Cooks poor play last night had NOTHING to do with Ray...He was forcing shots, throwing the ball away and was generally out of control. Estrada was ok. And yes of course it's goingto be a long OOC because it was PLANNED to be! Do you LISTEN to Speedy's presser last night. This team has NINE new players, it will take TIME to JELL.Polito wrote:Garbage. Just like that HU falls right back. Exactly what you fear, Ray returns and no one does jack squat. Bad coaching, bad leadership, bad play.
These 3 guards need to figure out how to play together off each other - instead Ray’s presence totally derailed them. Cooks nothing Estrada nothing.
And like I said, no interest in another 3 point bombing team that has no other way to win. Cmon Speedy you and TP better be a whole lot better than that. That crap doesn’t win championships. Will be really bored if that’s their continued strategy from JM. Hope they’ve learned to balance their roster next time and have more in the post and more than the deep ball.
Totally deflating loss getting beat by Iona yet again. Prob not beating them until Pitino is gone. Very very disappointing. Burgess regressed and Cramer, as I feared, continues to underwhelm.
Yawn. Expect a lot better. Sure hope this isn’t going to be another JWF deal where no one does anything and Ray is all they depend on. This is why no one knows or talks about HU, continued failures to gain name making wins - beating Pitino would’ve been something - and why the Houston choke was big. Iona owning this city along with St John’s until this program figures out how to step up.
Gonna be a long OOC if they don’t show up better, esp on D. You wanna do nothing but chuck 3s then you better play some killer D.
Weak sauce Speedy and staff and team - better come correct against UMD and UR or gonna get run out of the gym.
Why are you so quick to THROW EVERYONE under the bus after 3 games...I respect your passion but perhaps you should chennel it into some postives.
You keep carping about the program and its lack of resources, and willingness to invest in success...HOW DO YOU KNOW?
As they say, SHOW ME THE MONEY...do you know what we spend? How it compares to IONA, St. John's etc.
Go out and raise some money and earmark to HOOPS...then you might actually MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
