Not a bad half.

Be a lot closer if we took better care of the ball.

At least our D has improved.

Just got in missed the 1st 1/2 Guess we are doing better than expected Does this mean since the are behind by 6 we lose by 12 lol

As always, Nova fans staying tame. They wait until they know it's safe before they erupt.

I noticed that in past Nova games, thanks for pointing it out

St. John's Trivia:
Which SJU guard had the worst court sense in program history?

 

[usguard]

Outside of a block here and there Owens defense is bad He is there to stop player to get behind and throe down ducks

That was a nice dunk by Ellison and he got fouled.

That was a nice dunk by Ellison and he got fouled.

Ellison's going to be a good four year player for us.

 

[Mean Gene]

If we had an inside presence and could have stopped a few of those second chance opportunities we could stolen this game. Stil 5:00 left but unlikely

YAWKE IS A LIABILTY

You know I didn't believe it but the biggest flaw he has is mental. For some people big changes happen as they transition into mature juniors-seniors.

Ekkison has to hit 12 foot jump shots

 

[usguard]

Is it me I do not see us setting picks

 

[usguard]

Yakwe can hit foul shots

 

[rawdognyc]

He's improved a lot over last season. If can improve this much every year he will a very good player for us the next two years. Agree with you on the mental aspect

As much as we give away possessions with TOs and poor shot selection, our biggest problem is we are just not committed to defense and don't play hard enough rebounding and going after 50/50 balls. Too many players who do most of their "focusing" when the ball is in their hands. Funny but Mullin has had no more success than Lavin teaching that blocked shots are nothing but fools gold, if either were/are trying to teach it.

We need Ahmed as third scorer, but he's in a big funk.

 

[Porgyman]

We were a 13.5 point dog, and lost by 13. Congrats to those that bet on StJ.

Overall not a bad effort against one of the best teams in the country. Got a really poised team to make mistakes and our guys deserve credit for that. With a year of maturity and some added muscle I think we could win this same game next season.
