Nova Game

Why was Ron and Johnson in til the end?

The amount of unforced turnover is what bothers me the most. I can deal with not shooting well and losing because we don't have the talent but if we just didn't hurt ourselves by throwing the ball away so much this is probably a 5 point game down the stretch. Only a couple times this year have I got really frustrated with the teams play because I know this team was thrown together but watching them toss the ball over each others heads is like something you see in cyo, can't happen.

Because sadly, they were the only ones able to score the ball. The freshman should be out there, but in order to keep them out there they gotta stay out of foul trouble, and they're simply not able to do that.

I don't at this point anyone is happy with what Johnson and M'vouika have brought to the team, but they have 8 players. We can't bench them. There is no one else.

Just curious we on pace to have the worst season in school history or have there been worse ones? As I see it now we can easily be 0-13 going into DePaul which itself is not even a sure win at this point.

I hate to criticize any college player but Balamou is beyond awful. Forget what Lavin did with red shirting or not. Kid just is not a big east player. I am happy he stuck it out and will get a ton of playing time his last year, but I can't wait till upper class men are gone.

Not saying wood is good. He would still be our starting SG. Compared to Ellison, he is Kobe Bryant .

Compared to Ellison he's about 5 years older. Petty facts

He is the back up SG on the 9th place team and he is better then our starter . What is petty about that? I hope we beat DePaul. I think it is a bad matchup.

If he sucks, why did he did he earn a redshirt? 5th year scholarships are earned. You say he sucks and wish him gone. I agree. Not sticking up for Lavin and not abusing Felix . The kid got a scholarship. Played 4 years and should graduate. Nothing wrong was done to him. If he was better he would have played more.
We all don't have to think the same. But this theory that Felix was abused is crazy. Felix should be able to graduate for free. And he will get a chance to play professionally. Geno, Alpha, and Marco B. Are playing for pay somewhere.

With all due respect Tony, I believe he got the fifth year at sju cause we needed bodies to fill a roster. Imo, he was exactly what was needed this year. A body and a upperclassmen.  I was as big a Lavin fan as his biggest supporters.  Been a fan of sju for 30 something years and came to sju to play a sport because it was a school I was a huge fan of.  My point is, the kid on any other roster would never play and shouldn't play. Regardless of earning a red shirt or not. To be honest imo, he was brought in to help recruiting to help the pipeline with the hs he came from.  At the time he came, I don't think it was a bad recruit. Kid just isn't a big east player.  If the kid plays professionally, I wish him the best of luck.
