Villanova Game

I was feeling so good after that Pointer alley oop. I can't believe this game turned out this way. I am very depressed.

I liked the look of Myles Stewart, he could become the next Dwight Hardy. That is why you watch the games.

He's a very impressive freshman. It's probably time to bring him in a few times a game after a stoppage in play on the offensive end...even if it just until the next whistle. He is very confident and doesn't hesitate at all coming in cold.

Might try getting Balamou a lob that way off an inbound as well.[/quote] too bad Lavin couldn't have given him (Stewart) more burn against the patsies, he'd be further along by now .
 
Fwiw the schedule does get a lot softer, sure they are road games but against teams much more beatable than nova.

Unfortunately I don't see NCAA unless rysheed can really get himself together.

Jack, when Jordan "gets himself together" you may be finishing graduate school. :)

Lol. It is a tall order considering what we watched tonight. But I believe he can at least get back to 8-12 point a game. Maybe it's the depression setting in and the fact that I have to face a ton of nova fans tomorrow, but the fact that we might miss the tournament with this group of kids makes me want to throw up. I am so saddened by this, and then angered when I realize who's fault it is.

I honestly don't know what defense of Lavin could possibly be thrown out there at this point. If DLo doesn't get to an NCAA tournament game in his career I will never forgive Lavin as long as I live
 
I try and hold off after I am too pissed after a loss but this was bullshit. I ended up leaving probably with 6 minutes left. Just can't take this crap sometimes
 
Just got home 10minutes ago.

Yeah that was real fun, they kicked our asses in the last 10minutes of the game.
Where was JDR until the last 3 minutes?
And wtf happened to Jordan? Held to 0pnts until 2 FTs late in the game.

I'm boiling right now, now we're 0-3 in the conf.
It is BS that the seniors and CO has to play so much with a freaking bench, and yeah Marillac that's on coach Lavin.

Lavin is the coach...it all lands on him. I am very disappointed to lose and fall to 0-3, but I am really encouraged by the effort and some of the improvements on offense. I really think this is a game the team will grow from--which is not much of a consolation at this point of the season.

Harrison is becoming a guy that can consistently create for himself and others instead of having to rely on teammates to set him up. He's getting better every single game.

Jordan can't play that badly again, they can't lose 40-21 on the glass, and CO and Dom simply cannot ever get into foul trouble again.
 
Just got back from the game. Credit Nova. Every time we had a lil bit of momentum, they scored a basket or got to the line. Good teams do that. We have our work cut out for us. We are not built for what we want. After our start to the season, I thought we could make it work. These past 3 games are the reality check.
 
8 days until prov game. Can we just not practice until then and let the players just chill? Games start coming like crazy after this 8 day break these kids need to rest for us to have a chance
 
Last year we had a ton of depth but our team was criticized for not wanting it enough and not playing hard until Feburary.

Now it is the opposite. I swear you combine this teams heart and last years team roster you got something special.
 
Game over. 0-5 start last year... 0-3 now. Boy I can't wait for a new coach

I would like to say we have one more run in us but we look tired and have no bleeping bench.

Cant play 5-6 guys, run like we do and expect to have mcuh left down the stretch...

Can you please clarify what you mean by "improvements on offense"? St. John's competed with Villanova in the 1st half because they were shooting nearly 50% from the field (primarily from D'Angelo and Phil). The 2nd half consisted of bad shot selection (mainly by Phil) and just awful overall play (RySheed was borderline unwatchable).

The only reason SJU was even in this game was because of a stellar game by Harrison. Nothing more, nothing less.
 
God I wish we had a 2nd DLO on the team. If DLo was 2 inches taller he might be one of the top 5 players in the country

#whynot
 
They need to get Stewart and JDR in the rotation imo... Even for a few minutes here and there... Enough with the 6 man rotation bs...

I think the bigger question is why fans think a walk on and the tag along brother of a recruit need to get on the court more. I'm sorry, but the fact that these guys are even entering the conversation is cause for concern.
 
This team has no depth, and no size. Gonna be a struggle the rest of the way.

The team has depth and size. However those pieces are not all-around players and it is clearly too difficult for somebody to figure out what to do with those pieces.

There was absolutely no excuse not to get all 15 fouls out of Jones, Delarosa and Alibegovic tonight. It was crystal clear going into the game that Pinkston and Ochefu were going to be too much for Obkepa. If you didn't see it coming before, then it was apparent by the middle of the first half. But instead of trying to get even 2 minutes per half out of the 2 of the 3 big bodies sitting on the bench, we went with a 4 and 5 guard lineup until the guards were exhausted from helping on and trying to defend bigs, Obekpa and Pointer fouled out, and Ochefu had his way with us down low.

This in the face of Rysheed Jordan giving you absolutely nothing. I am sure that Delarosa or Alibegovic could have gone 0-6 from the field with 3 turnovers just as easily as Jordan. However they might have grabbed a couple of rebounds and made Ochefu earn his points from the line instead of taking layup practice.

I'm not saying that we have a roster of 9 starters. But the decision to use 6 players is a choice born of poor coaching.
