(PRE-GAME) @Marquette, Sat., Mar. 5, 9p, FS-1

Is this game on the same time as the Duke No Carolina game? 
think we will outdraw Duke game?  Lol
Coach K recommended Anderson. They shouldn't have trusted him.                     So did Jeff Capel who will be fired at Pitt .

I think Coburn and Smith are both primarily offensive players.    Both can take the ball to the hoop, but their real value is in 3 point shooting which spreads the defense.   As with most shooters, both are streaky, so whoever is hot plays more.    Pinzon warrants time, and I would suggest that when Posh isn't on the floor, Pinzon should be running the show. 

BTW, Coburn has hops and lots of it.

Let's hope that our guys bring their A game with them, and play with a confidence where they won't be denied a W.

Coburn's leaping ability is so impressive.

St. John's is a 4.5 point underdog tomorrow against Marquette

If we score the first 5 points of the game are we favored from that point forwarD?

There should not be 1 minute played tonight where Coburn, Pinzon and Smith are all on the bench at the same time.  That means there is a terrible shooting lineup out there.

A minimum of 1 of those 3 guys needs to be on the floor for the full 40 minutes.

If we do that, we will win tonight.

Smith has been closer to bad from 3 than good this year. Wusu has shot a significantly better % snd has made more than him and Pinzon combined.

Teams dont guard wusu out there.  Teams cover smith out there.

Thats what matters. We need spacing so champy can go to work.

I think Pinzon’s unavailability combined with Anderson’s inconsistent use of Smith & Coburn has been a bigger than we realized contributing factor to the team’s struggles.

I’m probably delusional but I’m hoping and thinking a win tonight and Wednesday puts us in contention. 

 

[NCJohnnie]

Just looking forward to a good game (hopefully I can stay up lol). As with so many Big East, we can definitely win if we play well, but...

Marquette not a good rebounding team, looking for our guys to hit the offensive boards and (big ask) limit their second shot opportunities.

 

[MainMan]

Am I the only one who thinks we’re going to get our asses handed to us?

If you’re referring to the NIT then I agree with you

I agree about the NIT. That should do it but if we lose today, we will have to beat DePaul and Nova.

One game at a time and no, I don't think we are going to get beaten badly tonight. We may lose, but will be pretty surprised if we don't give a good account of ourselves.

Xavier-Georgetown game running late. Our game will either be delayed or we will start on the Fox Sports App.

Coburn starting!!!!
