A lot of these guys(miller) lost their fastball when everyone became able to pay guys out in the open.

Marquette thought this would be easy…
Cintas Center crowd was quite the whole 2nd half and with 3 minutes left, well wow, almost all the seats in the camera shots are empty.
St. John's put the clamps on Xavier's offense and crushed them on the offensive glass.
To be fair to X, the lost their starting center who would have helped with their defense.

Georgetown being good is weird.
Yes. They got size and athleticism with some good guards that can make shots. Thomas Sorber is a potential BE FOY player and Liam McNeeley 's competition for that award.
Apparently cooley does not suck like many bone yarders believe

St. John’s is winning without making 3’s, I mean ANY 3’s.

They will be a challenge for us. They have the same “go right at you” approach that PC had … but more talent and better attacking the glass.

Xavier couldn't make an open 3 or even a midrange shot to save their lives and got out-hustled on the defensive boards. And although to a point they played good defense, they really didn't because they didn't close out possessions. Really disappointing effort by the Musketeers- at home no less. They did well when they clogged the paint and forced St. John's to shoot from outside but they were unable to sustain it. At some point you have to make shots. Conwell and Hunter were vitual no-shows.

And they have the glass.
I yelled "where's the foul?!" on that play as well.

never thought he sucked, I just thought he was a disingenuous fake ass that taught his PC players to run to the paint and fall over and put to get foul calls.

The staff needs to make our guys watch the tape of this game and show them they need to play with Marquette's intensity in the 2nd half.

Deep inside, Dan Hurley and Cooley want it just as bad

It’s really cool to see Pitino and Cooley seemingly start to wake up these sleeping giants in the conference.
This is the start, they’ll need to recruit real HS talent to fully be back like Hurley did. The transfers they have are good for now to have some in season success.

That game was a tossup with like a minute left and you guys playing only 7 guys on the road against Marquette. You guys are good, Sorber is such a stud.
I'm not a Cooley fan but the guy can coach.
