Doubt that was his intention. Maybe it’s just the truth.
Butler, Tue., Jan. 2, 8:30p, FS-1

Oh, I see. yeah I don't think it was a shot on purpose but it is the truth, that's what I meant.
Indirect as He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.
I don't take anything for granted, but we are favored, better in KenPom by a good margin, Butler hasn't played a true road game against a better team (IIRC), and honestly I have changed my tune enough on Jenkins ability to not TO the ball vs Posh.
They all but had the game won at Providence. Wound up losing in OT.
It’s no different than how Pitino speaks about Dingle.
And when Posh moves over to cover them? It would be wonderful if life were that simple. Jenkins needs no help. Bring it on.

Doubt it will be. 830 is too much for most of this fan base

This is a "MUST WIN" situation.
You assume he went for the money and that is your perogative. None of us truly knows what was in Posh’s mind and his reasons for leaving.
All I do know is that he was a fan favourite when he was hear for three seasons, contrary to many other players who were criticised regularly, but more importantly I would hate to be publicly judged for decisions I made at 21 years old.
I am sure most of us would have made very different decisions with the benefit of hindsight.
Beat Butler.
Posh Alexander’s ‘hidden thing’ inside helped his Butler revival after St. John’s transfer
For three years, Posh Alexander was one of the faces of St. John’s basketball. Tuesday, he returns as the enemy, as one of Butler’s leaders.

The money is only one (large) part of it. And it’s not an “assumption” Posh fared better financially at Butler than he would have here, and I don’t fault him for that. He’s not an NBA player and a marginal Euro player as well so he wanted to make as much as he can now. Money aside, even with Jenkins coming over, Posh would have been given a fair shot to earn playing time, the problem is he wanted a guarantee, or in todays terminology, “he didn’t feel loved”.
As I stated above, I don’t wish him ill will at all, except when he plays St. John’s. And the reason why I would rather see him have a horrible game then a good one is cause I don’t want him to have any confidence against the Johnnies as we will have to play his team at least one more time. Isn’t being a fan of St. John’s wanting the best for your team?
If I were at the game, when he was announced, I would applaud as well but that’s as far as I’d go. I would then be rooting for him to take a bad shot or turn the ball over as he did many times while playing for the Johnnys.

Having not followed Butler, is there any post player on the team that should present a challenge to Soriano?
Unless we host a NIT game.
Hope not. A game at Barclays in the round of 64 sounds a lot better.
