This isnt the NBA: Lavin recruited and coaches these kids...this is ultimately his fault and the extension looks like a joke.

Any "big-time" program would fire lavin after this season

I was waiting for you to,post something like this. No program would fire Lavin after this season.

His fault? Really?

So u want to blame the players? Ok...well, who brought them here?

In sports, when teams underachieve, who gets fired? The GM and/or coach. And here, lavin is both.

For crying out loud Mike, get real. Lavin's not on the floor missing ft's, playing poor defense and missing chippies. Your hatred of him goes beyond all reason. I believe even if we had gone to the Final Four, you'd still want him out.

Game symbolic of entire season. Dug ourselves too deep a whole to come back from.

We basically said the same thing. lol

Yeah I know, but I didn't see Paultz's until after I posted mine. But as always, I appreciate your being the self anointed monitor of spelling, repetitiveness and all things grammar related. Keep up the good work.

Thinking . WOW Hall has a good chance to make the finals

 

[davidcain]

When they went to the zone we went ice cold Lavin has to start recruit some skill players not just long freakish athltes who cant shoot ands are average basketball players

Won 500 dollars on PC to protect against utter disappointment. Felt if we won this we'd be dancing but we haven't performed under pressure at all this season. Look at the Xavier game two weeks ago. We've lacked an identity all year long and it showed against any opponent worth their salt.

Put it towards the buyout

 

[Amaseinyourface]

After Dlo's banked three with 3 seconds left, I thought the ball went out of bounds off of cottons hands. It was very close. Why didnt the reffs review it? They didnt even discuss it. Ive seen it countless times this year but this time, when we really needed it, its like no such rule even existed.

 

[Marillac]

Just a gutless performance for 35 minutes outside of Sanchez, Harrison, and Jordan. They got thrown around. What is the deal with sitting Obekpa all game when we are getting destroyed on the glass? Really don't want that fourth foul, huh?

I hope Sir Pointless transfers tomorrow.
Lavin can talk about elbowing guys in the "chicklets" all he wants...he has a bunch of kids that should be wearin tootoos. He places no emphasis on rebounding the ball on the offensive side and we'll never be legit until he does. Maybe that is why his other talented teams always underwhwelmed.

They better deny the NIT invite...it's a disgrace.

Outscored them 22-6 while they were in that zone.

Anybody see Sir Dom the last part of this season? Wow.. Lost soul.. Give Jordon lot's of kudos for the effort. Rest of the team not so much..

NIT bound. It is what it is. No recruits next year as of now - kinda disappointing season.. Lavin outcoached today.

I will beat MJD to this; easy to say but how was he outcoached? We played hard 5 minutes out of 40. Now the copout is they are his players, etc......but this game was on the players. You LIVE to play in games like this and to play indifferently for most of the game is just something I can't understand.

As the commercial says, it's not complicated. It's because they won.

Time for propaganda machine to rest please;

@StJohnsBBall: #SJUBB now at 20-12 with a 10-8 league record that tied for third in the @BIGEAST. This team will have a postseason. Up to committee now.

Exactly! They played with some gumption during a brief spurt in the first half (when they hit 6 consecutive shots and took a 7-point lead) and during the last 5 minutes of the game. If Sampson had some more arse, then we could very, well be on here rejoicing talking about how great the kids fought and came back for a win.

Like Logen stated, you "LIVE" to play in these kinda games. I saw a nonchalant group with the exception of a handful of minutes.

Really? Just because a team wins, that winning coach has out coached the losing coach? Interesting. I'd never heard that before. :blink:

Where did that come from? Obviously, you took my response the wrong way.

Gumption? really MJ? now you're starting to sound like lavin

Season is over for me! Fuck the NIT,

Hes not on the floor but a coach is judged on wins and losses..Im not saying he should get fired like the other poster but to be fair Lavin so far has not done a great job here at all and its mroe then fair if people want to quesiton wheter he can get it done here

It's not really outcoaching, but Cooley's guys played hard, inspired basketball. Our guys played like a bunch of princesses. Second chance points says it all.
