Villanova (MSG), Fri., Jan. 20, 7p, FS-1

How long Is Soriano supposed to guard the guy in the paint? 7 seconds? If there was only some rule that didn't allow that to happen.
Pinzon was awful tonight, rushes off balance shots instead of letting the game come to him.
Announcers make a comment that Nova has a small lineup on the floor, SJ reaction, Soriano setting a pick at the top of the key, brilliant!
Dixon could get called for 3 seconds literally every time he has the ball. In fact, he is incapable of NOT taking more than 3 seconds. He is slow and can’t jump - so he has to make 4 maneuvers in order to get a shot up. My wife thought I was maniac on the last non-call when he twisted and turned for at least 6 seconds with out being called only compounded by Soriano being called for a foul. That should be a point of emphasis made to to refs before any game against Nova.
 
Under Anderson, wtf would they even keep him?
Serious question here: If SJU kept Anderson after this crap season, then why should anyone even care about SJU basketball unless you just want to torment yours

Unless the buyout is small, I just don't see them firing Anderson. They are a notoriously cheap school and I don't see them bucking that trend now.

But you hit on a great point here. Between the Mullin disaster and this disappointment, SJU are getting to be completely apathetic. We expect to lose and we expect the university to make bad decisions. So the reality is if you think ticket sales are down this year, I have to imagine they'll be near non existent if they keep Anderson for another year.
 
Here is literally the only reason I go to games now. To see my 114 crew and friends and awesome to see Monte and Eric ( missing from the photo was brookredmen who was so furious he needed to get a drink )

Not sure what this is in response to - but he is right, they had more than enough layup attempts to win this game by 10. The team played very nervous tonight on offense.
That coach doesn’t design any shots at all. He can’t even conduct a half-court offense. For him to say his players can’t hit a layup to the media, which bar Soriano is true, when he can’t get any of his players an open look on offense is as hypocritical as it gets.

Yeah layups would be a good thing, but half their layups dont even touch the freaking rim, I mean are you kidding me, you have a div 1 college basketball team that is horrible at hitting layups.
Wish I knew their % on layups tonight. 50%?

Only outpaced by our success on fast breaks

He’s being defensive because he knows it’s his butt on the line.
 
just got back from the game... squished next to Nova fans on the LIRR with 2/3 kids screaming... I'm normally not this upset after a loss... but what a Putrid performance.

The epitome of Shitting the Bed....wife who never watches basketball asked 3 times in the last 8 mins... "don't they have a play? what do they make such bad passes? They beat uConn?"

I have never witnessed such lifeless basketball in front of such a "packed" (for SJU- that was a really great turnout- looked it atleast) Home crowd. There was no play that got the crowd into it... no big time fast break... big time 3... so many chances to get that Home crowd into the game and they failed at every opportunity.

This is the most mediocre Nova team this Century and we got swept.

What a way to kill any momentum this team had.... hopefully this is just emotions running hot right now... but what ugly basketball from both sides...and we were uglier.
Same here. Just got home from the garden

what a letdown really good crowd. Crowd never had opportunit6 to get into the game
