I would have put the chances of us winning with 13 minutes left at close to zero

For some reason I never doubted we would come back and win. Unlike other SJU teams in the past this team gives me confidence and I can’t explain it. We still play some ugly bball at times but then somehow come out on top. I worry now if we can win when we are up at the half and prefer to be down at the half

Hey Matty my boy.

RJ ended with 16 & 7 so shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

6 turnovers tonight. Did we watch the same game?

 

[firestorm]

Ok, I have to tell the truth. At half time I changed into my "lucky St. John's game winning shorts" and helped us win the game. Just say'in.

Don't even think about washing them!

 

[MugCostanza]

Uh oh which assistant had the scout for this game? We know it wasn’t Van so that narrows it down….

 

[SJUWillRockNYC]

Shit happens.

That's all you got. SMH

 

[Silly Donovan]

What's a "virgin"?

Ask Madonna?

 

[SJU85]

Everyone who said this game was over at half, that we need to Smith to win, or that we won’t be ranked again after the loss today… please just take 10 seconds and think before you post your unreasonable doomer takes. They aren’t wanted here

Should refrain from posting during games. A lot of those post don’t age well.

Are there any virgins left??

Don’t be so sure. You have met a number of us, and you what we look like.

Mean Gene also changed into his lucky halftime get up as well

Are there any virgins left??

I’m watching the Utah State game and I think I found several thousand for you.

 

[SJU85]

Patience is a virgin!!

She is?

 

[riverside8a]

Just got back from the game… few observations

This team is special. Gritty never say die

This was the Kadary game IMO

Rick has done a masterful job bringing prey and Vince along…Vince quality mins in 1st half and prey in 2nd

Tough game for Zuby and RJ…RJ reverted to too many 1 on 3 tries

Wilcher may be a bit off his rocker. Always talking and gyrating

Smallish crowd but was loud when we made our comeback

Such a fun and maybe special season

 

[mjmaherjr]

Halftime is just a number because we inflict our will on whoever we play in the second half

Damn that Nostramahermus Chinese great philosopher the entire thread almost he was sane and not insane ( not normal for him )but dam money mjmaherjr tonight

I commented early that Kadary looked noticeably faster. The next 2 months should only get better there.

 

[SJU85]

That three Sim shot in rhythm coming off a screen was a thing of beauty. Makes you realize just how few of those he gets. They run no sets for him, and Kadary and RJ never drive and dish for an open three. If he got more of either, you'd see that % go up.

Disagree, he had other opportunities but a is the confidence to take than due to his shooting woes.

I haven't read any comments on this thread yet since I just got home but I hope you all realize the fans were behind the team and cheered them to an incredible come from behind victory. I think our president said a few silent prayers in the second half that also helped.
Kudos to a well prepared X team that rotated the ball perfectly and played excellent defense.....certainly better than us.
Smith was really missed in this game but KR came up big in the second half.

I commented early that Kadary looked noticeably faster. The next 2 months should only get better there.

Since the closing minutes of the Butler game, he's looked more and more like the Richmond we saw for Seton Hall last year.

Hey Matty my boy.

RJ ended with 16 & 7 so shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

And yet he's still a basketball moron who gives back anywhere from 25% - 50% of his production with bonehead plays. When it's 25% it's great. When it's 50% like tonight, not so great. Also difficult to watch and negative for his teammates. But stats, amirite?
