It will be the type of crowd that sips expensive wine and nibbles on appetizers served on a charcuterie board.

And the type of crowd who think that
(A) the St. Johns' players' moms and dads work for Georgetown moms and dads and
(B) that not a single St. John's graduate would even sniff getting into Georgetown and
(C) Nantucket is far nicer than Martha's Vineyard and the Hamptons.

I don’t think he is close to the weapon at the FT line as Richmond. You would want him on the wings. Sim will have to handle the ball and get it to Richmond a lot.

RJ is the other threat there and that takes away the worst two dribbles that get him into trouble.

Sim throws some really bad passes sometimes. He has shown growth since last year and think he has taken a step getting to the rim and on D , but the idea of him being the lead PG next year is slightly concerning

6 road games left against Gtown, Yukon, Nova, DePaul, Butler, Marquette. If you’re looking at 3-3 or 4-2 in that stretch (which would be a great overall road record) you want this one in the win column!

Enjoy each win, look at film of the next opponent, when you get out ahead of yourself is when bad things happen.

Survive and advance, one possession at a time, one half at a time, one game at a time.
 
I'm going to watch live AND DVR this game, I have a sneaky feeling (i) something good is going to happen, like a complete game romp (ii) something crazy is going to happen, controversy, ejections, fights, or (iii) something bad is going to happen, if so, I can immediately trash it.

Respect GT, certainly capable of knocking off just about everybody at home. That said, their two stars will likely get their due, but the backcourt as noted above can be exploited. Their second half swoons could be a few things; conditioning, lack of “calming” guards or getting rattled above the norm.

Pitino seems to have this group pulling together on a mission and I think we win a close one. Lastly, playing down there, the environment is not in same class as raucous Marquette, PC, Creighton, X or UConn which is a plus.

100% agree on the Georgetown backcourt. That’s how our guys win this game I think. If Peavy & Sorber are getting to spots they like on the court and getting good looks it’s probably a bad night for us (or at the very least we’re in a battle) We want Epps & Mack shooting deep 3’s with hands in their faces or panicking and charging into a crowd for low percentage drives. Ideally Zuby gets Sorber in early foul trouble. That’s probably the one way we blow them out if that somehow ends up happening.

Despite the attention they’ve gotten this season I still think Sorber & to a lesser extent Peavy are underrated. Both legitimately have chances to make All Conference teams. There’s just such a significant drop off after them in my mind. Georgetown doesn’t have much depth especially since Feilder (he’s been…okay) hasn’t taken the leap their fans were expecting.

Hopefully we take care of business and get another tough win on the road.

I feel I have a full head of hair. But the mirror says no.

Also if you give RJ the ball at the FT line unless they have Matt A riding on his back like it's a chicken fight and saying "don't drive" in his ear there is no way RJ is taking that shot more than twice as opposed to doing his favorite thing.

Prey would start on Georgetown, says my full head of hair ;)

I feel better about RJ when the drives from behind the 3 pt line are removed. He's actually very good in the paint.

Full spectrum of outcomes... love it...

Interested to see what we do against Peavy- he took it to us last game. Kinda wanna see RJ on him, think he will use that poster he got put on as fuel.

Sober... has to think he bounces back a bit from our first game... but i do think we have the best compliment of bigs to deal with him.

Even though hes not playing like it... Epps is still a guard in my mind that can go OFF... lets hope he doesnt find that switch lol.

In fairness, Pitino himself recently said something along the lines of "wealthy people don't go to St John's." And then Kull made a comment about St John's fans being working class/blue collar -I don't have the exact quote, but it was something like that. Gross generalizations on both accounts, although I know Pitino was trying to make the point that SJU gives underprivileged people a shot in life.

In contrast to "wealthy people don't go to St. John's" which Rick did say, "poor people don't go to Georgetown".

While exaggerations, in large part, these statements are both true.

St. John's $937M

Georgetown $3.6B

Nantucket versus Jones Beach.

Vevue Cliquot versus Bronx IPA

The French Laundry versus Nathan's
