Game 5: Legends Classic Championship: VCU (ESPN2, 970 AM)

The fan base spent the entire summer obsessing about whether a new assistant would be added and bemoaning that he wasn't and playing where's waldo with MR and then when they see an assistant actually doing something it's an embarrassment.

Yes the natural progression of a teams steady improvement I expect as well. However this iso ball appears to be the offense of choice and it contributes to poor shot selection all around.

I’m not enjoying it and fear it will only continue as the season progresses. The players get discouraged, it was a big reason for Owens departure. Although Owens thought he was better than he is, we are missing his presence on the inside.

In previous years it was understandable why Ponds wouldn’t pass the ball, not this year.

So you are finally conceding the point that St. Jean coaches the team ?

Have I called you stupid yet today? If not, consider this it.

You've never met a more miserable fan base until you've met us.

Haha! I mean...c'mon, man. For real. When does this forum start to actually root for this team? For most folks on here, winning isn't important. Winning by 100 is. With perfect ball distributionbon offense. Maybe pitch a shutout or two defensively. Teams who haven't won in the past decade don't just step on the floor and win like that. WE ARE WINNING. The amount of whining on this thread is embarrassing. Clearly there are things this team can be doing better, but it seems like most people on here will never be satisfied. So let's keep complaining about the schedule and our assistant coaches and our All American and our lack of size.....

Enjoy your 5-0!

So this is the logic that I don't get. If we're "lucky" to have the players we have, then you'll never give credit to the coaching staff for bringing in anyone. If you were coming out if high school as a top recruit, is Queens really that attractive? The way athletic facilities are built now, what does St. John's have to offer to compete with? You want too 100 recruits to play like like too 30 recruits. Top 100 recruits are talented but undisciplined. That's why they're not top 30 recruits. You want them to play a top schedule without proving themselves against a mediocre schedule. You want to talk about how they had to come from behind instead of talk about that the DID come from behind. What St. John's has to offer now is a coach who's biggest asset is that he is a legend and he knows the NBA. Everyone loves him. He lets the kids play. Whatever his shortcomings are as an X and O guy means nothing. Shit, everyone in this forum thinks they are an X and O guy. That's easy. Other people can take care of that. Kids have to want to come here. They want to see wins. They want to see someone go the NBA. Let this guy get kids here. All your bitching about playing shitty in wins is just that. Bitching. You want make an impact? Write something constructive on here so if some recruit stumbles on it and says, "Hey, let's see how much St. John's gans love their team," they don't see half this board talking shit about the kids and the staff.

Mullin is an NBA guy, he runs an NBA offense. Which is a lot of ISO play, a lot of running, a lot of three pointers. If you are an NBA fan you see and get it. A lot of people on here want to see a college offense with plays and shit. It would be nice if they moved around more on offense but whatever works for them works for them and I would never complain about it.

All summer complaints about getting an "X&O" guy. Literally St. Jean has been bringing THE FIRE coming out of timeouts (it wasn't executed to perfection but that play to try to win the game vs VCU at the end of regulation was great). Someone literally on here called it embarrassing.

MISERABLE these people.

Big east is starting soon. Kevin Williard will be ready on the 29th. He is 6-0 vs mullin.

You are fake news

So you are finally conceding the point that St. Jean coaches the team ?

What you either have forgotten or haven’t realized is this offense hasnt worked here. For every Nebraska and Rutgers games their are 5 awful shooting nights.
 This NBA style works in the NBA because the players are better. All those guys shoot well. They were all outstanding college scorrers. Any open shot for them is a good shot.
I don’t watch the NBA because I find it boring. (The playoffs are great.) Watching a bad Knick team play another bad team when neither runs and offense is awful basketball.
The OOC should prepare a team for conference play. Their is not one team that we will play in November or December that is any where near as good as a big east team with a good coach. So if you think that was a good plan. I disagree. If you think that is miserable, sorry. Enjoy your legends classic title. Wagner in a few weeks should make this team 9-0. Congrats!

Big east is starting soon. Kevin Williard will be ready on the 29th. He is 6-0 vs mullin. Those 11 losses in a row wasn’t bad luck. Last year we tied for 9th which is the same as tying for last. That team without Lovett wasn’t great. Certainly wasn’t a last place team.

St. Jean out of timeouts has been great.
