Excellent breakdown of the game, Pat. So glad we escaped with a W, despite 42% from the line and terrible shooting from Sim and Scott. Would like to see more of Prey and Glover!

Thanks Rich! Didn’t play perfect (or close to it) and still found a way! I think we’ve got some really good freshmen here waiting to get more run this year and next.

Another great analysis, Pat. Yes, it wasn’t pretty, but a win is a win is a win. And this was usually the kind of loss we would experience!

Thank you Tony! Let’s keep it rollin!

You are spot on Pat! Glover's 3 was the biggest moment of the game for me, he has been relentless in his few minutes this year. And like you said, I love Vince's effort, but he is not ready yet for the minutes he is getting and Prey breaking out. Prey may be my favorite player rn, so composed and I never seen a big man get so low in a defensive stance against a guard. Even his missed free throws I felt were more unlucky than nerves. If Wilcher can learn to be more of a facilitator and go strong to the rim (like Smith) when his shot is not falling that would be a huge step for him. Love his growth so far, just want him to become more of a positive impact kinda like Scott when they are off their game. Very happy with the win, and I had a feeling we were going to win despite being down big in the 1st half (which has not happened in years). This team, despite driving me nuts at times like a typical St.John's team, feels different. The effort is there and they seem to play more as a team compared to other years. Thanks for letting me rant as always Pat!

Thanks as always Mike! I think this year is Sim’s year to focus on his shooting and scoring and playing off of our two great facilitators. Hopefully next year he can take a leap in the playmaking department! Glover should be able to step into Simeon’s role next year. Hoping that Prey can take a leap and then the following year take over for Zuby…who speaking of we are going to have to pay very very well this summer!
