So hopefully people will cut Hop some slack after tonight.

Each game he looks a little more comfortable and definitely made some decisions about rotations and player minutes that we wouldn't think came from JAB. Montana State is not a good team but it was definitely good to see the ball go down low and feed the beasts. More than anything I liked seeing Lydon play extended minutes at the four tonight.

Elaine: Kramer? What are you doing here?
Kramer: Well, I'm, I'm dominating.

But there will always be the stain of losing to a lousy St. John's team on our home court.

Well played

Ehhhhhhhhh, we won. I thought the rotations were awful in the first half (AWFUL) - but I did like seeing the bench utilized a bit.

yeah all of a sudden we had Joseph, Howard and Obokoh out there at the same time. Seems to be all or nothing with Hop and getting bench guys some run.

I think at one time in the second half we have those three plus Richardson and Lydon. Not my first choice but it was the perfect situation to try it.

We're not going to finish the season strong playing only seven guys. Malachi and Lydon are freshmen, and they're bound to hit a wall at some point.

Cut him some slack? That's just silly. Everybody knows you're only as good as the last 5 minutes you've coached.

I never understood us whining about bench players. I think Hop foresaw it coming when he didn't sub second half last game . I think he did it on purpose.

This is the most bench time we have seen in maybe 3 years, arguably 5.
I laugh that we cut JB all that slack but will pile on Hop.
