DePaul wins at Marquette.

SH loses close one at home to Nova. Arcidiannoying makes crafty play to score at crunch time. Kid gets on my nerves with his flopping, but he is a kid you like when he is on your team. Give me a solid college player like him for four days over guys who leave early & don't do squat in NBA.

Respect Nova greatly, but when they lose Ochefu they are vulnerable. SH got him in foul trouble & almost stole one.

with DePaul's win Johnnie's firmly in last place "oh the pain" apologies to Joe Benigno

As for Archduke he definitely is a pain for other teams. I remember being at the Pavilion for his freshmen game against St.John's and he matched DLo, both with 30 point games. This was a brutal loss snatched from victory when Amir was late to a spot and foolishly fouled Hilliard on a missed three resulting in a 4 point play which tied the game late. Led to OT loss. Meanwhile Archy just keeps playing and winning games.

Fwiw I was at that game too, and Dlo had 36, Arch had like 20 I think. Also, that "foul" on Amir Garret was complete BS and we would've won if the refs didn't bail out Nova on that call.

He scored 32 against us in his first Big East game, matching the record which had been set by Moe Harkless in his first Big East game.

A second half Tech on Branch for "throwing" Arch to the floor was not much of a help either.

I just realized why I am a St John's fan - I purge almost all of these painful losses from my memory completely
 
We are more than half way through this season and SJU's 3 point proficiency matches Nova's at exactly 32%.

It's meaningless, but shows that Nova's can win the BE regular season title with 3 point shooting equal to the last place team.
 
Grown continues its never ending Jekyll and Hyde act under JT3 and completely fold down the stretch and lose to UConn
 
Former SJU target Mav Rowan looks terriffic today vs Duke. A poor man's Grayson Allen with maybe a chance to be just as good.

I havnt seen Maverick play for ncstate but I think of Allen as a freak athlete. How do you see them as similar?

Outside shooting and driving and agree Mav not the athlete Allen is.
 
Creighton, a surprise BE team this year, gets a good home win over struggling 2&5 Butler. Transfer Maurice Watson is a quality PG for Creighton.

I keep saying that Butler will turn it around (they have had a very frontloaded schedule), but they need to start winning at some point.

Huge PG problems.

Very true, Seems Lewis can't stay healthy and the backup commits fouls by the bushel. Another example of the value of the PG, Jones can handle but he is not a point.
