(@Bar) VCU, Tue. Nov. 20, 7:30p, ESPN-2 / 970 WNYM

[quote="SJU61982" post=303501]BPI gives us a 75.8% chance of victory, which seems a little high, but who knows?[/quote]

I believe that percent is in line with the 6.5 points Vegas is giving us. Generally I think 7 points translates to 75% odds.

Either way, higher than I expected.
 
S T Johns 79
VCU 75

Heron's turn scores 27
Roberts gets up to scratch himself the board goes crazy.
We play 7 again, bench scores 2 points.
 
I see another nail-biter and think we again prevail. Free throws critical in the closing seconds.
Let’s go Redmen.
 
I'm looking for tickets tonight and it appears the "stj" code on ticketmaster is no longer working. Anyone else having that issue?

BT has a channel with ESPN content. They show a lot of college basketball and football on it. Since our games are normally on Fox I don't get any of them, but this tourny being on ESPN gives me the rare chance.

Kira said I can't watch it in the bedroom like last night after I woke her up screaming after the Ponds 3 ball.

Trying to secure our fifth in-season tournament this century :(

Well she's got a point, I mean she's sleeping for two, AND she has a job I assume? ;)

The 7'6 freshman tallied 19 points, but it wasn't enough to overcome junior Malik Sealy's 26 points in the championship.
Bradley did get the best of Sean Muto though.

[quote="Paul Massell" post=303565]Temple cruises over Cal. Pretty good looking team.

76-59[/quote]

Hopefully, it’s St. John’s playing down to the competition and not indicative of a struggle tonight versus VCU.
 
I have a feeling SJU will play a lot harder tonight. Their best effort of the year by far was vs Rutgers, who they had the lowest odds of beating. Seems when they know they're favored by a lot they don't give 100%.
 
Playing really well. Rims have been really stiff for us thus far and their only baskets we had some defensive miscommunication.
 
Three shots in and out for us so far. Hopefully, they start falling. They look more aggressive on defense tonight
