just gonna assume you’ll see a lot more red. despite recent success, we still struggle to get 5k for home games and don’t have much history of traveling en masse for anything but the low-tier bowl games we occasionally sneak into (Texas and football
)that said, I live up in Maine and am stoked to hear to Barclays in a few weeks for a game with Fordham
Ironically we're playing Boston College that same day at Barclay's as part of the Brooklyn Showcase. I think you guys play at 11:30, then there's another game followed by Johnnies vs. BC.just gonna assume you’ll see a lot more red. despite recent success, we still struggle to get 5k for home games and don’t have much history of traveling en masse for anything but the low-tier bowl games we occasionally sneak into (Texas and football

yes and no. I mean they only play 8 guys and 3 are transfers. Just easier to assimilate a few guys as opposed to 12
Now you've made me nervous!
The getaway from the norm was one of the reasons the team would go away for a weekend of practices in Westchester (SUNY Purchase) and while staying in a hotel/resort.
This guy is a nice guy! Can we keep him?just gonna assume you’ll see a lot more red. despite recent success, we still struggle to get 5k for home games and don’t have much history of traveling en masse for anything but the low-tier bowl games we occasionally sneak into (Texas and football

Wish the line movement meant something, but Vegas was right the first two games before the big Johnnies money came in. Hopefully third time's a charm.
Most important game of the (regular) season IMO. With our weak OOC schedule (unexpected with stuff like WVU departures) and having already lost a game, losing this would put us on the losers side of the bracket and we would need to have a strong Big East resume to make the Tournament. Must win, and I do think we'll win fairly comfortably.

As far as I'm concerned, game 1 of Pitino era. It will answer the question of how well they rebound.
I’ve said before, I’ll say it again. If there is one team Vegas can’t figure out, it’s St. John’s.
They did nail our opener within half a point I think (before the Johnnies money came in), and they did correctly predict Michigan would win our last game (again, before the Johnnies money came in).
I agree that this team is very difficult to figure out and nothing would surprise me, but people (AP, sports bettors, etc.) have done a worse job thus far predicting where we're at. Hope this game changes that trend. I think it will, but I'm biased as a Johnnies fan lol.
I don’t know what Pitino was doing leaving Dingle on him so long. I think that is a lesson that only needs to be learned once. He hit a couple of tough shots after we switched and then he went radio silent. I don’t think Burnett would have beaten us. It was a 37-35 game when he had 17 of his 21 pts and he hadn’t missed a shot.
North Texas has a leading scorer that is 6’7 190. That puts him squarely in the Taylor-Alleyne (and soon Luis) category.
Of course their second leading scorer is 6’2 229 which is basically a Burnett Clone…so that would fall more on Dingle
I don’t trust Dingle at all on defense.Colorblind people everywhere will be anxious.

Ah the infamous 3 day weekend at Doral Arrowwood in White Plains. We would practice at SUNY Purchase Friday night, 2-3 times on Saturday with the last session being a scrimmage with refs, and a Sunday session before we headed home. Great food, golf or tennis, health club, pool, sauna.
After we started doing it, the Knicks started using it as their training camp before moving all their practice facilities there.

Just win. I don’t care how. I don’t need to see complete domination, I don’t need to win by double digits, it’s okay if the outcome is still up in the air in the last few minutes as long as they make the plays that win the game when it matters. Even if they build a big lead and then collapse but hang on and win bye 1 point I’m fine with it. I just want to watch a team that starts getting used to winning. Just start stacking wins however you can.

To be fair SJU was a bball top tier program from the 40's to the 90's, not just the 80's. And I am a former NTSU student going back to the Tony Worrell days.just gonna assume you’ll see a lot more red. despite recent success, we still struggle to get 5k for home games and don’t have much history of traveling en masse for anything but the low-tier bowl games we occasionally sneak into (Texas and football
