(BET) Creighton, Sat., Mar. 15, 6:30p, FOX

There once was a squad from Jamaica Queens

Who went by the name of New York’s team

The Garden it shook and the fans they roared

Let’s go St John’s Red Storm



Soon may the Red Storm come

To rock the rim an make a run

One day when the winning is done

We’ll cut the nets and go




Draining threes right through the hoop

Layup, pump fake, alley oop

The Johnnies march to victory

The Champs of the Big East



Soon may the Red Storm come

To rock the rim an make a run

One day when the winning is done

We’ll cut the nets and go




Da, da, da da da-dah etc.

RAH!



Back on top after 25 years

Led by a Coach we all revere

A legendary man among his peers

His name is Rick Pitino



Soon may the Red Storm come

To rock the rim an make a run

One day when the winning is done

We’ll cut the nets and go
 
I am sure Vince will get mins to spell Zuby because of size and think he is contractually guaranteed at least a couple mins a game. But I would give his mins to Prey. Think he will defend RK better in the post. Just would give Prey the Hoosiers line that he should absolutely not shoot unless wide open directly in front of hoop.

Speaking of contractual obligations…I wonder if Prey was loaned with the express condition that he only play the 4. Nothing else makes sense.

Rick said yesterday that Prey speaks five languages but it's been incredibly difficult to get him to talk on the court. That's the only thing that would make sense for him to not be the five, if he's not communicating switches and other things.

Both are unplayable at this point but Vince will get the minutes at the 5.
 
Obscure SJU numbers for Championship Game

As the No.1 seed the Johnnies now have a 7-1 record.
Against the No.2 seed, we are 4-6
In the BE finals we are 3-2
Never officially met Creighton in BET, but led them at halftime 38-35 in the quarterfinals before game was called due to Covid pandemic in 2020
And then they stopped the game and kicked me out of the Garden, those bastards.

We were going to win behind another great performance from Marcellus Earlington.

But as it is we were ahead on the scoreboard in the last game of the 19/20 season which still makes us national champs that year, in my book.
 
Should be a battle. I think Creighton gives us the best fight as opposed to any of the other schools, and not just because the beat us (barely), so buckle up.

Have to defend Kalk and Ashworth. If we go a decent job of those 2 things, we’re crowned.

What a terrific ride.
Creighton bench has become a lot better than people realize. And McDermott used them wisely in the earlier games.

Do not think they will be as gassed or as one dimensional as we hope they are but I hope I am wrong.

I think Hurley said it correctly in his postgame interview. The best two teams in the league are playing tonight. And considering we split during the season I think this one is a real toss up. Agree with your post — this is a talented and well-coached team.

Let’s go!
