Why can`t we just play somewhat better in the 1st half???
Instead of being down 12 at the half, maybe 5 or 6. Why can`t we press in the 1st half, and playing man against them killed us, all they were doing is layups. Then in the 2nd we always look better, but we need that in the opening 20 minutes.
I was in the 200s, all cuse fans up there, the look on their face looked like they were crapping themselves. To bad we couldn`t finish it.

So oh well, gotta move forward and to the next game.

Jimmy B has a losing record vs. Jay Wright. I think Jay understands how to attack that zone really well. If you guys had just hit 2 or 3 of your 3's...

Their front court is admittedly, really good. Fair is a big-time player. We'll have to do to them what we did vs. Kansas who also has that kind of size. If we don't turn the ball over I really like our chances. This team has shown the ability to take teams out of what they do well. Hopefully the older Ennis brother will impart his little brother's weaknesses to the rest of the team. :)
Go Nova!

I think it's going to start in a year or two get tougher playing Cuse just because that zone is something you just don't see as much- and kind of tough to prepare for on short notice. Kind of like the old John Cheyney matchup zone that gave a lot of teams all sorts of problems.

Glad I attended the game. St. John's put in a great effort and had a chance for the win. Met some solid St. John's fans.
