A win is a win. Was Khadary cramping at the end?

More like crapping! Was not our money player tonight.
Smith was the most important player in this game. Everyone else was a step slow.....especially on defense.
Speaking of crappy play, Scott not producing so Glover needs some of his minutes.

I don’t need advice from you. I just watched a horrific performance and while the win was nice, I look at the whole picture and I feel there were more issues then missed foul shots. The constant changing line ups is one of many issues.

I also believe that going to Luis was the right move. He took it to the hole while others were missing wild three pointers. While he screwed up at the line, he kept the team in the game at the end. Clearly there are many who don’t understand the game.

Cranky Don, you aren’t looking at the full picture. You’re being completely negative because you don’t respect Providence as an opponent and think we should’ve been able to roll past them.

Big East play is hard. It was our first true road game of the season. Kadary was nearly invisible and clearly not 100%. Providence was lights out from 3 in the first half. Our defense wasn’t good in the first half either.

But guess what? We picked up our defense and our effort in the second half and we gritted out a win. We got to nearly every loose ball down the stretch. We lost control of momentum several times, but clawed back. Everyone here knows this team has many things to work out. A clear work in progress. But to make the dance we need to win as many BE games as possible and we just nabbed a road win in a game where we were 11-26 from the line. I’m sorry but I just think bombarding the board with negative post after negative post after that win has nothing to do with the teams issues, and everything to do with you.

Have a blessed night

Aaron Scott had 3 steals & a few rebounds, but his scoring drought continues. Have to get him going to regain confidence. Maybe team should give him one game Delaware suspension ala Smith 😇

I believe in Scott. I think he turns it around with his shooting. I think the more games we win , confidence grows and the pressure lessens just a little. There are high expectations for this team and I think the guys are feeling it. I think if we can just get ourselves a little bit of breathing room this team will really start to take off.

Win is a win but , we almost blew 5 point lead in last few minutes , which isn’t going to cut it against UCONN or Marquette or Xavier .
Yes , it was great Zuby hit the last 2nd shot but , if he didn’t and we lost in OT , he would be pilloried for 5-12 from the line . Luis 6 -11 not much better .

There is something seriously wrong with our Million dollar player not doing anything in crunch time . Candidly he’s been less than advertised .
Nevertheless , a great comeback but ……

Wild that Carl Banks pays attention to SJU hoops.

This afternoon I was flipping through YouTube and found an old Bob Hope All American special. It was for the 1983 season. Players included Banks (Michigan State), Reggie White, Steve Young, Bo Jackson. Pretty talented group I’d say.

Great point. yukon went to O/T in Hartford against a ''down'' Xavier team who was missing Freemantle. It's the Big East. Gonna happen again.
