Probably similar to what we have now. The difference between the two groups of players is that Hatten's teammates couldn't shoot straight, but they played defense. This group doesn't play defense, but they have a few decent shooters. This is a soft team. They don't get after it. They by and large don't play hard enough to win.This team has only lost one game to a team that they could/should have beat. They are playing hard. They get after it. Have you forgotten the Rutgers game already?I went to the St.Francis game, and to the Niagara game. They only won those games because those teams were cold down the stretch from outside. Mussini and Johnson don't guard shooters. When I say get after it, I mean play defense like you mean. This team doesn't, with the exception of maybe 2 or 3 players, some of the time, they just stand around on defense. Why, I have no idea.

If you're trying to say that St.Francis and Niagara don't have very good shooters, I agree, but should that be an excuse for allowing them to take wide open shots? It's a bad habit that needs to be broken. Mussini and Johnson raise their hand and wave casually in the direction of the shooter instead of actually playing defense. Watch for it tomorrow. Maybe the result will be enough to encourage Mussini to stop doing it. Johnson, I really don't care. He's not interested in hustling. If it were possible to inspire him to hustle, he'd be doing it by now.
Saw this tweet from Dave, I assume, today via @Johnny_JungleIf the NCAA was to clear LoVett for competition the best case scenario would be sometime between 1st and 3rd conference game. #sjubb

Amir prepped first half of the season and played first game of the 2nd semester.

It is difficult to project any return date until he is deemed eligible. SJU can't push the envelope on that from my view.

SJU can't push the envelope on that from my view.I've followed the BE for a long time. I've never heard of a player's first semester having anything to do with his second semester eligibility. It doesn't make any sense. Either he's eligible to play like everyone else is, or he isn't.

It doesn't make any sense. Either he's eligible to play like everyone else is, or he isn't. In any event it appears we'll know soon if the NCAA will reconsider his current Partial Qualifier status, as a result of whatever data (assume his first semester grades) SJU submits. All we can do is wait.
I actually see this very similar to Amir Garett's situation. He wasn't eligible first semester, he busted his butt in prep and became immediately eligible first game 2nd semester.

If that's the case here, then the NCAA would just be making LoVett wait because they feel like it.
I think the NCAA is willing to compromise and yes it is unusual.They have already deemed him to be a partial qualifier but they acknowledge serious opposition to their ruling so I think they are essentially compromising with Lovett and SJU.
