I was busy tonight. Come home and turned it on in the middle of the 2nd half and they were down 28pnts. I was saying wtf is this crap, and to freaking SHU? Turned it off after 5seconds.
Not blaming this on Mullin(this shitty season is on Lavin.), but damn after Syracuse, tell me if anyone here thought it would be this bad.
I won't be watching the Nova game, and to those who go to MSG to watch that massacre and hear all those Nova fans having a great ole dandy time there. You're much better fans then I am.
I couldn't bare it.
But under Mullin, our time is coming. BELIEVE THAT

The title of the article is wrong
How can beating this year's SJU team boost anyone's NCAA tourney hopes?
No it doesn't. In the first place, he recruited them and hyped each of them as the best player he's ever had do Y since Z. So either he was an incompetent recruiter or a liar, take your pick, And in the second place if he had in fact taught them anything about basketball and given them the opportunity to use what he'd taught them they'd be completely different players now. What you are seeing now is the result of three years of neglect from Steve Lavin, not three years of wise decisions. Both Jones and Balamou have the physical tools to be serviceable players, they just had the misfortune to be coached by a buffoon. Alibegowitch shouldn't have played last year but only because most freshmen should never play ever.

The only way we can win a game is if Mussini goes off, and DJ too. With Mussini, he is up against it every game as he is guarded by, and has to defend, bigger, stronger more athletic players. Don't know if we have another win in us, but I hope for the team's sake that they pull a rabbit out of a hat before we get shut out in the conference.

Realistically, this season is not what the Program will become, when the rebuilding starts to bring in more talent next year.
This season is entirely on Lavin and his failure to recruit and enroll over his entire tenure here at St John's. He did bring in a good, not great initial group but, really failed the last 2 years. Obepka and Jordan probably should never have been recruited anyway as they obviously had issues beyond the BB court. They quit on the School, and, so be it. Jordan was a headcase and malcontent his entire time here and , while we miss his talent on the Court , his attitude isn't missed. Sure, we could maybe have a few more Wins if they both stayed but, would it have been worth it, in the long run?
Every time I see Lavin on Tv, I wish he would say, He failed at his job here., which is why he is on Fox Sports this season. But, that isn't likely to happen.
Clearly, we do not have the Talent to be Competitive this year and acceptance of that fact, while not soothing the anguish of watching play, has to be tempered against what the future holds.
Yes, it was hard last night watching 2 Brooklyn kids, Whitehead and Carrington, play for Seton Hall, I was thinking Lavin should have gotten 1 of the 2 at least. But, his effort wasn't there in keeping kids here. NYC HS Coaches have confirmed his disdain for local kids.
So, while this YEAR has been a disaster, better days are ahead.

During the Syracuse game there was an interview in which Mullin gave Lou credit for Mussini's recruitment. When they cut back to the studio Lavin was quick to credit himself, because he's so, you know, classy. I didn't hear him take credit for Mussini's showing last night, or for Alibeowith's zero point performance, or Balamou's 1 for 8 from the floor. Because the good things are always his personal accomplishments and the bad things are never his fault.
