Horwitz is a big St. John’s fan. Gary is always talking about that and how he had Mulllin and Berry and those guys in the clubhouse in the 80s.
Would really like to avoid Kansas and Gonzaga anytime they are bad seeds.You know we won’t be able to avoid Gonzaga. They’ll be the 7 wherever we are. Arkansas the 10. Louisville the 3. New Mexico the 9.
Speaking of contractual obligations…I wonder if Prey was loaned with the express condition that he only play the 4. Nothing else makes sense.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.
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.Speaking of contractual obligations…I wonder if Prey was loaned with the express condition that he only play the 4.

Both are unplayable at this point but Vince will get the minutes at the 5.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.

And then they stopped the game and kicked me out of the Garden, those bastards.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
Creighton bench has become a lot better than people realize. And McDermott used them wisely in the earlier games.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.

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