Unfair situation for Massielo to be judged. Even coach pitino has lost by 20 on the road. With his own team.

This is very true, but the time will come eventually when we'll need a successor to Pitino and whenever Masiello's name comes in that people will point to this game

 

[MJDinkins]

And to think two games ago someone suggested he would be a lottery pick...he is barely an NBA player.

He's not an NBA-level player even when he's playing well.

Zuby much better then Soriano tonight

Ironically, turnovers are even in this game. We just bunched ours into a short stretch that led to the killer run.

Let's keep some perspective here. This team, coaches and program can't be judged at all by this game, even if it had as an awful stretch of basketball over 30 minutes as I can remember.

 

[Roamer]

A few takeaways from this game for me:

1) Talk is cheap. They can talk about being tougher all they want but they got completely outworked in every sense of the word today. This team is soft and the softest player didn't even play today.

2) Soriano needs to get out of this funk quick. He went through something similar last season in the middle of Big East play and eventually picked up his play again. Need him bigtime on Saturday. Zuby is earning more minutes at his expense and the difference between them on the defensive end is night and day.

3) Wilcher can't play at this level yet. Kind of already knew that but tonight really proved that. He's noticeably a boy amongst men.

4) Rick will never take a Covid test again and will tell anybody recommending he isolate for 5 days to shove it, as he should.

Soriano is soft for a center. He gets out bullied and out powered a lot. WTF happened in the first half? I only was able to catch second half. This is some ugly bball.

 

[Silly Donovan]

No more excuses for Soriano…. Three lousy games in a row

There's a sign on the sideline that says "call 877-55-FRAUD". Apropos.

A lot of sju fans calling for toughness tonight never wanted to see that kid wear an SJU jersey.

I'm not concerned this game will derail our season. Only "knee jerks" will attempt to use this game to extrapolate the remainder of the season.

I still expect us to win 12 conference games. I'm just disappointed how we fared tonight.

 

[redstorm to redmen]

This game is the most ugly game I have ever seen. Maybe, Redmen can't recover this ugly performance for a time being.

 

[paultzman]

Defend MSG v Marquette w Rick back is my only thought, put this beating behind us. Later guys!

And if we do, this would be a good week! Gotta remember we’re the same team that was a basket away from a win at both uconn and creighton.

Knew that was coming Mase lol Fair comment

 

[Rhythm]

Does Dingle halve covid?

 

[Silly Donovan]

This is going to be a hard game to come back from.

 

[Bobby123]

We cannot press anymore because we cannot play D without fouling We are over the limit with 12 minutes left in every half.
Until we fix that - play a zone

Lose to Marquette and it’s fair to be concerned

 

[Knight]

Some of these players giving me buyer’s remorse.

He's not an NBA-level player even when he's playing well.

I said this last year, he is the type of player that will be an MVP in the Israeli league
