Actually a lot of respect for us..Homecourt factor must have something to do with it.
 
We have to penetrate early, hopefully getting Batts in foul trouble. He is definitely foul prone. Wouldn't hurt to feed Sampson down low.
Our press should rattle them, have Cotton give up the ball. If he attempts to drive clog the middle , even double team him.
Like to see more offensive rebounds. Our " Big " three (D'LO, Karr and Sheed ) have to stay out of foul trouble.

Not mine.

Lavin needs some tweaking to his X's and O's, but he does has some, very serviceable coaches on the bench in Whitesell and Keady (although, Keady can't help on gamedays). But some of this X's and O's stuff, when it comes to Lavin, tends to be overplayed. Let's not crown Cooley as being some type of marvel when it comes to X's and O's, either.

Actually Cooley, a great recruiter, is not a very good in game coach. I see no edge there either way. Cotton will play his 40 or so minutes and get his points. Getting Batts off the floor is important, because they lose a lot of points when CD subs for him. Henton is a wild card, either very hot or disappears. Hopefully Tyler Harris has one of his high turnover games like our last win at PC. Like our chances a lot in tight one.
 
FWIW... Out in Arizona and wearing a St. John's T-Shirt and baseball cap.

A guy and his son came up to me and said they were at The Legend's game at CA last year and had a great time.

The fellow is originally from The Bronx (and is a huge Mullin fan) and knew we are playing The Friars tomorrow afternoon.

Said he and his son will be rooting for us.
 
Hey Kevin.... good timing for the trip to Arizona so you missed the big snow storm. Travel safely and enjoy the sun.

Thank you Sir!

Was at a Giants spring training game earlier today. The program had a picture of former St. John's star Joe Panik.

Will be back in time for Saturday night's Championship game. Want to be there when we cut the down net's!!
 
Anybody know which seats at MSG have an obstructed view? I've heard in the 200's from row 15 and up you can't see the full scoreboard. I might even sit in the 400's for $30 to save some money for Friday and Saturday

Let me first state that I like Jordan he will be a very good college player and has next level skills which need to be developed. But I said earlier that with his skills he needs to carry a team thru games Like Garrett did. If he can put some great games together and help us win the BET scouts will truly notice and his stock rises but if just plays ok it will be disappointing
