SJU thoughts
« on: January 21, 2015, 08:01:58 PM »
1.  MU made it ugly in the first half, keeping it close when their offense was putrid.
2.  Welcome back, freshman year, Steve!   Now get consistent.
3.  Sandy Cohen is a keeper.   Shame he couldn't get a call at the rim tonight.   
4.  Derrick and Juan stunk tonight.   Juan slightly less.
5.  MU was much more successful attacking the rim than they were trying to finesse it over shotblockers.   When MU acted afraid around the rim, they got killed.   I'm looking at you, Juan, Duane, Luke...
6.  SJU is so much more athletic than MU.
7.  MU needs a plan B when the defense smothers Carlino.   Who will step up?   The question that will haunt MU the rest of the year.
8.  Fatigue.  Nah, I don't think fatigue was an issue tonight.   Just messin'.
9.  Winning on the road in conference is tough, even when you have a really good team.   Not sure if this team can win one. 
10.  Turnovers and rebounding.   Need more of one, less of the other.
11.  I like how Lavin played that at the end.

Wait, you think Juan stuck slightly less then Derrick?

Juan may have had one of the worst D1 basketball performances I have ever seen.


Game overall, different game same story.

Just infuriating.

We are talking degrees of suckiness.     Neither was worth a thing tonight.

Too many turnovers again. Simple as that. We'll get there...

A winnable game. Need to learn how to close out games. As long as we have Derrick in at crunch time it will not happen.

I, for one, just wish Car3no wasn't such a quick trigger chucker.

Some people's comments just continue to ring true.

What would having Derrick out of the game changed in the last minute?  Did Derrick touch the ball besides to inbound it?

Some people are hilarious.

Every time I watch this team I see a lot of potential. Could easily see us lose 6-8 of our final 12 games in the big east. But I wouldn't even be surprised if we made the big east tournament final. I'm optimistic while also having low expectations.

That's a bit hyperbolic.

But yes, Juan had an awful game tonight. His offense has suddenly disappeared.

Lessee; We got butkus points from our two senior captains tonight, but they did contribute in other ways.

Derrick in at crunch time had nothing to do with this game. Not a strong perfromance from him tonight however.

If derrick and juan are gonna play 51 Minutes combined and come up with 0 points....

The results will be similar in wins and losses going forward.

Didn't watch the game, I tracked it on the ESPN ap & I can tell you that 10 & 12 suck.  Always have and always will.

The only difference between freshmen Juan and senior is that senior Juan is getting forced minutes due to lack of size and players. They are both the same not good basketball player.

Weird, I could've sworn I saw Carlino hit 4 3 pointers in about 2 minutes.  Box score has him for 21.  Guess "butkus" = 21?

Am I the only one who doesn't mind Derrick as long as he's actually being aggressive? He didn't play well tonight but I feel like that was more due to him being so passive. He shouldn't hesitate to drive it and draw contact. I don't even care if he misses the free throws, make SJU realize you want to score too.

Shouldn't you be at LibertyScoop by now?

Or you sticking around just to pop up to badmouth our current roster when we're losing?

Say what you want but it is first time there are signs this team is playing like men. There was fight in there eyes and they are becoming aggressive. Still more to go but real progress tonight. I expect the game against Georgetown will be an old fashion brawl. Frustration and anger can not put the ball in the bucket it will result in guys like, Fischer, JJJ, Cohen, Taylor, etc. having more success going to the basket. This season is beginning to look up. We will win more than we will lose over the remainder of the season.

I wouldn't say that.  I'd just say we've started to face tough competition.  Look at games against any team that could beat Marquette High and he hasn't done much offensively outside of his 16 point performance against Providence.  9 against Georgetown is solid.  12 against Georgia Tech is also solid.  6 against Ohio State, 7 against Michigan State, 6 against Tennessee, 3 against Wisconsin, 6 against Arizona State, 4 against Xavier, 0 against St. John's.  (I'm not sure Depaul - 9, or Creighton - 4, could beat MUHS, so didn't include those, but there they are)  Juan is about a 6 and 6 guy.  He just gave us hope by going off on little the little guys.  Same with JJJ.  And Luke.

Played their butts off. It's all they got.  Look to next year and enjoy every game this year.  We will get some Ws.  We could knock offs someone in the first game in the Big E.
