1. Phil Greene to be a more consistent scoring threat. He's scored in double figures in 50% of games this season which also means he hasn't scored in double figures for half of stj's games.
2. STJ is getting to the FT line 18 times a game. Get that up to 25.
3. Amir, Obeckpa, and Sampson have been great on offensive end rebound the ball. They need to have same hunger protecting their own glass.

I have plenty more but want to get you guys rolling

Sanchez cleared, and Rysheed to declare.

mixed feelings on that.  glad he's cleared...but we could have really used him from the start.  what a needless waste.

What do I want for Christmas? That's easy. An invite to join the ACC.

Been a rough year for all, let's all keep our heads on straight no matter the madness that surrounds us. Stay safe and Merry Christmas to all!!

Iona has a football team?

They do belong in the Atlantic 10 more than Fordham does, though.

Lol, no.   I've been a little disappointed (and I had relatively low expectations to start with) but I'm still excited to see this team in conference play.  But I'd really like to see this same team with another year under their belts, that could be a special season if Dangelo and Jakarr return.

Save that for your birthday wish.  Use the Christmas wish for something this year :)

Fair enough Moose.   Then I want to see improved defense in the 2nd half of the season.  Not schematically.
Man or zone I just want to see guys moving their feet and staying in front of their man.   We've had too many breakdowns against guys that are half as athletic as we are. 

The offense and quicker ball movement will come with time and familiarity I think.

1. A rapid well-planned fully funded recovery for Belle Harbor where I grew up

2. Orlando eligible with an apology from the pond scum in Indianapolis.

3. One of a long line of STJ under-sized but gifted power forward alums to visit Chris Jones and teach him how to move bodies out of the way so Sampson, Obekpa, Garrett et al can use their athleticism to get to the rim.
