Creighton

I'm most interested to see how Lovett comes out for the 2nd half after getting his lunch eaten. See what kind of heart he has

28 points in the paint. Domination close to the hoop.

We needed to shoot close to 50% from deep to have any shot tonight. 2-13 won't cut it against the big boys.

Yup and no more walking the ball up the court. Run the fckn ball

Agreed. Go right at them.

So still not worried about Patton guys?

The difference is that they got a decent number of easy baskets and clean looks and we have to work so hard for every one of our points. This is what happens when one team runs offensive sets and the other plays 1 on 1 ball

How many times is our pg going to try to low dribble through the double team? It's a turnover 98% of the time

Our bigs are afraid of him. So soft

Drives me crazy

He's just better than 'em.  Our bigs are just shotblockers.  They're not particularly the "dig deep" defensive types.

I'm only afraid of the guy that keeps drawing his defender and putting then ball in his hands two feet from the basket.

Ponds got his lunch taken

We gotta play defense for 40 minutes, and play smartly.

I think Creighton is going to win the Big East

He scored 3 baskets of his 6 baskets one on one on the block. One on Yakwe, two on Owens. These weren't undefended shots, he's just better than our bigs are. But don't worry, he's just a frosh that averages 13 and 6. Nothing to worry about. Owens can handle him

Ponds last guy up the court on d that last break

I think Creighton is going to win the Big East

Villanova will win it again.

The SJU dance team needs an upgrade

Yakwe on Patton to start the half? I'm turning this one off now. No good will come from watching this half.

No argument from me, I'm just more impressed with Creighton at the moment. That could change in 2 mins though lol. Bipolar Baldi

Patton has gone to the line 2 times or less in 9 games this year. Body him up and live with the results. Bigger things to worry about.

He has two moves....goes to the up-and-under by default. He'll hook it over or smaller defenders like he did to Paschall of Nova or around stiffs. Everything else is lobs, dunks, or open jumpers.

Of course, I've now set the stage for his 40 and 18 coming out party.

In 25 minutes he is averaging 13 and 6.5 shooting 74%. No that is not a mistype 74%
And though averaging 6.5 boards in 25 mins in not spectacular, as a team Creighton is shooting 54%. Yes 54% So basically there are hardly any offensive rebounds to get.
And just to put numbers in context Ewing as a Frosh 12.7 and 7.5. No that he is anywhere close to Pat but based off the arguments on here about  Patton, if there was a SJU board in 1982 the 1982 version of some of you would be posting why worry about Ewing only averaging 12.7 and 7.5

You are a pro at taking something that isnt even there and running with it. No one is saying that he is not good.

"He's a freshman averaging 13 and 6...let's not get carried away."

"Patton is just a frosh and I don't think he's big enough to bully Owens like many of the jacked guys he's struggled against. "

 "Patton is good, but he's not a phenom by any stretch....he looks like a slightly better version of Sima to me. The way you beat Owens  this year is by going through him. Patton has scored on finesse moves thus far."

"Ha! He moves like a robot. I could see him being a backup if he polished up his game, but this is not the type of talent some of you think. His current draft projection will slide down to second round with time. "

" Best big averaging 6 RPG? GTFOH."

I really could go on

Sima killing us

Yakwe on Patton to start the half? I'm turning this one off now. No good will come from watching this half. 

Yep.  I'm about to do the same.

This is over. Ponds has given up defensively
