Boy if only Simon could shoot
I agree Paultzman, screw moral victories at this point. It’s too bad about Lovett and Ponds. We just have to hope to get healthy by the Big East Tournament and hope to make run. The regular season is over. Just not enough bodies.
I'm not blaming the team for this loss given the circumstances, but starting 0-2 and likely 0-3 is frustrating. I wish close losses counted on the resume or RPI but they don't. A close loss hurts us the same as a blowout loss on Selection Sunday.
Really bad luck for this team. Hoping we recover soon and get back to winning.

They don't count in those terms, but if the backcourt comes back strong, and we are on the bubble selection sunday, then this game should count for a lot in the eyes of the selection committee. I'm generally not an "eye test" guy (that's especially true regarding SJU, because I know our team so well), but at the very least, this game won't hurt if we're on the bubble.
Saw DePAULS new facility on TV makes ours look 2nd rate

2nd rate? Try third or fourth rate. To the posters always saying we win this game if we had this guy or that guy you are wrong. Who knows what would happen? I'm not saying maybe we don't but you can't say definitively we would. The whole dynamic of the game would be changed. Did you ever think that maybe SH's mindset going in was Oh we should have an easy game tonight? And with either or both our other guards Simon doesn't play the game the way he did and do you really think Owens goes off and scores 19 points he would hardly get to shoot. Kids played with great intensity and hustle the likes we haven't seen to date because they knew we were short handed and it was our only chance to win. They deserve tons of credit and I hope they continue to play with that intensity and hustle even after the return of the laconic Mr. Ponds.
This could be Simon's worst game.
Have to love this guy;

This could be Simon's worst game.
15 point, 10 assists, 8 rebounds, 5 steals. Worst game ever.
