I’m such a moron! I thought the game was at 6pm because of the thread title. Ecstatic to see we won. Eff Nova!
Again, your entire argument for why Posh wasn’t good was because he shot 25% from 3 on 2 shots per game. Jenkins is shooting 24.6% and takes more than twice as many shots and you love him? It makes no sense. Nobody on this forum would say Jenkins is the better defender…even you couldn’t say that. They are both wild distributors with similar flaws there. So where is this major upgrade?Its the Posh lovers who hate jenkins. They cant admit what a major upgrade we got at pg over last year. Its pathetic.
Anyways, today felt different. Today was the day, for me, where it all chsnged for this program.
We are a force to be recogned with. I expect us to win games now.
This is a wonderful feeling!!!!!
They'll go 13-7 in the B.E. They're 3-1, gotta sweep G-Town and DePaul, that's 7-1.Kenpom, for what its worth now has the StJ's regular season finish at 20 - 11 and 12 - 8.
I wish we could get the Boston College game back.
Zuby helped a lot at right time today Beast, I’ll give you your due on him so far.You know who was the first guy to leap off the bench to celebrate the dagger 3 by Brady and who Brady turned to scream at - his biggest booster Wilcher. Says a ton about Simeon.
Wilchers day will come. I think in a cameo he threw the 1st half alley oop to Zuby.
Would love that these day become the core in a year or two.
Zuby no stiff as was hibted at here. Two ferocious blocks and a slam in 4 1st half minutes. Yea he was overmatched by Dixon in a brief 2nd half run but he is rapidly improving.
Sunday monday Happy Days.
We are fortunate to have Rick Pitino as our HC for all that be brings to the table with recruiting, player development and game time preparation.They'll go 13-7 in the B.E. They're 3-1, gotta sweep G-Town and DePaul, that's 7-1.
They just gotta go 6-6 vs. everyone else.
Thinking like that, I believe we can do better then 6-6.
Imagine atleast 14-6 in Rick's first season at SJU coach? (and no I won't put Stj)
Skies the limit with Rick.
Jenkins is one of the best players on the tram. Posh is riding the pine in crunch for his crappy team. This debate is over. Accept jenkins is a much better pg then posh and move on. Its apparant to everyone but you.Again, your entire argument for why Posh wasn’t good was because he shot 25% from 3 on 2 shots per game. Jenkins is shooting 24.6% and takes more than twice as many shots and you love him? It makes no sense. Nobody on this forum would say Jenkins is the better defender…even you couldn’t say that. They are both wild distributors with similar flaws there. So where is this major upgrade?
We were up 15 when Jenkins was 1-6 from the field. We won this game in spite of his shooting. He actually had the ball in his hands way less than usual today and it looked to be by design.
People are either going to be okay with a guy shooting 24% from 3 doing a step-back without making an effort to get any teammates involved or they are going to hate it. It’s really not a mystery.
Take 5 less shots a game and everyone would shut up.
Don’t let him or anyone else steal your joy, buzz or the joy of this victory. People are going to hate despite accomplishing something we haven’t done in ages. Minds are made up.If I was going to put $ on anyone to bring my post game buzz down this was an easy call

Nah, I want it all, you never ever settle. With Rick, we gotta think big.A split w next two, PC & Creighton was fine w me, but getting greedy
You have been more than reasonable assessing him to date. I just have a little more faith in his upside at present.Zuby helped a lot at right time today Beast, I’ll give you your due on him so far.
Maybe we will win those games you say we won’t if he misses those. We all see he takes more shots than he probably should. But we most also see the better parts of his game that should be lauded as well.We won’t beat many good teams with him taking step-back 3’s when he’s 1-4 on the night.
Shot selection is some of the most fair criticism one can have on a fan site since it’s so easily correctable.
The reality for those who are fixated on Jenkins is this .Don’t let him or anyone else steal your joy, buzz or the joy of this victory. People are going to hate despite accomplishing something we haven’t done in ages. Minds are made up.
Enjoy it, relish it and move on to the next one.
Alleyne is a pitbull on defense. Might have to call him the locksmith for locking people downAnother big time call by Pitino was late in the 2nd half, Armstrong started to heat up. Pitino subbed in Allenye and had him lock down armstrong who then disappeared from the game.
Pitino is a master.
He is. Rutherford was the best defensive player Ive seen in a st johns uni over the last few years. Allenye is up there too.Alleyne is a pitbull on defense. Might have to call him the locksmith for locking people down
+1000The reality for those who are fixated on Jenkins is this .
Pitino has given him the keys to the Season . There is nothing that anyone on the Site can do to alter that .
Jenkins has received the Pitino Blessing that few earn in RP ‘s career . Get used to it .
If you look at the final Box Score , Jenkins has a lot of the boxes filled with good numbers .
Harping on his 3 point shooting or the shots he takes really doesn’t matter to Pitino , so why does it matter to the few on here who want to run it again and again like a broken record .
