Thoughts on Big East title game

I'm hoping to see more Silas and Malachi on the court together in all games but especially this one, it takes a lot of the burden off of Silas and he can play off ball. We can't have another turnover fest from him and this should help a great deal. Solo and Braylon start together but basically all their minutes after that should be staggered with one of them playing with Jayden.

Joson Sanon after struggling all season is playing his best ball and hitting his threes, he makes St. John's much more formidable. Jayden should be tasked with shutting him down.

Tarris and Zuby make their teams go. Whoever stays out of foul trouble will be a major factor in determining who wins.

I don't see either team running away from the other in this one. I expect a close game which likely comes down to the wire.

I like Silas and Malachi together as both can shoot it well. If one of Solo and Braylon are not even better. Solo played good D in the X game of course I watched him against All Wright

1) I have to think Pitino has something to take Mullins out. He had 9 and 11 the first two games. So we need Alex and Solo to shoot the ball.

2) Reed has to neutralize or beat Zubi.

3) I think Silas has our best game.

In that 1st game Mullins was hot early and then shut down after that. Whatever they did after those first few minutes is probably what they'll do tonight. The SJU fans around me were calling him Jimmy Chitwood. Time for a Jimmy Chitwood like final game.

1996 was the first year the final was on Saturday. It was the first year of a new contract where ESPN had the championship game (it was CBS for at least from when the tournament was moved to the Garden) and the move (entirely a cash grab, as all TV deals are) was criticized as at that time major conferences (and some mid-majors) always ended their conference tournaments on selection Sunday.
 
When the final was on Sunday it seemed like a bigger deal nationally. Now the SEC and B10 get that honor, just like in everything else.

This is an absolute beatdown. The times we got back into single digits was nothing more than a tease. Without Reed, SJU beats us by 30.
 
Interesting that all three meetings were beat downs, one way or the other. I’m still not sure how we kicked their ass by 30 points.

4- Establish Tarris's inside presence early.
5- REBOUND THE BALL.

What if we try none of those things?

Can’t tell me Mullins is NBA ready. 6-35 from three the last 5 games.

He made a comment after the last game that coach didn’t want any 17 footers. He was covered at the 3 so what is his option? He has to get stronger and be able to drive and score inside and he is not. I don’t see an NBA player but what do I know?
