As his players struggled to shut down the Wildcats' big three of Mike Bibby, Michael Dickerson and Miles Simon, coach Gary Williams let loose a series of tirades that left everyone sitting within earshot in a stunned -- and awkward -- silence. The language was disgusting. The disapproval was heartbreaking. I'll never forget the face of Laron Profit, at the time Maryland's best player, as he listened to his coach talk to him as if he were a prison inmate.
That Maryland lost was hardly a shocker; Williams all but psyched his men out. Lavin, however, has psyched his men in. Can St. John's go far in the NCAA tournament? The Red Storm are thin in most areas, lacking a true go-to scorer and far from unbeatable one doesn't lose to Fordham without a few flaws.

Virginia Tech's Greenberg said he's so taken with Wright's fashion sense that he compares him to the famously suave actor, George Clooney.
One of this year's new fashion stars is St. John's coach Steve Lavin. In January, when the team hosted Duke, Lavin took off his tie and slipped into white sneakers for a charity event. His team promptly rolled to an upset win. Ever since, Lavin has ditched the tie and worn bone-white Nikes that look like they belong at a nurse's station.
And Greenberg said Illinois coach Bruce Weber "has the greatest collection of orange ties in the history of college basketball. The coaching fashion scene isn't always docile. At a press conference earlier this season, Kentucky's John Calipari responded to a question about coaching attire to take a couple of jabs at rivals Pitino and Huggins.
Calipari suggested there had been a few suits he'd seen that made him want to gag. There was a gold suit that I saw—I don't know if it was yellow or gold—where the pants were too long.
