We're playing Butler in a must win game. I like Posh but hope he goes 0-8 with 5 turnovers against us!

THIS, except 7 or 8 turnovers would be better

 

[Silly Donovan]

Love to beat Butler, but please, shove your Posh hatred up your ass.

Hopefully it’s shoved up Posh’s ass and he and his team have a lousy game.

 

[lawmanfan]

Not hugely optimistic about this game. On paper we should be positioned to win it. But it's hard to win at Hinckle and getting back into the conversation only to immediately shoot ourselves in the foot is the SJU brand.

Posh started off his career here decently but he trailed off last couple years and looked very slow on the court last season. He was not "a need" back like A.J. Storr or even Jones would have been. That being said I do think @ Butler will be tough one for us. I think if this was home for us it would be a win but that place will be pumped. Not seeing a win here. I think we close out the season with a couple wins however and will need to make a showing at Big East tournament to get us at/over 20 wins to have shot.

 

[SLYFOXX1968]

Wow that was uncalled for .... first I believe majority of the people here wanted posh back and we all loved posh. So uncalled for. Do you not read these boards? I support my team my players and wish all our former players the best . Even cuerbelo lol

Only the guy who gave Curbelo the Popcorn misses him .

Hinkle Fieldhouse has not been kind to us in the past. This will not be an easy game at all. Hoping for the best.

I call it the Hinkle House of Horrors

Me abstaining from posh debates because butler is our next game

 

[vegasman2000]

We win this game let’s dream but it’s beyond a must win: only way to NCAA without winning BET IMO is winning this game

Elimination game for both. Hard to believe that Butler and us were both solidly in and in the top half of the bracket at one point, and now playing for our lives.

Gene Hackman Bobble Head Night at Hinkle may be a problem for the Johnnies

 

[SJUDave]

I said this towards the end of the Creighton podcast last night...this game mattering and being able to talk about the hope of what if we win this game and make it 3 in a row...is a good thing. And much better than the alternative if they didn't pull that game out yesterday.

St. John's has to have confidence and momentum going into this game. Lets get a solid practice and a safe travel to Butler and bring home a win. These guys aint dead yet

 

[paultzman]

Vacc always makes sense

 

[lycidas]

Butler is a much better team than when we beat them earlier in the season. Hopefully, we play like we are too.

Butler has lost 4 in a row.

 

[paultzman]

Butler has lost 4 in a row.

Yeah, Butler looks terrible on defense. I think Johnnies win this one

 

[Mullins Revenge]

Butler has lost 4 in a row.

Id rather Butler have not lost 4 in a row. Angry and deparate is dangerous.

 

[redmen89]

Maybe after this game the posh debate will finally end once and for all?

 

[RedStormRising]

The equation is simple. If we shoot less than 12 3 point shots and even close out 1/2 way on Butlers’s shooters we win. If we shoot lots of 3s and get lazy in our rotations we lose.

 

[BrookJersey Redmen]

Id rather Butler have not lost 4 in a row. Angry and deparate is dangerous.

For example, playing Creighton after their huge one-sided win over Uconn, was better for us than if Creighton was coming off a L.

 

[paultzman]

No choice after losing 8 of 10 but to win remainder of BE schedule and two in the BE imo. One nice win over a ranked team does not negate that horrible streak w a lot of blown games. This Pitino factor to me is nonsense re Dance access and should be.

Don’t stumble v either the two terrible teams, win a road game v Butler and take two in BE to get a look. I would prefer the second BE game to be v a team of substance to further beef up resume.

There never was a debate. Jenkins is 100x better then posh. We upgraded tremendously.
