serious lack of intensity for most of the game.  We get up by 10 against these mid majors and we decide to cruise...I don't get it.  This team should know better.

At least this year they are stepping it up when it counts at the end of the game.  Impressive clamp down on defense for the final 6 minutes.  Playing Horne on Jenkins and DJ on Washington really shut down the pick and roll.

Very thankful we beat Hofstra.  Pecora was getting very smug about his record against St. John's.

We did what we've been doing. Play really well for a few minutes, and then play really carelessly for a few minutes.

I was convinced we were done. Still can't believe we closed out the game on an 18-1 run. It's like we've been sitting in the dark for five years, and Norm finally flipped the switch.

Nice gut check victory...the guys willed themselves to a win. Refused to be beat. I loved it. This is another game we would have lost last year. Finally closed out a game strong. Boothe keeps making plays when we need them. DJ is the man and Hardy and Brownlee were the wing men. Keep it up guys!

We won't be top 25 today.  I'm guessing 28 if you put a gun to my head.  Shot at bein top 25 if we win both this week.

Impressive win. Obviously, there are some things missing, but that 18-1 streak to close the game was amazing.  It seems like we blocked their shot or stole the ball like 20 possessions in a row! 

Hardy started to look to take the ball to the hole for the first time.  Brownlee and DJ were beasts.  We gotta shoot better as a team.  This is starting to become a theme. 

We should have never gone down by seven, but what a freaking gut-check to come back twice and win by 12.  Wow.  Hofstra is  just as good or better than probably six teams in the Big East.
