DePaul Game

Huge game. Get DePaul to turn the ball over, often their habit & we get some easy buckets & eke one out on the road. Two road wins help neutralize our two home losses.
 
i have this down as a win - it will be single digits because i dont think we will shoot like we did vs PC but if we can pressure them and cause chaos it should be enough

SJU 70
Depaul 64

Harrison player of the game - 26 points, 8 boards

Not exactly jumping for joy that the Big East scheduled this game against the NFL playoffs...ill probably be switching back and forth.
 
If there was a single likeable team left in the playoffs id switch back and forth but nope.

most people find the colts and pack likeable if you ask me
 
I'm sure this will be a tight line in Vegas. if we get the W then 2-3 looks like a phenomenal start compared to how things looked at this point last yr.
 
Anyone know what section is the section behind the visitor (SJU) bench at allstate arena?
Hard to tell from the pictures online and I can't tell which side we would be on. Any help would be appreciated.

Lets go St. John's!

I was gonna say us the Ray Rice approach but then thought better of it. So, nevermind.
 
Hate to classify game 5 of the BE season as must win, but I believe it is. Losing at SHU we can withstand. Losing at home to Nova is acceptable - they will be the class of the league. Butler at home stings and can only be nullified with a road win there - doable. Beat DePaul, and we are looking at Marquette at home before Creighton away - another have to win game on our schedule, before a rematch with Providence (Duke non-conf sandwiched in between). I believe Providence will be a dogfight to win, and it's by far in our best interests to win the three aforementioned conference games to pull to 4-3 before the rematch.

If we cannot beat DePaul away, we will struggle to be ..500 in conference, and need BET magic to have a post season - the real season. Put them away, and we can right the ship quickly.

Be careful. Others (they know who they are), will get on you for calling this a must win.

BTW I agree with your post.

Couldn't disagree more. Granted, I think we should win this game but there are no easy road wins in this conference. If we lose a road game to DePaul, we lose a road game to DePaul and we try to make it up somewhere else.

You must dig very deep ditches for a living, and like climbing a big ladder out :)

I said in another thread that the team had to win 4 of their next 5 games to really put itself in good shape down the stretch.
