I feel so bad for the guy. He's been a great Hoya - sad to see it end this way and hope he has hit his books during his time on the Hilltop. I also hope people show up on Saturday and show him the appreciation he deserves, despite tonight's tough loss (and all of the others this year). Too bad tonight had to happen in his hometown.
Also have to add, from what I hear Sapp was initially benched for voicing displeasure at being taken out of a game. After what has transpired this season, I can't be mad at the kid for that. In my opinion, JTIII has really had a tough time with substitutions, setting a solid rotation. Guys need to feel loose out on the court and know they aren't going to get pulled for every mistake; esp. for guys like Nikita and Wattad who everyone knows are not Big East level talent.
I love III, and I think he'll figure it out. That said, this loss, and this season, is on him. We've got way too much talent for this. Just see what Gary has gotten out of far less talent up the street. Sad.
