The mid major excuse doesn’t fly. There are dozens of firmer mid major kids flourishing in high major settings. Just not ours.

Yes, but that's usually one (or two) mid-major transfer(s) surrounded by high major talents. Our team is pretty much all upper mid-major level players.

At least ST John’s is consistent. How many things in your life can you virtually guarantee will always do the same thing.

good thing Sunday's game is at UBS and not on campus

Under 4

3 made baskets

The crazy thing is that our half-court defense was actually pretty good. We caused a few shot clock violations, shut down Carter. Soriano killed us against Odoro.

But the thing that really hurt us was the transition defense. Just pitiful hustle and attention to detail. If not for that, we would've won this game.

 

[Silly Donovan]

We all hammered Anderson when we lost so many close games. So now what?

Jenkins taking and missing the last shot in a close game is more consistent than taxes.

Zuby was hampered by foul trouble but I appreciated his effort as well

Should continue to start and learn not to reach

 

[guinness77]

Mets, Jets, Isles, Johnnies.

WHAT A YEAR!!

9 is far more likely than 11 at this point

We'll sweep Georgetown and DePaul, and we'll beat Seton Hall on Sunday. We may split with Butler and Creighton.

 

[Larry Wright]

I’m cringing just thinking about what Pitino’s press conference will say

Posh not walking through that door. Storr not walking through that door. Jones not walking through that door.

Most disappointing season since when?

We all hammered Anderson when we lost so many close games. So now what?

There were more 20 point blowouts than close games. You should really back away from your keyboard.

I don’t understand how we allow Oduro to do that to us? He’s a good player but barbecue chicken times 100 in the second half. Absolutely embarrassed us

Don’t like to talk refs but I thought both calls on Eijofor to start the half were phantom calls; Oduro fell into him on the rebounding one, Eijofor did not knock him down. And the call on the Carter drive was worse, no contact to speak of but Carter took a dive and the ref took the bait. Big impact on the game getting him to the bench.

Hope you're right but too optimistic for me. I think it's more likely we lose in DC than it is we take 2 of SHU/@Butler/Creighton

 

[Marillac2]

He is the least of their problems

Not in the last minute of close games. Nobody else ever gets a shot. How the hell does this kid have ANY confidence after missing so many last second shots?

Oduro pulled Zuby arm…Pitino was pissed on that one

How about 3 seconds in lane before sorianos 5th.

 

[Notanalum]

25 games in and we have no idea what we’re gonna get out 3/5 of the starters and the bench.

 

[Money]

Posh not walking through that door. Storr not walking through that door. Jones not walking through that door.

Thanks for pointing out the positives... At least we have that to be thankful for!

We're not losing to Georgetown. I think Seton Hall at home on Sunday is a win as I believe we're better (believe it or not). I see 11 wins and a win in the conference tournament.
