Amar has to foul hard or let the guy score.  These touch fouls for the and 1 make no sense.

They know they can score at will inside. I don't see a way we win this one unless Harrison goes off.

Until Ali learns how to be smarter on d and understand the game better, it  is going to hinder him from being a complete player. Right now game is to fast for him.

As bad as JOnes looked last time does he get another chance? Amar is going to foul out.

He's a woman

I don't agree. There's a walk on the bench that should be playing over him. I would suggest he transfer to lesser conference but instead I think he should just stop playing basketball period. If he doesn't care, no one should have to watch him go through the motions. He's a disgrace.

Jones shouldn't be allowed on the court, he seems to not even try out there

I think Jones looked better today. Only today. Maybe he looked less worse. The other 2 were worse.

He doesn't try. But our guys are letting them run up the score. At least foul them.

Balamou should not be handling the ball. Ever.

This St. John’s team are bullies,  however when the bully gets punched in the face they have a hard time responding.  Hopefully we get some finesse teams in the tournament or we are toast!  Because as we saw today when we get punched back we retreat!

Attack basketball, pressure defense, 40 minutes of hell ... Early on it might be 30 minutes of hell, then 10 minutes of what the hell are you doing?"

Nothing to take from this one bad or good. We already know we are shorthanded, especially on the frontline, and I was shocked the first half was even close, as Noca has blown the doors off good teams at full strength this year (like providenxe).

Assuming Phil is ok - he tweaked something and left and came back - no harm comes from this game. Lets hope Branch and Chris benefit from the extra rest and are easy to go on Thursday. The next few weeks should be fun.

Disagree Kahn. This team got TKO'ed in DC and came back a week later and beat down the Hoyas. Heart and fight isn't the issue with our core players. Nova is a better team and bad matchup for us even at full strength because of their personnel.  It wasn't about backing down to a bully today. It was about having no answer for Pinkston and Ochefu, and wearing down because of the lack of depth

Congratulations to Phil Greene IV on scoring 16 points, passing Lamont "Monty" Hamilton to move into 30th place on the St. John's University all-time scoring list.

Mr. Hamilton was a strong interior presence who scored, rebounded and blocked shots in the mid 2000's.
