SJU vs Pitt Game Thread

The loss of Branch was tough. Our offense has a completely different flow with him on the court.
 
In airport trying to follow game through sportsmobil app and this blog. Did Branch make a 2nd appearance?
 
For those of us saying we are on par with Nova, I think it would be smart to refrain from repeating that. Nova is not only better than us...they are head and shoulders above us. I have zero faith in SJ in these big must win games. Another blowout...these are becoming routine and it makes me feel like we are DePaul because we don't even challenge Pitt/G'Town/L'Ville/Cuse. Pitt is good but they are not world beaters at #20. They are to be had at home. Unfortunately things stay the same as they have been this past decade...Pitt=good and SJ=bad. Now do you guys from our final four run see why I am the way I am? All I know for my teams is failure. Only when they do something will I believe.

NIT BABY DO YOU THINK WE WILL MAKE FINAL FOUR IN NIT
 
Coming in to today we were looking to win 2 out of the last 4 and hoped to pick up a few wins in the BE tourny. Now we've got to win 2 out of the last 3 and pick up a few wins in the BE tourny. A long shot yes, but not out of the realm of possibility. We need Branch back.
 
nobody here will talk about tourney but Lunardi etc will.
This win was critical and it wasn;t close. 3 in a row from here and it still would be tough.
Watching Pitt today, I still don't think they are that good, game was close going into early
2nd half but Woodall killed them and they shot 42 percent in second half while Johnnie's
shot 25 percent. Shots don;t drop and you look bad.
 
NO MORE TOURNEY TALK PLEASE ITS VERY EVIDENT WE ARE NOT GETTING IN. I WONDER WHAT SEED WE WILL GET NIT WISE ANY THOUGHTS I SAY A 5

Can you stop typing in all CAPS? By the way, I saw you mention something about someone being a moron. Look in the mirror.
 
Tough to win w/o your lead point guard and Harrison so cold.

IMO, this has little do with either thing. We don't play especially hard, we don't play together and we don't play intelligently. This is just not a very good team. It has talent but talent only takes you so far. I don't take coaches to task very much but why do we sit in that ridiculous passive zone? We have an athletic team but play in a defensive style that largely negates our athleticism. I realize neither Harrison or Greene have much of a committment to D but sitting in that zone is just the pits. Another big game that we came up very small in; the program obviously has a long way to go.


Exactly, why a zone? Did Lavin not watch Pitt's last game? They were terrible against the man defense. Can we please learn how to avoid getting picked outside, allowing their guards to penetrate with hand offs to their big men.
