We don't have any hope for the NCAA's. Our season is done. Let's hope that we can attract some transfers that will take us to the NCAA's next year.Paultzman post=451823 said:
Creighton was the critical game and the team didn’t show up.

Zach is suggesting a smaller lineup, I'd actually like to see them go bigger. Defensive rebounding has been the biggest issue I've seen. There's been countless times where they'll play good defense and then not get the defensive rebound and other team will just kick out and get an open 3, or they'll foul on the team trying to get the put back because they were out of position.Paultzman post=451823 said:
Lineup I'd like to see start the game is...
Posh
Wusu
Champ
Wheeler
Nyiwe
Bench
Smith
Mathis
Coburn
Stanley
Soriano
At this point, I have no idea why CMA is still starting with Soriano he's given almost nothing the past 2 games as the starting center, Nyiwe can give those stats he's given, except he's better on his rotations on defense, which is what they really need right now. Let Stanley come off the bench and play both 4 and 5 spot. And just have Soriano and Nyiwe getting spot minutes. Stanley and Wheeler should be out there the majority of the time at the 4 and 5.

Anyone mentioning St Johns and the NCAA tourney in the same sentence is delusional. Time to face reality. We are a bottom level big east team. The thought that we are some really good team who is just playing bad right now is also delusional. Be prepared to be whupped today. This is an angry seton hall team who has waaaaay more talent then we do.Paultzman post=451823 said:
Personally hate the matchup for us.
-Size on the inside to make it tough for us on the glass and finishing around the basket.
- two small guards who love to hoist it up from 3 and are capable of making a hand full.
- Cale and Rhoden are physical wings who are both really good defenders and will give champ different looks all game. Not to mention Yetna, Jackson and Samuels who bring significant size and athleticism to the table at the 4.
- Williard playing the team he wants to beat most, off a disappointing and contentious finish, with a full week to prepare for 2 games.
Its gonna take a really good performance from our guys to win this one today. Can we get Ike in foul trouble? We can’t beat this team if we are forced to take jumpers all game. Fully capable of pulling it off it but I wouldn’t bet on it.

Glad Zach's tone in the article is more urgent. And looking for accountability from top to bottom on a disappointing season so far.
You're going to need a 6 pack on the train and then keep drinking when you get to MSG. LOLipd200 post=451864 said:
