As of today, St johns is on the cusp of an at large bid for the ncaa tourney?

[quote="Duke of Earlington" post=375067]Xavier beating seton hall today wasnt good for st johns. Now wed have to jump them too.[/quote]

It's actually great for St. John's. St. John's still has Xavier on the schedule for a home game, Xavier should get a big bump in the NET for a blowout road win against a team with a top 15 NET. If Xavier can win a couple more and get that NET into the 30's , and St. John's beat them at home (which should be favored in), it could possibly end up being a Q1 win.

Big East and/or St. John's fans should be rooting for teams like Xavier, Georgetown, St. John's, and DePaul to beat the upper echelon teams like Butler, Seton Hall, Villanova, and Creighton. These teams are a lock for the NCAA tournament only thing beating them hurts is their seeding, when the bottom Big East teams that I mentioned above beat those teams, they knock bubble teams in other conference out of the field, most notable the Big 10, who currently has 12 teams projected in the field, with several on the bubble.

[quote="Big Red" post=375053]I can recognize a beat down/ hopeless fanbase when I see one. I’m a new Johnny fan, but have rode with CMA throughout every stop. February is going to be fun guys. This is when his teams get hit and reel some wins off. Just keep watching! I know it’s very hard to imagine, but All the bracket guys can’t be that far off.[/quote]

Red I wish I could believe that.
Question though, in February will all these guys that can't shoot, somehow just learn how to shoot?
Gotta love those LJ 30ft 3s which he misses 85% of the time.

Believe or not, he’s worked with worse and still went on his patented Feb run. Could be a different case, but I’ve seen it more times that not. This team for all the shooting woes isn’t far off. IMO anyways.
 
[quote="BrookJersey Redmen" post=375075]Fox bracket guy has us in and a 12 seed, unbelievable to me. Just saw that on the tv.[/quote]

Then there's a simple reason, only one.
THE NCAA IS A JOKE.

It’s just one of those years. Very soft bubble. And with the NET criteria we are in a position to steal a bid if we just win some games!

One of those year, wasn't last year one of those years always?
Why is every year one of those years?

Maybe the ncaa is what it is.
A complete joke.

I love SJU, stuck with them all these years.
But when a team is 2-0 vs. the worst team in the league, and 0-7 vs. anyone else, and are still considered a #12 seed, to me there's something very wrong with that.

Maybe you're right and hopefully go on a tear in February, but at this point in the season (February 1st), to me there's no way they are an ncaa team.

I'm not sure about previous years, but it's been noted by many analyst this is a historic year as far as not having any dominate teams and just having a whole lot of mediocre teams out there. The record has already been broken this year on the amount of teams that have held the #1 ranked spot.

And as far as St. John's, like all the other bubble teams, there are glaring weaknesses on their resume, that's why they are on the bubble, go look at the resume's of the other teams that are in the same boat as them, you'll see they all have had some bad stretches. There's 2 teams in the big 10 right now projected in the field with a record of 11-10 overall. It's easier to understand if you read about the NET get familiar with how it works, it's different than how RPI use to work. Honestly, the NET is one of the better decisions the NCAA has made, it's a completely unbiased system that uses several different factors to determine a teams ranking.

I think it's really weird that you are a St. john's fan, but are getting angry that someone is projecting them as a 12 seed.

Lol I'm not getting angry, just being straight up
Oh so lets see, I'd disagree with other bad teams being in the field, but because I'm a sju fan I suppose to agree. Doesn't work like that.with me

As a sju fan I'd love for them to make it
As a coll bball fan, I'd say they don't deserve to be in at this point.
 
I'd be happy with 2 more B.E. wins. And one those non tournament bids for the boys with no dates to the prom.
