"I feel like we can beat anyone in the country, and we are going to be prepared for tomorrow," Marcellus Earlington

The duke speaks the truth!

Your boy was awesome tonight. very inspiring effort and win for the team!
I hope they get a chance to play tomorrow but I have my doubts, and I'll be shocked if the BE tournament makes it to Saturday.
 
[quote="Duke of Earlington" post=381270]Restricted crowd tomorrow, sounds like only staff and family. Really sucks cause that negates our home crowd advantage.[/quote]

Actually, it should be to our advantage, since every home game we play is usually in an empty arena. We should be used to it.

I do agree that it will probably prove to be an overreaction in the long term, but I'd rather they be wrong in this direction, then be wrong by having large events, and a lot of people getting sick.

That being said, I would have gone tomorrow, if allowed.

I think they heard me from home!
 
I'm curious if the coaches and players voices will be heard? Voices are normally drowned out by the crowd. Might be interesting to hear the trash talk between players. B)
I'm not sure what to expect without a crowd. It probably won't be as exciting or entertaining. I hope the cheerleaders are allowed to be there.

The game is still important and a St John's win would increase the chances of a NIT spot.

If the NIT takes place. There is a good chance it gets canceled.
 
Logic says this is a close game for the first half, but Johnnies falter in second with this ridiculous turnaround after exhausting comeback, but let’s roll the dice & see what happens.
 
A little over 3 hours from tipoff. We are going to need champaignie and greg eilliams to step up today. I expect another solid performance from the duke but I dont expect another all time game. He will need help.

All hands will be needed on deck if we are going to beat creighton. I know mike a will not play that ridiculous trap defense against these guys so I expect this is going to be a close game.

If williams and penny can get back to playing like they were at the end ofthe season, we can win this one.

Being without Zegarowski is a huge loss for Creighton. Will be interesting to see how they respond without such a pivotal player and Loss at such an important spot like PG. He had a poor game vs us last time and they lost by 20. Without him all together gonna be interesting.

[quote="Manhattan1" post=381324]I assume the ridiculous turnaround time is due to the Big east wanting to protect the #1[/quote]

The number 1 is already protected by getting the bye and what part of the bracket they are put it.

I actually think the 12pm start benefits st johns. These kids are pumped after last night and are going to continue the great play from the 2nd half right into this game.

I am predicting a st johns win and it will be because of the hot start we get off to from playing this early tip. Thank you big east!
 
I hope so only thing that concerns me is stamina,their style of play mo reguures more rest between games

Early start is a killer for us.

It is. It's horrible the BE doesnt follow the other leagues who would have the winner of last nights game playing the 2nd game today.

On the bright side if there is any team used to playing in front of empty buildings its SJU :woohoo:

It is the way the bracket is that is the order in which they play. So 1 plays 8/9, 4 plays 5, 2 plays 7/10 and 3 plays 6. In that order. Just about every Tourney follows that order.

So because of that order the winner of 8/9 plays 1 the earliest. The issue is they may want to move the Wednesday games to afternoon instead of at night even though the league does not need to because unlike the ACC or B10 they don't have 14 or 15 teams.

For exampe the B10 has 4 games today with 8/9 Rutgers vs Michigan the opener at noon. The winner plays the #1 seed Wisconsin at NOON tomorrow. Just like the BE 8/9 winner plays the #1 at noon today. The difference is the B10 has 4 games today, the BE only had 2 games yesterday. Because of that the B10 needs a full day of games, whereas the BE just puts 2 games in prime time. So the Rutgers/Michigan winner won't have such a quick turnaround.

But it has always been that way, remember when the BE expanded to 9 teams with Pitt in the 80's and played an 8/9 game the night before the QF's same thing, play it night before and the winner come back and play on quarterfinal day at noon against the no. 1 seed. That quarterfinal day use to be the best day. When ESPN had the Tourney final in the 80's the QF's would be on Thursday with semi's on Friday and Championship on Saturday night. Then in 87 CBS got the rights to the semis and Finals. And they moved it up a day. So the QF's use to be on Friday afternoon and night and then Semi's on Satuirday and the Final on Sunday, usually around noon. Then ESPN got it back starting in 96 and then they moved it back a day again.
 
BE should start the tourney on Tuesday, off Wednesday, then everyone left plays Thursday.
