    St. John's fires Mike Anderson / hires Rick Pitino

    Where is St. John’s getting the $$$ to pay good money to Pitino for six years and to buy-out Anderson? I know they are trying to get out of the Anderson buy-out by claiming cause. I don’t see a way St John’s wins without hurting itself.

    St. Francis (NY) dropping athletics

    Sad for the students and alumni, awful for the current athletes. I assume this is a last ditch attempt to save the college from going under, ala Cazenovia College.

    what an effort by BC

    I’m all for the announcers mocking the lack of BC fan support and laughing about Swider (I believe) asking the SU fans to get louder.

    Invoices are posted

    I’m wondering if/ hoping the donation portion of the ticket increase is earmarked for future renovation that would make the dome ADA compliant and replace benches with seats that contain cup holders in specific areas.

    Semi-OT: I went to the Palestra last night

    I walked to Penn last weekend from downtown Philly to check out the campus and the Palestra. The Palestra looks like every other campus hall. It’s unique compared to other arenas; non-descript compared to the rest of the campus. I took my daughter on a self guided tour at Villanova. She...

    Wake Forest Game...

    Szmyt is supposed to be a very good kicker. No problem with FG attempt. Babers decision to accept penalty and clock management at end of first half was atrocious. Let’s get a TD here!!!

    Coaching Lost the FSU Game

    The fact that the game was close was on coaching staff (clock management, poor special teams, and play calling). We put ourselves into position for the refs to screw us and lose the game (the game should have gone to OT). Not the first time we’ve seen either issue this year or previous years...

    Wildhack

    If this keeps happening, SU needs to ask what we’re getting with Wildhack. - still being treated like second class citizens in ACC. - allowed issues to build up in women’s basketball. - is any program significantly better off since his tenure started? Several have gotten worse or stagnated at...

    Can we talk about AG for a second...

    AG often lets his offense impact his defense. That's a major no-no in JB's world. I also think AG has been hurt by the loss of practices, where bad habits are corrected.

    Is my take wrong? (it's not)

    It would be the equivalent of the Nuggets retiring Danny Schayes’ jersey. Schayes had more career win shares but didn’t spend his career in one location.

    Is my take wrong? (it's not)

    Hinrich has the most win shares (basketball-reference.com) of the group mentioned / anyone drafted in 2003-2005 from the six teams. He had over 52 win shares; eighth among 2003 draftees. He was a solid all around player for several years compared to a long time role player (Collison) and a...

    Who is going to the Cuse NIT game tonight vs Siena

    Pearl as a 13 seed?? Carmelo as a 6 seed? They should have only included our players during ACC years if they are going to disrespect our top past players. Site not worthy of my clicks.

    Student attendance

    My idea SU sets up student tickets in 2 season pass blocks. First semester and break is first come first serve seating in student section. Second semester - prime seats are reserved seats based on total game time spent at the game, games attended, and seniority. The school can set a minimum...

    NCAA Rule Change extends 3-point line

    I think it depends on our wings and their ability to cover space quickly. I think JB will double down on length and athleticism on the wings in recruiting (for however long). As far as this year, Dolezaj covers a great deal of space as a wing if he gets to play there. Hughes covers space but...

    PSU uh oh?

    Why isn't Duke better?

    Reddish hasn’t made shots in a while, is not good off the dribble, and is a subpar defender. He is Knox 2.0 - maybe the pros will unlock his potential. Jones, Goldwire, and White can’t shoot. Their bigs must cover for their non-Jones/Goldwire perimeter defenders. Williamson and Bolden are...

    Our resume is concerning

    NC State will tell us how much the committee factors in NET rankings vs RPI. Under the old system, NC State would have little to no chance. They played hot garbage out of conference except for a couple games (Wisconsin, Auburn, Penn State). Their in-conference schedule was worse than SU's and...

    Lunardi’s Monday bracket

    If history is a guide, NC State may need to win 2 games in ACC tournament. Their 353 out of conference ranking is a big issue. When SU has been left out when on the bubble, we’ve been dinged for either poor OOC strength or poor OOC wins along with subpar OOC strength.

    If Pitt was a person...

    If Pitt was a man, he’d be Chad “Ocho Cinco” Johnson. If Pitt was a woman, she’d be Kathy Griffin. - Good at their profession in his/her heyday but more hype than quality - Dying for attention - Trying to crawl out from the pit of despair and stay relevant.

    Legacy over Money

    I’m not taking the decision from the kid and his family. I’m pointing out that a legacy, as Anthony Davis points out, can have long term value over the short term money gain.

    Legacy over Money

    Lawrence Moten was never going to be a top 5 pick like Dion (and Anthony Davis). If he left after three years, he would have made the same NBA money without the SU legacy. Kids that are guaranteed lottery picks should leave. My point is the degree and an SU legacy with subsequent connections...

    Legacy over Money

    Anthony Davis’ quote should be the response to why kids should stay at SU instead of going pro unless he is absolutely ready. An SU legacy is a big deal. For example - Battle has a chance to be in top 3 leading scorers if he returns next year. Is building a SU legacy worth an outside shot at...

    CT Ethics Officials Rip "Edsall Law" As Example of why Government is Not Trusted

    What a mess! Edsall still hasn’t signed his contract. Hard to determine worst outcome - 1). Allow nepotism within the state bylaws while tacking on another 100k for Edsall’s services. 2). Losing your new head coach right before the season starts immediately following a Greg Robinson like tenure.

    McD’s - Bazley

    Bazley reminded me of Tayshaun Prince. Solid overall game. This is not a game where he will stand out. They had him playing the 4 and sometimes the 5 in man. If he plays in Pros, it will be as a 3 unless he gains 30 pounds of strength. I don't see him as a freshman phenom. I hope people...

    If Virginia tech wins

    Remember what Babers asked of the fans?

    My concern with Babers is this is a coach system. If he leaves (even after 1 year), we are set back another five years. I have faith in his word. I foresee good times ahead. Go SU!!!
