2021-2022 Schedule

[SJU14]

We need to get back in the Mix to have OOC dates with Major Programs .  Would Creighton come to play in MSG , when Pandemic lessens ? How about UCLA ? Kansas ? Loyola Chicago ? Duke , Syracuse , etc .  Even if sone of the OOC games are losses , it helps the RPI , SOS, etc 

Creighton?

Creighton?

For some reason I think he meant Gonzaga but I shouldn’t play mind reader.

Would love to see the Syracuse rivalry renewed as well. Boeheim's scared though.

Why?  Amar graduated and is playing pro in Europe.

Also, for those interested in the pre-season tournaments, this site updates once teams are announced.

That's where I started too but like most of these sports blogs it's likely a part time endeavour.  To supplement Orlando field has been announced, albeit maybe indirectly.

It would be great to get a Conzaga  to play us in the Garden . It wouldn’t matter if we lost as it improves the SOS and RPI regardless . Unless it’s a blow out . We need to be scheduling the UCLA , Kansas , Loyola Chicago  rather than the Cupcakes like St Peter ‘s , Rider , etc . LaSalle . St Francis ,  And , never schedule St Thomas Acquinas again .  They hold a Series edge over us . 1-0 . Syracuse would be excellent , Duke , UNC, etc.   I doubt Boeheim , at this point in his career is afraid of playing anybody . He’s a great Coach regardless of past dislikes .

Since he's doubled down I can only assume that an announcement of Creighton going back to the MVC in the wake of McDermott's plantation debacle, and losing their entire top 5, is coming sometime this week.

St. John's is finalizing opponent and date next season to play the first ever basketball game in UBS Arena in Elmont, per AD Mike Cragg. UBS Arena will be the new home of the New York Islanders

Zacb B response: “One possibility I've heard is playing the Big 12 Challenge in this game. Nothing set yet. #sjubb”

Nice. Would like to see us play several home games there and MSG, and a couple in Barclays.
We are NY’s team.

The Elmont arena surpassed Barclays the second the first ounce of concrete was poured.

Except the fact that an NBA team with 3 superstars plays at Barclays so it has plenty of cache in the bball community.

Funny, my daughter who visited us over the weekend and lives in Brooklyn not too far from Barclay was saying they've noticed that the immediate area around the arena has gotten progressively nicer over the last couple of years, no doubt spurred by the increasing popularity of the Nets and Brooklyn in general.

NC--I live within a walking distance to the Barclay and agree with your daughter's assessment; plus the food at the Barclay is some of the best for an arena.  If only that had the original Coney Island hotdogs from Feltman's rather than Nathan's.

Two things you can count on every year

Taxes and us playing St.Peter's.

With younger people Brooklyn is the cooler than Manhattan. Even areas that were not necessarily places you wanted to be in the 60's and 70's are hot places to live now. Take Bushwick for example. Or East Williamsburgh and Greenpoint, but also Crown Heights and Fort Green. Not necessarily attributable to the Barclay's but that certainly did not hurt especially the neighborhoods nearby.

I've only been to Barclay's once and it was fun, but I will still take the Garden over it for all of the memories the Garden carries for me.

I would like to see Iona on the schedule.
 

Higher conference schools, like SJ, usually don't like to schedule local lower conference schools that are good for fear of losing.  I remember a recent loss to LIU that stung.

St. John's will host NJIT as part of its 21-22 non-conference schedule. Game is currently set for November 27th.
