BET - Wed., Mar. 7, 7 p.m., Georgetown (8) vs. St. John's (9), FS1, Radio TBA

Not sure if this has been mentioned but is there a chance game gets postponed? Supposed to get a foot of snow.
Everything gets pushed back and Championship on Sunday?

Highly unlikely. All the teams are probably in town today and will be able to get to the garden. Also, the Knicks have a 1pm home game on Sunday.

Figured more for fans.

Chris Mullin said Shamorie Ponds practiced yesterday fully and looked “pretty good.” But wouldn’t reveal much else on status. Will see how he gets through today #sjubb
 
[quote="BrookJersey Redmen" post=275123]back around 25 years ago we had a huge snow storm during the BET, no postponements--- it is a logistical nightmare.[/quote]

I was at that game. Came in from Great Neck, and the Port Washington line was the only LIRR branch that was running afterwards (every 90 minutes, but there was a train waiting for us, when we left MSG). Apparently, they did come very close to stopping it in the first half.

http://www.nytimes.com/1993/03/14/s...cuse-going-nowhere-except-big-east-final.html

The game was temporarily halted with 7 minutes 30 seconds to go in the first half by a steady dripping from the roof above the foul line at the Eighth Avenue end of the court.

After consulting with Garden and conference officials, conference commissioner Mike Tranghese decided that the risk was minimal and the situation was correctable.

While engineers worked to limit the condensation, the officials -- Larry Lembo, Ted Valentine and Joe Mingle -- devised a temporary solution. Fred Santi, a ballperson for the Knicks -- and coincidentally a junior at St. John's -- would step on the floor at the Eighth Avenue end when the two teams were closer to Seventh Avenue.
As Santi kept his head up, watching the action at the other end of the court, he ran his mop, again and again, over the area at the right edge of the foul line. When the play showed signs of heading his way, Santi took his mop and retreated beneath the basket. He noticed that with about a minute remaining in the half, there was less need for his extra work.

Also, a brief power surge -- with the arena's lights dimming and a buzz heard throughout the building -- got the attention of the crowd of about 11,000. The announced attendance of 19,522 was based on tickets sold.
 
SJU61982 I was at that game and you remember all of it so much better than me. The dripping and mopping, it all came back to me. I came in from NJ and my line with the huge diesel engines ran fine in, but getting home was much worse, it took three times longer than normal.

fun times.

The thing about the dripping was from the NY Times article. I had forgotten that point, but I remembered the year, and getting there and back, and the fact that we got beat pretty soundly that day. I was not quite 11 years old at the time, so going to games was really magical for me, back then.

No. It's a TV show. Programming. Schedule.
 
I may try to get into Wednesday's game, does anyone have an extra ticket I can buy.

I spoke to the RW Club as I am a member; they don't have a single tix.

Can a Mod let me know if it is against the rules to post that I'd like to buy a ticket as a "new" topic on here? Thanks,
 
[quote="MJDinkins" post=275086][quote="SLYFOXX1968" post=275083]Otis , spot on regarding Jordan , Rysheed, not Michael . I always thought why didn’t he go to Temple , right in town. And , like you, thought it a red flag that Nova never pursued him . He was a good player, Head Case , future law breaker and obviously not interested in School or a education . He fooled himself into thinking he was better than he reality was . Who knows if he makes the NBA after St John’s ? He needed to do more than he showed in his 2 Years . Too bad , he picked the wrong path . Wonder if Lavin still
maintains contact ?[/quote]

Jordan's crime after he left St. John's was certainly foolish and he's paying the price for it. But, he was never a troublemaker while at St. John's. Some of y'all need to shut the F up, if you don't know what some people have to go through to survive.

Everybody don't make it out of their situation or environment. It's not an excuse. It's reality. Some may have the fortitude to do so, but many others don't without the proper guidance or support system.

Let the shit go.[/quote]

I'm not getting into a big argument again, but here's my take.

At St. John's he was away environment (in Philly), why not concentrate on basketball and improving your basketball, so maybe you can become an NBA PG. Take care of you and F everyone else, one day make millions playing basketball and get him fam out of there.
But nah, it was his choice to do that back and forth shit phily to sju to philly to sju etc.......

His choice that F'ed his dreams up, but oh well shit happens, and now he'll have a long time behind bars to think what could have been. Sad situation but every has to make their own choice as to how they want their life to be, sad that he choose the wrong path.
 
I just got an email from MSG, both games will be played as scheduled and MSG will be in full operation. My company owns a suite there
 
[quote="NYCRedmen" post=275143]St. John's may be down to 5 scholarship players tomorrow, ugh!![/quote]

Where are you getting that from?

Here's Mullin on Ponds, FWIW:

Chris Mullin has no idea what to expect from Shamorie Ponds on Wednesday. “That’s the great thing about showing up at the gym, see what unfolds. I think it’s kind of awesome, actually. The unknown is beautiful. That’s why you go out and play." #sjubb
 
Trimble refused to go back into the PC game after Mullin used a walk-on, Ponds is questionable and Yakwe may also be out. Can’t make this stuff up. I heard that Ponds did not practice, take it for what its worth.

It's been confirmed that Trimble did not refuse to go back in. He mouthed off about being taken out, and Mullin told him he was done for the day. That's why Cole played. That's different, and less troublesome IMO, then refusing to go back in.

Braziller contradicts your report on Ponds:

True but the question remains whether or not the staff will sit him tomorrow b/c of his antics. I guess we will find out tomorrow.
