First up Mullin. Info sent to me from the school's SID
Mullin missed his time. Something he has done previously. Must have Gonzo disease. LOL
St. John’s Head Coach Chris Mullin…
On Seton Hall:
“It’s a big rivalry game. A lot of those kids are from the New York area. [We’re] at The Garden so we’re looking for a high-intensity, high-energy game. Seton Hall won in overtime last night and they have a lot of experience. It’s a big game for both teams.”
On Shamorie Ponds and how he’s handled his freshman year:
“Shamorie has played really well. I think the way he plays is the way he is off the court; very calm and collected. He’s a quiet kid who just goes about his business. He doesn’t get too high or too low. He’s got a really good demeanor and he’s just trying to improve every day. I don’t know if it’s because [the freshmen are] exposed a lot more, but you kind of forget how young they are because they’ve handled the big stage pretty well.”
On the youth and gaining experience:
“They’re gaining that experience and learning from it, more importantly. You’re going to have tough losses no matter what kind of team you have, but when it’s a young team you can really use [the tough losses] to learn from and try to carry it over to the next game. They’re starting to do that a little bit better and more importantly, they’re starting to gain trust and confidence in each other. The next step is when they believe in themselves and in each other, and I think we’re starting to get that a little bit.”
On the St. John’s-Seton Hall rivalry:
“Throughout the BIG EAST there are some rivalries developing and that comes with hard fought games. … Obviously, with Seton Hall being one of the original teams there is a lot of history and respect. I think it’s good for the league and good for the schools.”
