Too risky I would think . Keep him on bench until Marquette .
I like KR right now as our go to guy .

He'll need at least 10-15 minutes vs PC, to get him ready for UM.

It's nice to feel confident about an SJU team. Have not had this feeling since Artest years.

I wasn't alive when artest was here. I've never had this feeling

Did this team bring you back to life?

Barkley, Bootsy, Postell, Grant, Artest! It was pure joy. You missed a great team!

i dont think there is any "trap" game here. Obviously Marq is the key* game for the Resume.... but the Fans... Players and Coach- Providence is the next "key" game... I'm personally more excited for this Saturday than Tuesday cause its the "next" game we get to watch this special squad

maybe it was reincarnation lol

I'm not one to usually be overly optimistic when it comes to this program, in fact I'm usually expecting the worst. That being said, I don't see any way we lose this game

 

[SJU2000alum15]

On Saturday we show English that we are one of the best teams in the NCAA not some one trick pony like he called us after the first game!

 

[paultzman]

Have a Bryce Hopkins imposter or one those heads on a pole behind our bench to annoy English.

I do not believe this team needs any outside motivation, at least I hope they don’t. If they don’t understand the opportunity in front of them, they never will and I for one think they do. I was very impressed and extremely encouraged by their commitment in a blowout to defense the entire second half Tuesday. That’s what is propelling them forward and if they stay the course, defense can make them a legitimate contender. Stay the course and keep building on it.

I thought that team was the toughest team we’ve ever had but this team is closing the gap fast. Still not quite there yet but making the case.

Hmmmm. That's not negative at all. Why is your interweb persona always portrayed as one of immense negativety?

Mean Gene should have two different log ins on this site.

There should be a "Nice Gene" - one for all hours of the day where SJU is not playing

And then the OG Mean Gene - exclusively for game threads

Interesting comparison group – not in terms of skills, but scrappiness. Both teams seemed like a group willing to go to war together.

That team was so fun to watch I went to the Duke game at the garden in 1999 Duke was loaded that year. We ended up losing but took them to double OT, Artest hit a crazy three to tie it in regulation and bootsy scored over 40 points that day.
