Throwing up 3's like they're the Harlem Globetrotters. Team and coaches struggling mightily tonight, against St. Freaking Johns.

Zero assists in the 2H on 5 made FG's.
Just one on one play.

That says it all. They need to start pounding it down low.

It looks to me like they are trying to go inside, but the Johnnies are denying them. This is causing them to settle for threes which they can't hit tonight.

Tre and JP look like the 2 worst players on the court tonight.
They are 2 for 14 from 3, 4 for 10 from 2 with 4 TO's by JP.

[Shucker]

No presence in the paint at all.
X is not even trying to get the ball inside at all!!

If they explore the inside several times and can't find a shot, which is hard to fathom considering the size and talent discrepancy with their respective bigs, I can understand the flurry of 3s, but many are shot 10-15 seconds into the shot clock.

St John's attrition has begun. Now up five with five and a half to play.

[mumuskie87]

Another TO by JP lets SJU cuts the lead back to 3.

SJU is just not going away to their credit

[Anti-Homer]

Has X played zone once all game? They cannot stay in front of any of their dribble drives. Mullins is having a good day.
