Guys try to remember that last year Georgetown started out 0-2 in the BE last year with our second loss being a 28 point loss to Pittsburgh at the Verizon Center. Immediately after that game it was announced Greg Whittington was no longer eligible. Many people thought the year was over at that point.
St. John's can turn it around if it just makes some small adjustments:
1) Pick a starting line up and stick with it. I'd go with Jordan, Harrison, Pointer, Sampson, and Obekpa. Then i'd have Sanchez, Green, Hooper, and Branch off the bench in that order.
2) Press. St. John's should be playing the way Georgetown did in the first half. Press your opponent and attack quickly. St. John's needs to play to their strengths. They're athletic, but they don't have great shot makers. They cannot rely on their half court offense. They need to swarm on defense and let the shot blocker be your safety net. I don't think that's too much for Lavin. I'm not asking for an actual offense to be put in. Just attack attack attack on offense and defense. Just force turnovers, drive, and crash the boards.
