I would be shocked if we lose to Seton Hall this year.

I would too, but I can't blame the writer. A good team almost always gets stung on the road by an inferior team at least once in conference play, so I don't fault him for trying to seek that game out.

What he has that I can't understand is 2 losses to Xavier.

These articles are just plain dumb. Nobody, including Lavin and staff can predict how good this team will be against the new BE competition or the better teams on our schedule. For that matter, they don't even know how will fare against the middle and lower half of the pack. We know we will be a better rebounding team, but against teams that usually clean our clocks off the boards, will we now be their equal or at least a fighting chance? Will giving us the best rebounding front line diminish our firepower? Will GG, Sanchez, Jordan, or even Hooper be solid contributors? Will the flashes we saw from Branch before the injury translate to a season of superlative play? Is Harrison a superior marquis (for D1) guard, or just a guy who misses too many shots? So yea, all this speculation about top 20 team can be legit, or evaporate to a team that struggles to stay above .500 in conference or worse.

It is exciting to speculate, but come on, the team is a like a box of... ahh forget it.

There is no way this team only wins one big east road game.

And his math is wrong. His total days 10-8 in conference but the individual games add up to 9-9.

I agree about the article and you ask some interesting questions. However, this team will not struggle to stay above .500 in league play. They were 8-10 last year with younger players in a stronger league, and have now added several key parts that address the talent gaps that existed last year.

I also agree with Amaze that 1 league road win is a joke. With another year of growth plus Gift and Sanchez, this is an experienced team now that will win its fair share of road games.

Small change, but I like this move quite a bit. Seemed too crowded playing an exhibition in Queens on Tuesday and having the opener in South Dakota that Friday. Not for travel purposes, but general preparation purposes.
 
#sjubb RT @stevelepore: Fox Sports 1 announces a deal with Barclays Center to televise the arena's Brooklyn Hoops series.
 
We play Ole Miss Nov. 29-30.

Here's the Ole Miss coach on Marshall Henderson's "suspension":

@JonRothstein: Kennedy on Marshall Henderson "He's going to miss games. He won't play in our opener. How many he'll miss I still don't know."

"How many he misses depends upon how good St. John's looks leading up to our game. It's called the Boeheim approach."
 
Are we confirmed for 7PM EST for the Wisco game? I know there was talk of 8PM, then I saw 1PM listed on one site's listing of our schedule, a lot of places still have TBD, and our webiste now lists 7PM. I'm assuming that means it's set but just wondering if anyone knows for sure. Thanks.

18-13.

Yikes. 9-9 in conference? 4 losses out of conference?

I'd be real disappointed if either of those happened, let alone both.

9-9 would put us about 5th place, higher than any preseason publication has picked us.

Do i get to amend my 18-13, 9-9 prediction?
And to think, I predicted one of, if not the worst, records in this thread.
