If you think the players have just “regressed” you need glasses.

When your top guy goes out it takes time to adjust. We can’t blow every one out and score in the 80’s every game. I know we’ve been spoiled but we need to remember what we’re watching.

Really? You think Alex has taken a step forward? Hassan? Castle? Newton??

What are YOU watching???

Your negativity would be better received if we hadn't beaten multiple top 25 teams by double digits and if last year didn't exist. Until we start struggling regularly, there's no reason to treat this other than a bump on the road.

I am actually rarely negative. The last two games have been alarming. If you don't see that, I don't know what to tell you.

It’s a great win. To gut it out when shots aren’t falling. Won the second half by 10 points .

Castle made some big plays down the stretch and Sam was the player of the game. Led all scorers with 16 and kept Soriano in check.

Happy with this win and I know it feels good in the locker room right now.

No it doesn't. It just means we have really sucked the last two games.

Or our centerpiece has been removed from the equation and the big east doesn’t even look like basketball most nights due to games being reffed like it’s the 80’s.

Add to that we’ve struggled from 3 and you have some ugly basketball.

We won’t keep struggling the way we have from 3 and we’ll adjust to Clingan being out. Samson showed tonight against one of the better bigs in the conference that’s hes capable.

Add in second half Castle and we’re building. Trust the process. Enjoy the ride

It’s his fault for spoiling you.

Looked better against the zone in the second half but still needs work. Clingan is key piece against zone D’s with his passing and size, so it’s going to be a bit of a work in progress to get everyone to gel with Samson playing a very different role.

Samson stepped up though. Was really worried about the Soriano matchup and he knew where to be on offense and made it tough on Soriano all day on the other end. Heck of a game from him.
 
Ugly win, but tough wins help build chemistry.

Three semi-quick observations on our team:
1. Singare looked solid and played very hard, especially against that bulky veteran frontline. I swear he had a block against Soriano, but the box score shows zero.
2. Castle is contributing a lot despite his relative lack of scoring. He rebounds, passes, and defends well. That early 3pt. attempt looked smooth and rimmed out, but that one mid-range jumper late in the 2nd half was rough.
3. Surprised Stewart didn't get any PT. I would think his strong frame would be a good matchup against St. John's.
