Obekpa Suspended

This program manages to ruin my favorite day of the year. Unreal. Gut the team and get rid of this God awful coach.

We will suck next year with or without Lavin time to rip the band aid and start the rebuild. Lavin will leave SJU in worse shape than norm Roberts did when all is said and done and that is sad

Just go steve
 
Rothstein reporting is "similar to the willie Shaw situation in 2002" which would be a failed drug test.

If that's the case don't praise Lavin for coming clean bc it's mandatory before the NCAAs and not something u can just sweep under the rug.

Yup it was probably the NCAA saying you can let everyone know or we will.
 
I think next year we have no Obekpa, no Sheed, no Lavin, no Sampson.
 
Will the embarrassment ever end? Seriously, on the very day of a small victory we get this? Is it me or do we get more eleventh hour surprises than your average program? I am starting to get the sense that we are facing yet another one and done. I can only assume that whatever Obekpa did it must be pretty stupid. By the way, the people who wonder why our fan base is so apathetic need look no more than exhibit 1a.
 
1. They still deserve a bid. Stop with the NIT nonsense. Please. We all know my stance on Lavin but these kids worked hard for this and they deserve to see their names called today.

2. Not fair to Chris to speculate on what the suspension is. Bottom line is he is suspended. It's an embarrassment but knowing the details won't change a thing.

3. When Kenyon Martin broke his leg Cincinnati went from the # 1 overall seed to a 2 seed I think. So our seeding can be effected but I was told that we won't be sent to Dayton as I mentioned as a possibility earlier this week.

4. Nail in coffin for Lavin.

In other words, perfect day for you, SJU dances and Lavin gone anyway. Is today your birthday?
 
This will def hurt our seeding. Didn't they use DJ injury as reason we were a 6 or whatever. Seriously what was the rush to announce this unless he now has a built in excuse for not winning a game in tourney
 
And why is it 2 weeks. Why not the season? If you pull a stunt like this at this time, don't deserve to play at all.

it is the season. Do you think we will make the elite 8?

Honestly, I think this is the right approach. Just think about something for a minute. Of the starting 5, 3 players have been suspended at some point in their St. John's careers. Pretty pathetic in my eyes.

So what? Maybe some people are tired of getting kicked in the nuts every year.
 
Serious question, has a coach ever been let go with years remaining on this contract after being in the NCAA tournament?

I think we go for the record of first coach to be fired on Selection Sunday after making the tournament
 
Maybe CO knows the team thrives on adversity and was trying to help. What a great teammate pulling something to get suspended on the cusp of the seniors 1st tournament. These players just don't give a shi!. Hard to root for them.

Heard it was mandatory to immediately report to NCAA, what appears to be drug testing issue. Am sure SJU Administration was in the loop quickly.
