Providence (MSG), Sat., Feb. 11, 12 Noon, FOX

King played well Brando thinks he's the 3nd coming of Ja Morant or something but he is allowing the game to slow down and I do believe will be a good 4 yr player... Sori got soft mid to late 1st half, really responded in 2nd. Jones played well coming off his loss . Wusu played decent, though if 2 people are in the lane he should be banned from driving. Posh was old Posh. Great to see. Thought Stanley could play more but he was tough when he did. AJ is just getting more confident, becoming our best player really hope he stays to team with Gardener.

We only made one FG in the final seven minutes? Tried our best to cough it up as usual

It was looking like that for a bit, but I don't think we even attempted a shot for the last two and a half minutes. Providence went into the foul game early, and we hit most of the free throws, to keep them at bay.

There are allot of reasons to dislike Coach K, one of which in his last season he made it all about him. If possible, I like Cragg even less from his affiliation with that turd.

 

[Andrew]

Enjoyable game to watch. I was impressed after they overcame losing the 16 point lead they controlled the second half. Defense in the second half was excellent and rebounding much better.

 

[rcatalano]

Was the reason why AC was not in the game an injury or did CMA just not play him?

 

[rcatalano]

Game should not have been this close! Providence had 20 offensive rebounds to our 7
crazy!!

Even though they are Freshman , you have to question why CMA had taken so long to wake up to giving Storr and King much more PT . And , let’s not harp on their alleged Defensive deficiencies . Not using them against the OOC cupcakes was his blunder

King does not have defensive deficiencies. He is a good defender.

I don’t think he’s a bad kid. In fact my nephew played a little AAU with him. Said he was a nice kid. I just don’t think he’s a very good or smart team player. And not a good fit for team or Posh.

My nephew played with him. He isn’t a bad kid and I knew there would be some maintenance but didn’t expect what we got this year.

 

[Knight]

King looks exceptionally quick.

Photo op with a guy that beat us like a drum. Our AD needs to study his current schools history.

He’s a Hall of Famer, it’s fine. He beat a lot of teams like a drum, not just us.

That's too much, but also keep in mind, they missed 14 more shots than we did, so more offensive rebounds to get.

Ratface K has a long history of propping up loser coaches that he likes/benefits from being there. I'm also a Wake Forest fan, and he would always lather praise on Danny Manning and Jeff Bzdelik, two of the worst hires in CBB history.

True, just not sure he’s taking team photos with them.

Would be like David Ortiz at the center of a Yankees team photo.

Curbelo was too talented a player not to bring in but Posh just can’t produce offensively when playing the two guard and playing both Curbelo and Posh at the same time prevented Storr from getting minutes in the early season and is a major reason the season went into the toilet.
The SJU roster is filled with athletic ball players with limited offensive skills so Storr just stands out when he is on the court. Soriano has been great in the paint and even King has shown offensive potential but the rest of the roster is limited offensively. Anderson’s explanation of Storr not being ready defensively in the OOC part of the schedule to merit minutes and get ready for the big east schedule just doesn’t cut it.
Storr isn’t an all American but for a roster like SJUs he can be a savior.

 

[Johnny Rapper]

Complete phony. I mean, in addition to everything else, what in the world would make K think that CMA was a "home run hire" here?

That’s the point, he never really did and dopey Cragg bought into it.

I did say “ alleged “ deficiencies . I never saw awful defense from Storr but , whatever they” may” be , his offense more than offsets it ..

Big difference. Boston is a true rival of the Yankees, we were never a true rival of Duke.

2 straight years it took half the season for Anderson to realize who one of his best 3 players was.
