I met a guy with a Blue Jays shirt on this morning in Publix and told him that we were going to beat them today. I'm glad that I was right!

 

[Larry Wright]

Huge win
Free throws have to get better
I am officially on Richmond bandwagon
Have to pick one of Vince/ Prey only play one
I vote Vince
Play Lefty no more Ayo
Luis one of the best players we have had since Hardy

 

[SJUWillRockNYC]

Great win. Smith healthy. Regular season title within reach. Everyone can now relax lol

Not my nature to relax.

 

[Marillac2]

Great win. Big minutes from the bench…even my guy Vince.

 

[SJUWillRockNYC]

22-4 and we can't hit free throws or three pointers.

Atleast we were 33% today.

 

[Silly Donovan]

Lots of up and downs with RJ but he makes his fair share amount of winning plays like that at end of games

Without RJ we lose the game.

 

[dk423]

Hope the committee doesn't discount this win like they did with Seton Hall/UConn last year because of Clingan missing part of the game.

Either way, the team has to work on free throws. But the three point looks are a lot better than they were a month ago. I'm getting optimistic we can get to 33% consistently.

 

[Mullins Revenge]

What a rebounding performance by Luis.

A typical st johns win. Wasnt pretty but we got the W.

Big East regular season champs is ours barring a huge collapse.

Without RJ we lose the game.

Him and Richmond are our engine.

Is Glover hurt? Not sure why Ayo is getting burn over him.

 

[SJUWillRockNYC]

2 game lead and now going to DePaul, should win there.

Just respect all opponents.

Happy with the win obviously, but not too much to take away from this one. Kalkbrenner missed some critical minutes and who knows how this game goes if he doesn't get hurt.

Defense was decent, not great, and we got fortunate they missed so many open 3s. I also thought we were the beneficiary of some calls and the way the game was officiated overall. They allowed some physicality that not every crew does. Could say we win even more comfortably if we just made some more FTs but seems like this is becoming a trend now.

Happy with the win but still lots to improve on.

I tend to agree, I too am hoping for more in terms of play but obviously a huge win and a two game cushion in the BE. On to DePaul……

 

[Strout]

Fanta loses man card for even bringing up willis reed/ kalkbrenner

 

[sjc88]

Helluva game. Respect Creighton a lot. St. John’s is a show right now. Must watch TV. Is it pretty? Is it perfect? No. They put us through the wringer but they give us everything good or bad. Highly entertaining team. Love them. 22-4 13-2. Wow.

Kalkbrenner missed 5-6 minutes

 

[Go Red Storm]

Nice win. Sooner or later this horrendous free throw shooting will come back to haunt you. CLEAN IT UP!!!!!!

More importantly you were in Publix and not the hospital

 

[L J S A]

I don't want to see these guys again.

You mean 33% on free throws, right?

Creighton actually played well when Kalkbrenner was out. His absence didn’t hurt them. It was a one point game.
