Dan Stacks and St John recap

St John was too big, fast and strong for us. Rick Pitino said it himself. " We played our best this year." There was a little spark that had fans excited for a little bit. Then, DePaul would just get dismantled against St John's defense. We need to have games like these because it shows you're beatable. It also shows the competition in the Big East. We still have to play everyone else in the Big East. I'm not worried at all. If Providence beats St. John; that means we can compete against St. John on another night. Layden Blocker played his best game of this season. He was the only answer. Attacking the paint, creating open looks, playing spectacular defense. Any person from 1-9 can give you a spark. That's what so good about this team. Reminder, this is the first year they're all playing with each other. 8-3 on the season. Yes, two losses coming from " good teams" but we still have a schedule to prove we can win. Northwestern saturday, then Uconn New Years day, Marquette, etc. Our starting lineup has to see one of these players. Cj Gunn, Layden Blocker, or NJ Benson. When we attack the paint, we win basketball games. All three player can achieve that. When we hit shots, we win game. Cj Gunn can do that from all three levels. I think these guys can bring more energy towards the starting lineup. Making us more dangerous as a whole. Listen, we've been struggling a lot, so a little change won't hurt right?
