does that make us miagido?
Providence (MSG), Wed., Jan. 10, 6:30p, FS-1
- Thread starter Knight
- Start date
Right. Almost.
what I liked about last night's crowd was that there were many groups of younger fans in their 20's and early 30's. Likely alumni who decided to go out in groups and have a good weeknight outing after work.

Nice gritty win, but this is a growing win against a good team. We did not play our best ball but got the W. In fairness, Carter is a great player and Providence is a good team but we have to make adjustments if someone is on that much fire. Would have liked them to take some charges against him and use his aggression against him. Decent game from the guards, but game ball goes to Soriano. Tough player, logged alot of minutes and got many rebounds for us in addition to his usual scoring. I don't think that "foul" against Carter that led to the 3 foul shots was legit. Can't fault him- looked phantom from my seats. Also have to be more careful with the ball, too many silly turnovers from team bad passes.
With that being said, conditioning while better than beginning of season still needs to improve. We got tired at end and it showed with the foul shots. Brady started the game nice then twisted his ankle. He is still learning the "pressure concept" and will only get better and more adjusted to it. Not a surprise from a freshman. If he puts on some weight too will help him even get better for his all-around game.
@ Creighton and @ Seton Hall will be tough games. We either split or lose both. I don't see us winning both games.
Also Garden seemed to have more people last night but too many Providence fans. Kinda surprised at that.

and jam packed...thankfully with happy St. Johns fans.
Team looked exhausted midway through the second
Your only saving grace was that you stood next to me!
Felt so bad it was so crowded you couldn't open that beer in your pocket for 30 minutes

Good theory but, Dunlap is only a 60 percent or so foul shooter . Why have him in the game at all , with limp like Chester on Gunsmoke ?
Jenkins , Dingle , would have been better choices at that stage of game .
Even Soriano and Luis , usually reliable missed 4-5 free throws with game on the line . Not good .

They have historically been the most obnoxious fans from my experience through many decades of going to games. Kranmars can back up my stories of the fights we used to get into when they showed their lack of class at MSG back in the day. Let us not forget that this is the fan base that held up signs saying "Patrick Ewing Can't Read This" when they played G-town. CLASS LESS bunch of clowns.
IMHO after 30+ years of attending the Big East Tournament (not to mention the regular season games) it has become apparent that every fan base has a distinct personality. It is like the different clans of hobbits, you can always tell a Took from a Brandybuck or a Bracegirdle.
Villlanova: squeaky clean preppy kids who are either majoring in finance, are in finance, or have a family member in finance.
Georgetown: Also preppy kids, but smarter and more diverse than the Nova crowd. Remember Ewing as a player even if born after 2000
Providence: Angry Southies who weren't smart enough to get into Nova or Georgetown and have a UConn inferiority complex. Routinely drunk and obnoxious. Worst fans in the league ... except for UConn, of course.
SJU: Geriatric Italian-Americans from Queens, their offspring, and kids who go to school with their offspring. Still think SJU is a national powerhouse. Delusional, basically.
Seton Hall: The New Jersey version of Providence.
Creighton: Mormons, basically. Honestly my favorite fans in the league, they're impossible to hate.
Marquette: Midwest Nice versions of Nova kids
Xavier: Older Midwest folks who love their team, hate Cincinnati, and know absolutely nothing about basketball.
UConn: No description needed, but "drunk hicks from the sticks who are hoops nouveau riche" works
DePaul: A mythical beast, I've never met a DePaul fan. At least not that I know of.
Butler: White (all of them, and VERY white), polite, preppy Midwest basketball lifers.
Wow dead on
That was awesome & fun LMF
We can’t have it both ways. We complain that the old SJU fans sit on their hands all game and the Prov., Conn., Syr etc. fans of a younger generation stand up and cheer and act totally obnoxious.
We need more of those younger obnoxious fans.

good to see you in here gman hope you are doing well
Agree with every thing you said except , no good passing PG’s since Cook?
Ponds wasn’t a PG either but , managed to get the ball to Clark and Simon 30 plus times a game . Often with no look passes .
Of course , the 2 of them invariably missed 20 of those shots .
Ponds , basically had to do it all for Mullin teams . Figgy and Heron helped some on the scoring side . Heron was injured a lot .
Many posters didn’t realize how great a Player , Shamorie was for the 3 years he was here .
