kob that was a patented christ the king play either norm ripped this one out of oliva's book or malik went throw back and put himself back in the purple and gold.  erv ran a few of those "catch them falling asleep" plays to ryan pearson the other night against rice.  i loved that.

i didnt think dj was bad at all, however it wouldve been VERY hard to have both him and paris on the floor tonight.

you can watch on the video recap where evans gets burnt twice on the half ass charge he tries to take either play defense or foul him hard and then he gets burnt on help defense leaves his man for easy two and thank god he didn't foul him there too.

Also I found John Rooke to be annoying to listen to most of this game anyone know anything about this guy?

I like Geno, but it hurt to watch how much he was a non-factor tonight.  He couldn't penetrate, couldn't shoot, he DID make lazy passes, and he wasn't great defending AJ Price (who went off).  I hate it when laptop thieves have good games.

I think Malik's assist numbers benefited from U Conn playing a little soft, but he showed me something with the probing and penetration.  But he needs to find some kind of shot/ offense.  Dude couldn't finish the chances he had.

I thought Justin committed before Malik.
All that being said, Malik needs to start playing at least 25 mpg.

he did but we knew he was coming

he did but we knew he was coming

also nice to see Geno feeding the post when he wasn't passing to Dyson...

We all like Geno...we are hard on him...but he has been a stand up guy for this program. 

I also agree about your comment on Malik(his numbers)...but the kid is a pit bull like Kob said...doesn't back down and doesn't stop playing until the clock hits zero(as evidenced by his steal with 5 seconds left).  He has earned playing time over Geno.  I think he has a decent enough jump shot to keep people honest.  Malik was also hacked big time on that breakaway...can't believe they didn't call it.

on the break justin running malik has the ball he outlets it to him just goes up and get fouled. a 3 point play. this is how the johniees should be playing in my opinion

I thought that was a hard foul by Adrien...nice composure by Justin...

Adrien is a punk and he needs to be Dele'd....finish what A. Spears started.

I can see why Malik doesn't start-- he has no scoring ability.  We never see his jump shot!  And what we have seen from him, well, he'd be another non-scorer out there.  That been said, Geno's in a serious slump and Malik will contribute more even without points.  Though he seems to thrive in a more uptempo game-- he won't have 7 assists playing the way St. john's usually does, slow and deliberate.

but thats the thing malik is and always will be a pass 1st point guard. he can hit a open shot and if u are not careful he can throw it on u. but his thing is pass and play d. and i love it and think we need more of that than anything.

Cant agree enough, bre.
Always loved Malik's game.
Let him play and the O goin smoove. Not perfect. But better.

GENO S%$#@ GET HIM OUT!!!!!!

How much longer do i have to subject myself too this, get geno and tomas OUT, when will norm realize we are better with malik in, probably when he gets fired (hopefully at the end of this season)

erick this was the Uconn thread we're playing depaul
