377765][quote="SJU61982" post=377760]One thing about Dunn missing the 1-and-1. Even if he makes both, it's still a 3 point game. I was so sure that we were going to lose long before that, that even if he made both, I was certain, Xavier would hit the three to tie. Again, not in a pessimistic kind of way, more like you just know that the Patriots are going to win the AFC East every year.

Again, I know it's premature to ask for a coaching change (I'm not advocating for one), but I also don't think you can ask the fans to be patient. We fired Lavin after 41 wins in 2 years (not great, but not bad). That, to me, was a sign that the time for patience was over (I was against that move at the time, and said so on here). Mullin's name bought him a few years, but whoever the new coach was had to know that he was going to face scrutiny in year 1. I'm sure that helped turn a lot of candidates off from this job (there were other reasons too, obviously).

Also, as an aside, the "no talent" thing would carry a lot more weight if:

1. Georgetown were not doing more with less talent then even we have

and:

2. We were in close games for around 30 minutes or so, then fade, and lose by 10-15 points.

The time for taking bows for close losses is over. Just win!!!!!![/quote]

Come on, man. This is also ridiculous. Do you remember how bad Mullin’s first year was? Seriously do you. It was worse than this year by a country mile. But everyone agreed that he deserved time to build the roster and program his way.

Why do you think Mike A doesn’t deserve the same?

Saying the “time for patience is over” because we fired Lavin, frankly makes zero sense.

because you cherry picked how many games Lavin won his last two years, you are leaving out a shit ton of context involving why Lavin actually got fired. He underachieved with a real real talented team his second to last year. His results on the recruiting trail were dipping and from a lot of accounts he was kind of burnt out and ready to go back to broadcasting once that group of seniors graduated.

Besides, all of this is irrelevant to the real point here: Mike A does deserve time to build the program and team his way.

Let me write something in all caps because I think it’s a point that needs to be remembered by many: WHAT HAPPENED WITH PAST ST JOHNS COACHES IS NOT MIKE A’S FAULT AND HE SHOULD NOT BE RUSHED OUT THE DOOR BECAUSE ST JOHNS FANS ARE EMOTIONAL AND TIRED OF LOSING FOR THE BETTER PART OF 20 YEARS.

I mean goddamn. We should staple the phrase “Rome wasn’t built in a day” at the top of this website. Cause it seems to me that some people wanna just keep shuffling coaches in and out every year until someone magically wins. In actuality, coaches need time to recruit and build a roster and program.[/quote]

Rome wasnt built in a day? How about 20 yrs? Dont you sense something is wrong with how they make decisions in this program? I said it at the time CMA was hired. They should have hired Pitino and rescue him from Europe. I personally believe it was because the Vincentians viewed him as immoral from when he had sex with that woman in the restaurant years back. Didnt they ever hear of forgiveness and confession? It is all bull they take our money every year. Had the gall to raise prices. But dont do what needs to be done to fix this broken program.

Honestly, I can't recall the last time I've witnessed a player shoot so many air balls in a season. If they aren't air balls, the shots are falling short and barely hitting or grazing the rim.

I'm watching on TV and can immediately tell the shot is gonna fall short. Even on the ones he converts, it looks like they're falling short which he inevitably swishes clean through the net.

This is why I've said when we have the half court game at the end DC we need caraher on the floor and we need to give him a shot
 
[quote="Duke of Earlington" post=377675]Free theows!!!! Both dunn and earlington missed front ends of a one and one down the stretch. Hit those and the game is over.

Very fun game to watch though. We are going to be a force in the big east soon. Its coming.[/quote]

At this point I think it would be a leap to assume we will even be a top half Big East team let alone a "force" in it. Just being honest.
 
They shot .355 for the game. That includes all the easy baskets that were created with turnovers. What did they shoot in the half court, could it even have been 20%? Over and over I sit at games and watch guys square up to hit easy open looks - and miss. If this team was going to win games I figured Heron and Figueroa would have to score. Heron is now gone and was injured/ineffective for the entire conference season. Figueroa has been inconsistent and is also getting a ton of defensive attention thrust on him.

It all adds up to a bad team. Good kids, play hard, not much overall talent. Bad teams lose a lot of close games because bad teams lose a lot of games. Because they are not very good. The most glaring deficiencies are easy to see. Not one big man who can post up and make a team guard him. No real point guard. With Heron gone no consistent perimeter shooters. Add that up and you get .355. And a lot of losses.

I still remember the total garbage games I sat through at Carnesecca and MSG last year. In the Providence, Georgetown, Xavier, and DePaul games the team didn't even compete and completely rolled over. So sure, I rather they win, and law of averages you would hope for a few of these but I have a lot of respect for this group. They keep losing tough games and coming back and fighting and somehow staying in games with teams that are flat out better than them. Good for them, and I hope they can somehow steal a game or two before the season ends as it would be nice for the kids. And us!

Excellent post Moose. While I, like others, am concerned about our consistent inability to finish in BE play and disappointed in the very disappointing seasons Figgy & Heron have given us, I am optimistic going forward. Unless you are a blue blood a la Duke, Kansas etc. and can just reel in the five stars, the mark of successful basketball programs is a culture of hard work and team first play (see Villanova & Gonzaga as good examples). I see that culture of hard work and discipline along with a feeling of family shining through with this staff; not something that stood out with either Lavin or Mullin tenures. Generally hard work and discipline brings some level of success given a little time. Have to believe staff will get a second shooter and another big to share time with Roberts next year.
 
Okay.....and with the "we should have hired Pitino" comment, I am officially moving on from this post game thread.
 
[quote="JohnnyFan" post=377819]Okay.....and with the "we should have hired Pitino" comment, I am officially moving on from this post game thread.[/quote]

I've been critical of Anderson, but Pitino was not attainable, IMO.

Once he made that comment about the Southern District Court having to apologize to him, I knew that he was not an option. That was either a ploy for a lot more money then we could afford, or he meant it, in which case, that wasn't happening. Courts have a tough time apologizing to wrongly convicted murders, who are cleared on DNA evidence, after they've served 20 years. They're certainly not going to apologize to a college basketball coach.

Someone on here (it might have been Moose) mentioned that most of Caraher's shots have been short. I think that has been the case, as well. My guess, is that he was a decent three point shooter at Houston Baptist, but that his shot does not extend to the new distance.

Tell San Diego State about "grading experts."
Most recruitniks do not grade JUCO players anyhow. I will confidently say Vince Cole would be considered a 4-star player if most outlets graded JUCO players. Cole can't shoot? Based on what?

Obviously, you don't know or aren't aware to what a consummate or true lead guard can do in re: a player like Alexander. He was considered a top 70 player about a year or so ago. So, I'm gonna assume the ability is still there and can be honed and harnessed with our coaching staff. We're also not done recruiting as I mentioned earlier.

If your expectations are low, that's fine and reasonable. But don't use your suppositions to build faulty logic.

I agree, MJ. The right mix of 3 and 4 star guys, who stick around for awhile, can yield results. That's basically how Jay Wright built things at Villanova. I think he even mentioned once that he didn't want 5 starts, but wanted to get old, and stay old.

His first 5 star was Brunson, and he lucked into that. Brunson was headed to Temple, but his father's legal situation changed things. The next one he got was Quinerly, and he and Wright mixed like oil and water.

It's obvious that Anderson is looking for style fits first, then uses talent as the next barometer. If he's as married to his system as people claim he is, then that is the way to go, especially if he's a man of integrity (which he appears to be), and won't get sleazy on the recruiting trail.

I've been critical of Anderson for some things this year, but his recruiting strategy is not one of them.

Actually he was not, scored mostly on drives & post ups which reflects the competition level there. Nice, hard working kid but the dead eye shooter assessment was a myth.
 
We have a coach and a system that has put us in a position to win almost every game this year. For that, I am beyond happy.

The young guys - Champagnie, Earlington, Roberts, Williams - are getting a great education on the slim margin between victory and defeat that will only help them.

The future is bright.
