Do you really believe that a Xavier team that took UConn into overtime at YConn and lost to Marquette by 2 is a road win? If so, I love your optimism.

I don’t think we win that game the way we are playing now but it’s not impossible. I say it’s 70/30.

Does the fact they're paid professionals affect your thinking?

Not to take this thread any further off topic (and my bad I started it), but yes after reading some of the great responses in here, it's probably something I should be taking into consideration. It's a whole different dynamic. Many kids are choosing to attend a school based on who gives them the biggest check, they're not choosing the school because they love the school. So essentially they are employees. I'll just have to adjust my own personal expectations of things.

To keep this on topic, we will crush Butler on Saturday.

St. John’s needs to make a run during upcoming soft stretch of its schedule​


“There are eight games between now and Feb. 4th when Marquette visits MSG. Eight very winnable games with five at home. St John’s will be a major favorite in six of them and likely a smaller favorite in the other two as well at Georgetown and Xavier.”

And we are a winnable game on other teams schedules.

More homer articles.

We need to get real. Win at Xavier and then we can start thinking about winnable games.

Actually, it doesn't matter what you would do, or any of us. I, for one don't care. Luckily coach doesn't hate players on his team like some of this board's members do. He has the maturity to understand that players are not perfect and continues to work with each of them to improve. We know you passionately dislike Kadary and if you just wrote "Dido" instead of your daily bashing of him, we would know what you meant.

I’m going to continue to derail. But serious question, do any of our 1 yr guys attend class? Keeping it real none of them are here for the education.
 
when we win few a games everyone is on the bandwagon ( not just here but my Johnnie friends who read here ) and I'm probably the most mentally unstable of them all. ( that doesn't say much about the rest of my friends ) I say this because Get the F back on the bandwagon we've lost 3 games by less than a redfan tgifriday date tip

Saturday the Tide will turn after 5th degree burn

I think your assumption that it's their choice is wrong. If classes and grades didn't matter, Jamar Watkins would be playing for St John's this year.

A couple of fans have posted that they don’t have the connection with this team that they felt with previous teams. Welcome to the world of the transfer portal. Gone are the days of watching players develop year by year and see players play together for a number of years.i
Pitino keeps saying play for the name on the front of the uniform. If nothing is done to curtail the jumping from one team to another the players are going to have a tough time remembering what name is on the jersey and fan interest is going to take a major hit.

Keep in mind that only Glenn Taylor Jr. and Drissa Traore jumped after last season. Five guys stayed (all of whom have contributed) and the rest ran out of eligibility. Let's see what happens after this season.

Saturday wont move the needle one bit. Butler sucks.

Win at Xavier if you want people to start believing again.

Beat butler and lose to xavier and its same old johnnies.

So many different factors going into a ballplayers decision today. BYU got a kid from up here last month for 7 mil, and the papers said it wasn't even the highest bid.
