Dixon will see healthy dose of Zuby, Vince, Prey.
Though I think Zuby and Prey are the only ones that can match Dixon's 'quickness'.

St. John's is 4-1 to start conference play, and boasting the #7 ranked defense in the country per KenPom.
In their five conference games, the St. John's defense has held their opponents to 20, 25, 22, 23, 22 field goals made.
In these five games, they have overwhelmed teams with FG volume attempting on average 17 more shots per game, 72, while holding their opponents to 55.
Even Sean Miller, after St. John's beat Xavier, said he can't remember too many games where a team got that many shots off.
This is how St. John's has won despite shooting 11-74 from three point range in these games. Relentless defense, second and third chances, rebounding, grit and heart.
See you Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.

Tomorrow we abuse Dixon by committee. Scott can definitely help. Their win over UConn was the best thing for us. More juice for the game abd we need to man handle them
Last Gabe I’ll absolutely take missing 3s for suffocating defense and inflicting our will on the boards
That’s why I love the knicks back with oak starks mason etc
We are developing an identity and I F’ing love it

Guarding Dixon is a challenge and obviously important. Equally important IMO is making Dixon work on the Defensive end. If he’s gonna chase around one of our wings we neeed to take advantage.
Hell yeah!
Even the 114 gang who have already developed an identity of being old cranks will be ready to contribute.

We are 30th in the country in opposition FT%. That must reflect some level of exhaustion.
That's the wildest stat I've ever seen. Free throws are ... FREE!!! Seems like pure luck to me.
We did the same with YouTube TV. Still requires you to exit an app and enter another one which takes time so if somethings on Peacock I have my table with Youtube TV close by to do lookins at other events or surf the web for scores or porn.

Enoch Boakye is Nova's 6'10 center.......I think Zuby will be busy with him. Scott may have his hands full with Dixon.
I assume some systems still don't carry it in HD. Same for CBSSN. Both are HD and great pictures with YouTube TV.
There is a pattern with good Pitino teams having success with that stat. His national champion Louisville team was #21 in the country in opposition FT%.
I remember getting into it with a couple Kentucky fans in the mid 90's, though I imagine they would be calling me the "interesting" one at the time.
I've always said no one can set up the FT D like CRP.

Enoch is very bad. Zuby can all but ignore him on defense and help when they attack the basket

BTW, how are you doing with the wildfires Asstour?
Good sign. We usually suck at free throw defense.
Thanks for asking. We're all safe and sound. 4 miles from the closest evacuation zone in North Santa Monica. Only had one friend. I mean only had one friend in Palisades. She lost her house. Today the winds have died down a lot. Helping our firefighters but I can smell smoke everywhere, which I couldn't when the winds were ripping. Hoping they make a lot of progress at least on barriers before the winds pick up again later this afternoon. It's some scary shit. I can not imagine what it will look like when I go to see the devastation in Palisades and up the PCH once all the smoke clears, if you will pardon the pun.
