1/11 vs Depaul
« on: January 03, 2020, 10:12:19 AM »
Yes there is game before this.... but picked up tickets for this game this morning.  Was not sure if I would be in NY as in the middle of moving to area..... very excited for this.  Will make 4 of last 5 home games, skipped NYE game so that loss is on me.

Love these noon sat games..... grab a pint before the game and then can find another bar post game and watch both NFL divisional games before heading back to DC Sunday morning.

DePaul's 0-2, but both of their losses were at home.  So, the loser of this game is winless in the Big East, with 2 home losses.  Tough to make even a partial recovers (say 4 or more wins) after that, though Lavin got to 10-8 each of his last two seasons, starting 0-3 or worse, with 2 home losses.

We come out playing hard, after what I can only hope is some serious attention paid to what on earth happened at Georgetown.

No word on Greg Williams. IDK how long he’s on concussion protocol for. Anyone know how serious it is?

Do or die.  Both teams desperately need a win after strong starts.

As an aside, this game should be on campus, with Creighton in march at msg.  This used to be the annual vincentianfest and the old school donors & priests that essentially ran each school would use it for meetings.

Want to see them come out strong.... need to hit a few shots early to get into that press.  Love the noon games at the garden!  Time to grab lunch after and find a place to watch NFL playoffs with time to spare!

He knows. Someone should tell him that there are 4 other guys on his team.

Coach is telling him, but he hasn’t heard him yet.

It’s unfortunate as Heron seems like a good young man. Very supportive of his teammates. Something just isn’t clicking between the ears. The turnovers were alarming. It was telling when Anderson pulled him to start the second half of the GT game.

It's probably coaching. Mullin was able to motivate and get the most from the young man.

Mullin probably didn’t even know his name.

Heron went 1-12, picked up a flagrant, and fouled out of the biggest game of his career at St. John’s while mullin was the coach.   this is just heron’s mo. He’s a good kid with skills, but he’s a bit of an enigma.

For better or worse, our coach has a system, and that system isn’t to run the offense solely through Mustapha Heron. From what I can see, Coach Anderson doesn’t care if you’re a second team pre-season All BE player and likely NBDL second round pick. If you don’t buy into his system, you’re gonna sit.

I think we want a coach who holds all of our guys accountable. Maybe Coach Anderson knew that by benching Roberts and Champagnie that he was giving Georgetown the game, but he did it with a purpose in mind. I know that’s a reach, but in order to hold players accountable, you have to have consequences for actions.

We are lacking 3 point shooters. There have been enough games played that we can all see that it’s not just an opponent thing. We can’t shoot. That said, it puts us in an all too familiar situation, because traditionally, we haven’t hit the 3 point shot.

And for you youngins, this goes back even to the Lou Carnesecca days. Many felt the game had passed him by and pushed hard for him to call it a career.

Calls to mind another great motivator.

I don’t know what kind of motivator Lavin was, or any coach is.

But I’m sure you do.

So when you said

"we want a coach who holds all of our guys accountable. Maybe Coach Anderson … by benching Roberts and Champagnie … did it with a purpose in mind … in order to hold players accountable"

You weren't talking about the coach motivating the players, motivating being defined as "to provide with an incentive or a reason for doing something." Interesting take.
