Dude on there has been hyping that Lakeem kid for a while.

And then there's the duke love, living in NC, you work for a newspaper by any chance?

lol, Hell nah I don't work for a newspaper. I work at IBM.

But been hooping with/knowing 'Keem since I was in HS playing ball at Camp Greene.

And shut up Kerlew.

i thought u was black dre?

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Anybody that thought St. John's was going to win today clearly hasn't watched them enough. This is a team that got blown out by a bad Boston Collegewith Justin Burrell and Mason playing, what makes you think they would win against a decent Va Tech team without those 2?

The only reason the score was so close was because Va Tech came out lackadaisically and Vassallo was playing like crap.

Pittsburgh is gonna go in there this year and really going to beat the crap out of us. Not looking forward to that beating.

Sad thing is this was probably the last winnable game for the next month. If we don't beat Providence on New Years Eve, God have mercy.

Doesn't it seem like FSU is always upsetting someone on these sunday night FSN games?

Lol, you act like we had a choice. Numerous games this season have not been televised in the NYC area.

They played well in the first half against Tech so why wouldn't one think they didnt have a chance to win?

You're a real optimistic dude

.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I may not be as optimistic as some, but I've seen this team plenty, I know what they're capable of, especially their inability to maintain a leadand adjust. When your 5 foot 9 pointguard is playing the whole game with a sprained wrist and continues to play poorly because he's winded, something iswrong.

I'm just tired of watching this team play well for 20 minutes and then fall apart, it happens all the time. As soon as they're down by 7, thegame's over because there isn't a proven scorer that can put this team on his back.

 

[allen3xis]

What I was saying today was...yall at least looked like you knew how to play basketball, how to attack a zone. The offense actually had a little flow to it.

With that roster Norm put out there today, they shouldn't have been within 30.



..
FSU had plenty of chances.

Had our chances

. We need another scorer to step upbesides TD in these big games

Yea there is def. an improvement from last year. And I'll give Norm some credit, he has done better job coaching (still bad) but withoutBurrell and Mase, we're going to be in for a long year. Justin should be back anywhere from Saturday to a month from now. The biggest weakness to thisteam, besides the lack of a prolific scorer, is a back up point guard. When your 5'9 point guard is playing 40 minutes a game, you're in a lot oftrouble.

And it's a damn shame Derwin Kitchen couldn't qualify for FSU. He has some real talent.

 

[jville819]

Kitchen is playing. He got his first playing time a few games ago. Leonard just doesn't think he is ready and is trying to bring him alongslowly cause of all the missed games.

I wish LH would play him a lot more tho. Outside of Toney he is our best slasher and knows how to get buckets. Dude was a monster in HS

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Oh shoot that's great to hear. SO he only had to sit out the first half of the season? He'll help you guys down the stretch.

 

[dacomeup]

Did anyone see Lance declare that going to Europe is not an option?

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Yea and I feel like a tool having like the last 4 posts in here, but St. John's is a serious option for Lance. It's really between us and Kansas, and Ithink we're gonna land him.

I agree.

I still would think if Self wants him enough tho, he could still pull him out there. But Norm seems to be doing everything he can.

 

[allen3xis]

Clemson, wow.

I'm impressed.

 

[dg kyrk 33]

Our FT shooting is horrendous. This team started drinking the KoolAid when we got ranked. Damn you Haith.

Sure was. Think the score was 75-73 or something around those numbers. I was in San Diego at the time staying at the Olympic Training Center and damn nearlost my mind at the Hooters downtown

 

[gottagitdemjs]

Well....the meat of our non-con schedule is coming up over the next couple weeks. We've lost 2 games that were absolutely our fault...aka...we should havewon them both (especially the UMASS game). We'll find out if we've improved any over the next couple weeks. I'll be happy with 3 out of 5, but 5out of 5 would be outstanding!

I think 5/5 would be a miracle.

OSU to complete that recruiting class with the boys on his AAU squad Sibert and Sullinger. I would be surprised to see him leave this area even if hedidn't go to OSU. I think he has a grandmother raising him that he's trying to stay close to. UC, UK, UD, and pretty much all of the schools in the bigschools in this area are on him hard too.

 

[allen3xis]

that OSU class would not be fair.
