DePaul predictions
« on: January 06, 2018, 11:07:26 AM »
Our guys are gonna be pissed.

Pizza - 83
Quiche - 65

Marvin Clark with a career high 27. Simon locks up Straus, but hey, good for DePaul for finding a quality player in an unlikely place.

SJ by 12

DePaul's guards wilt against our defensive pressure, their bigs get into early foul trouble against our speed, and Trimble hits a few 3s, prompting the covert squad that has been dispatched to Italy to kidnap Mussing to be called back.

Max Strus hits some deep 3/s, prompting 100 posts on JJ about why our lazy and incompetent staff can't scour D2 rosters to pluck our a kid who can score 20 a night in the BE.

Everything is fine in Johnnyland until midweek when the HOYAs, the scourge of the MEAC, come into MSG and give us a competitive game with their BE height and bulk.

The next time we box out will be the first time

We are now in game 4 of conference, and we still do not box out or run anything that resembles a offense when we need a bucket.  No matter how many bodies we will eventually have, Mullins offense is stagnet.

This is embarrassing...if they don't win this, season is over, no chance to rebound from 0-4 and losing to DePaul

Hate to say it, but the biggest issue is coaching. We are too talented to be losing to DePaul. We are undisciplined, and our offense is a free for all. I see no signs of this improving.

As good as Owens and Clark have been, they have 1 rebound between them. Would like to see our bigs have an inside game.

No rebounding. No coaching. No bench. No Marcus.  NOTHING NEW

Let’s see what Mullin has in second half.  Last game he had no answers, this game he better get this team motivated. Right now they are just playing, cause game is on schedule.

I've been saying this since the first seson.  I mentioned it once or twice on Redmen, but didnt want to expound on it too much given the circumstances of that particular year.

But, there were some things I noticed that was of concernment.  Last season and, so far, this early season hasn't squashed those concerns. 

It's the elephant in the room that several don't wanna touch.

That was an awful first half. Odd that they havent focused at home in the last 3 halves. Biggest key on d is the complete lack of boxing out. Is Mullin gonna have them ready for the second half?

Clark has been very underwhelming all year

Problem is Clark is neither a 3 or a 4. Too slow to be a true 3, doesn't play big enough to even be a stretch 4. If he wasn't a great shooter he'd be in big trouble

I'm not a big fan of JT3, but he is calling a great game on tv. He has been very critical of St John's game plan and is not afraid to call a dumb shot a dumb shot or saying that SJU is not boxing out.   Very refreshing!

If he was great why did Osborne let him go

honeymoon is over, for sure

I don't think anyone should hold back criticism, if they have it
