LJ losing his man and still can’t make a shot

His shot selection is putrid too often.

No coach has total control over what a player does. That's why guys get pulled. That's why players get yelled at. he's not 5 years old it was a bad play.

Agree. But the difference is somehow those players always seem to end up on St. John's. I've never seen a Villanova, Creighton or Butler player do that. And again it has nothing to do with talent.

You are going to far. The kid played his ass off. He took a bad shot. He isn’t a stupid player.

I have never questioned Rutherford's effort. I'm just saying that good teams don't do things like that. Lavin's teams did things like that all the time and it drove me crazy.

We have all been driven crazy by this program for the better part of the last 20 years. LOL

That’s true. They look much better tonight. Even though they have missed about 20 layups

Caraher is having a game
if he's on the court with multiple scoring threats he is a nice ball mover and facilitator.

Yes and yes

I hope you are right Tony, it really is pathetic. This program has not won a Ncaa tournament game since 2000 and has played on a Friday night of big east tournament since that year. That’s 20 years ago, long time ago.

I have been at every big East tournament since 2006 and all I want is to see this team play on Friday lol it’s sad....and it’s always the same convo “imagine this place on a Friday with St Johns playing” one day!! I hope

They really worked on d.

The offense reminded me of Norm Roberts’ hot potato offense. It’s incredible that there was ever talk of Greg Williams being a point guard. He might be the worst ball handler on the team. He can’t get by anyone. I hope he gets the training he needs over the summer. He can improve.

Well at least that looked a lot more competitive than the Pirate game.

He’s a soph who has now played both years in vastly different systems.

The talk was him getting there as a junior or most likely as a senior. I don’t think anyone thought he’d be playing the position solo for 35 minutes.

The kid is smart and athletic. He can get by defenders as well as anyone we have besides Dunn, but he isn’t anywhere near as reckless or out of control as Dunn. Unfortunately, he also isn’t as aggressive.
