Yes, you want consistency. But you do not want consistently moving screens with feet and elbows way apart and letting that go, just in the name of consistency.

I've found in watching, and weathermannyc will agree, Connecticut, but even Nova and Creighton, engage in moving screens constantly. Almost never called. Lost art in the modern era of BB???

Spent time with two die hard Uconn fans yesterday. They are really nice people and because of my crazy St. John's fandom, they both root for us, with one BIG exception.

They are both very worried about this game. They see a revved up St. John's team on a big roll and a Uconn team that has looked pretty ordinary at times. They think Karaban is in a funk.

I really liked hearing how worried these two fans are; I am not sure this is typical among the more assholery Uconn fans.

Some of the posts I’ve read on boneyard they expect to beat us. They feel they matchup well against us.

…And that’s why we play the games…

That’s what fans do, am sure they feel the same about our predictions.

Torvik has UConn favorites at less than a point.

I wouldn't let any of these lines rattle our confidence in today's game. I give slight edge to UConn based on homecourt, a week to prep and hypothetically get Diarra/McNeeley healthy.

But it's going to be a good one...

#78 said it. Their perimeter defense has been bad all year.

Betting lines don't mean s*, you still gotta play the game. We're going to go in there and walking out with e win. We're road warriors.

I just hope the refs aren't Hurley's bitches tonight and kiss his ass.

Keys to the game:

If SJU scores more points than UConn, there's a good chance we're going to win.

With 3 seconds...

The Hurley comments about watching Gladiator are hilarious. Trying to get calls already. I mean he grew up on the genteel streets of Jersey City, New Jersey.

Line up to 4.5 at some places. Guess people think we're overdue for a bad performance.

Rick isn't going to let that happen.

Gotta get this and get more separation from UConn. Just how I am, always thinking separate ourselves as much as possible now, then less to worry about later this month and in March.

Keys to the game? That's simple.
The refs.

I can't get last year at UConn out of my head.

We had a nice little lead early 2nd half.
Then for some reason there was a delay in the game, and Hurley nwas in the refs ear the whole time. Right after that everything went UConn's way. No one is going to convince me otherwise.

Really wish there was a way to investigate these freaking refs and fire the bastards who cheat or atleast a long suspension.

Will our “violence” tonight be incredible, undetected or punishable by the Barney Fife of Storrs PD?

 

[paultzman]

He would not be my choice for air traffic controller gig;

Usually a good call.

Great question...

Big East bent Rick and Kull over, denying us the option of playing on campus in Queens.

Meanwhile, they permit Hurley and YUKON to play us at Gampel, an on campus arena with 6000 fewer seats.

Val Akerman needs to go.

I thought for sure we’d be seeing Donny Marshall and Jim Calgoon at the Mic. Fox turning into the Yukon vision network. So hearing Gus Johnson screaming at us doesn’t sound too bad.

Why wasn’t it just last week we had Yukon Saturday night with a doubleheader Women’s and Men’s game. Maybe tonight Kara Wolters or Geno Auriemma can make a special appearance detailing last night’s tragic loss to Tennessee.
