We may catch a break. Tyler Lydon game time decision.

Nothing to lose here. Run, run and run some more.

We'll be up to chuck up 3s at will against their zone. If we shoot like we did against Tulane, or last year against Cuse, we have a chance. If not, we could lose by 40 easily.

We'll be about 15 point dogs

I think we need to push the issue, even on made baskets. Start 4 guards and either  Yakwe or Owens. And run. Take it to the basket, force it. Make them foul

Agree. If this kid is out, and we guard 3 point line. Their is a chance. Also could lose by 50

Ideal offensive lineup would be Lovett, Ponds, Mussini, Ahmed and Owens/Yakwe. Perfect opportunity for Ahmed to be the guy that catches it at the foul line against their zone, face up and attack. The other three guards are spread out behind the 3 point line for Ahmed to kick it to. Owens/Yakwe waiting for a pass along the baseline near the basket.

Boeheim's going to force us to make 3's all day. We will have a very hard time cracking that zone. We need to take it to the hoop and draw fouls just not sure how plausible that is for this team. Coleman has been there for like 10 years and we have no big bodies to deal with him.

If we can stay within 5 on the boards and shoot 40% from 3 it can be a win.  The second is doable, the first unlikely,  Need to run and press and, to do so, need to rebound well.  Cuse not very good so we do have a chance if we somehow learned to play D in the last few days.  I am seeing an 11-12 win season based on some hot games from the guards. (I originally predicted 18 wins in my usual optimistic fashion.....I am unfailingly optimistic about SJU hoops and my golf game.

Watching DePaul now (yes the game was yesterday) . They suck also.Don't think we sweep them though. Have seen a little of Syracuse, they aren't great and not that Athletic. This may sound crazy but this may be one of the winnable games we have left.
I love pressing and playing tough. However you can't do it with this roster. Lovett, ponds, and Ahmed need to play 30 plus. Huge drop off when they are on bench. (I know many of you hate Ahmed) still one of our better players.
If mullin wins 12 games- I will completely change my opinion of him. I think we beat DePaul at home and maybe providence. 7 wins
I think boheim gets some pay back. We lose 85-72 and make it a game for 30 minutes hopefully.

Syracuse is weak on defense and they don't have their typical well rounded offense.
Still, I don't it's healthy to expect anything other than a blow out. We had a miracle last year.

The Dome is intimidating, and this is a pretty intimidated St.John's team.

No Mussini tomorrow. Elijah Ingram's Carrier Dome record is safe. That probably means that Holyfield will get some minutes.

I'm confident you'll beat a few dead horses.

Cant predict who we will beat......it is a matter of playing good D and hitting from 3.....I believe the team will slowly improve defensively, they could not get any worse.....team was close early when playing some good teams, must learn to finish games, be consistent and win.  Unfortunately, when you start losing games, particularly those you should win, the confidence level plummets. The youngstesr will learn and improve, when is the question. As I said earlier, I am always optimistic.
