Let's effing go
-
Rebounding well early.
-
playing well together, you can see the coaching on both ends
nice energy too
-
Hausen is feeling it.
-
damn cj jones blocking that dunk attempt
-
the drop off with the subs is a large one
-
Hawkins has a really good drive but is one of the worst drive finishers we have had in a while.
-
Hausen should be shooting 80-90 percent from the line.
-
We are treating the storm like Patino railing a waitress on a table.
-
This is fun to watch.

Scene report: these guys started making jokes about Hausen being an accountant and it has dropped off a bit

An angry Long Island Italian screamed to take out Hausen's knees
-
Also JHR aka DOB is in the house

good lord, rusty always delivers with the live coverage. our ad money doing work
-
Rebounding needs to get back to first half level.
-
And we're fouling.
-
Not a great start to the half!
-
Welf
-
Definitely people in the crowd saying "Let's go Redmen"
-
Suddenly, can't do anything. Need a score beside Hausen and get a body on Zubie, for eff's ssadesz.
-
Getting killed by not helping on ball screens (and having no plan for what happens next)
-
Tough to watch this half. This team has some talent but they look like it's the first time they've played together.
-
On pace to give up 60 in the second half, that's not ideal.
-
are we not talking about Tang's sweater?
-
Going into half knowing that they would primarily focus on shutting Hausen down and not coming out of half with an answer to that is wild.
Also, I am worried that we just simply can’t trust Dug this year. Being without an active consistent PG is not good.
-
Have to play D and rebound to get back into this.
-
luckily those are this team's biggest strengths

This game was lost on the defensive boards. Maybe Dug is inconsistent but Max and CJ are -- and consistently give us nothing.

Man the cats are so bad even 'fried stopped posting
-
CJ Jones had a pretty amazing foul out
-
This is not recoverable.
At least we're a baseball school now.
-
We seem to be a collection of bit players, shouldabeens, and role players without any primary players.

CJ's day, 0-7 fg, 0-2 from 3, 0-1 FT, 1 rb, 1 assist, 5 foul. By all means, keep starting him Tang.
-
Hopefully that will be our worst half of basketball this season.

The top half of the B12 will do similar damage to us
-
I think we can probably cool it with the “still early, meaningless games, blah blah” and just accept that this team is incredibly un-good (at basketball)
-
The nice thing about sucking when your team is full of mercenaries that you don’t know much about is that it’s very easy to just stop caring. The bad thing is that when your team is full of mercenaries it’s very easy for them to stop caring and pack it in.

Naw kenpom, the NET, and all of us are just wrong.

For sure. Aggressive bigs and quick guards are going to take us for a ride every time.

Everyone who is decent is going to kill us. We’re in for a Wooly-type conference record.

$18.7 million to buy the dude out this year.

No way Gene gave him 6 years fully guaranteed coming off an NIT season?

i expect a season very similar to oscar's last in 21-22 that was 14-17 (6-12). Honestly, i don't know what I would do if i am Tang, the old school way would be to bench Hawkins, Jones, etc and go young but not sure build for next year works in the age of NIL

i went out to do the leaves in my backyard and came back to us being down 17 lol

If we just kept Cam and Dai Dai this would be a completely different looking team.

I would probably trade them for any newcomer

CJ Jones for Cam is definitely a choice.

So, game report
I was glad the game was at Carnasseca because it's like a big high school gym. it's It's way out in Queens and far from any subway so while technically in New York City the neighborhood feels more like a shitty Long Island suburb. Here's a mailbox near where we parked

The fans were complete assholes in my section. Imagine a Long Island Yankees fan supporting a team that hasn't won anything. The guy in the sweatshirt I assume idolized Joe Pesci movie characters and would stand to scream at refs or plays and like spread his ass cheeks while he did it? The sweatshirt said "Redmen" on the front.

I mention that they seemed obsessed with calling Hausen an accountant or management consultant. (I have my guesses as to why they did not direct this insult towards the worst player on the court, CJ Jones). One guy said Hausen was "slower than the Q46" which is the bus line that runs by campus. I appreciated it even if he had probably used it before. I heard the refs refer to as "Stripes" (which l liked) and "blue" (this isn't a Yankees game jackass).
On the actual game, the defense was bad for that second half run. I didn't know if Hawkins us lazy or hurt or what but not having him help on ball screens was brutal for the defense as a whole. Honestly other than that and a few Hausen fadeaway 2's I didn't have much issue with how they played, but the failure to adjust at all the first 10 minutes of the second half just like us.
Thoughts on the roster:
Dug is fine but didn't create much
Don't mind Max Jones
I honestly felt bad for CJ Jones, one of the most spectacularly bad follows foul out games I've ever seen
Nguessen very solid. I think it shows that he's pretty much the only one that got minutes here last year
Was surprised at how small Castillo was when he went in and it made me understand why he doesn't play much. Wouldn't be able to hang physically today
Hausen had an amazing first half obviously. He only forced it a little but sju did a nice job adjusting
Achor looks pretty skinny and didn't do much
Ugonna Onyenso was fine
I don't quite understand what we're doing with Hawkins. Admittedly the big guy for SJU was a tough matchup for him
I liked Tang's sweater because it was very silly

After the game we went to a great German restaurant and they had an adjoining "Pork Store" that sold German magazines.

Also quite a few "Johnnies" fans came up and talked to us at the restaurant bar while we waited on a table. They were older and nice and had great long island accents.
Also probably ~100-150 EMAW at the game, not bad!

That's not going to change soon. We struck out on all the five star recruits we had visit, so if we sign a high school kid it will be someone obscure. It will be back to the portal, but hopefully retain a few of this year's guys. Shooting guard and small forward studs should be priority.

When I saw the guy with the tee shirt worn over a long sleeved shirt I immediately recognized him as an enjoyer of music

CJ Jones had a pretty amazing foul out
St. John's fans on camera seemed really irrational about it too. "eff you bitch"
"Get the eff outta here, bitch"

I mean both of those dudes left on their own

I was speaking to his entire performance but yeah the fans also seemed to hate him. There was a bit of light crap talking and/or dirty looks but pretty benign on the court if you ask me
