Mike, leave it to st. John's to schedule it on a Saturday at 7:30 and the w/media/kunena/emoticons/tongue.pngeeknight games for 9:00 PM. 


Pretty sure it's BE conference in tandem with Fox picking the schedule and start times.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Right bama, not scheduled by St. John's; it's just I tease Maher that I can't stay up till the end of the 9:00 PM weeknight games. /media/kunena/emoticons/tongue.png

So this Saturday night sitting down to the tube at 7:30 PM I want to be BORED; a 30 point romp, we need one of those every now and then, wire to wire W, bring it to 'em boys.

Not a prediction just a hope for Brian (OLV72) who hates BORING games.

Boring is good 
 
Paulicap is better at this level than I was expecting . . . but he's still not good enough where he should be eating us up inside. Control him with the right guy covering him and I think it's an easy game. Especially since I think Moore has been out, right? If he doesn't play it should be a pretty easy night.

They were awful last night w/ their 2 top scorers out w/ injuries.  If those 2 are back, they will be much better.
 
We took care of business in the first game by 12 points, I'd say we are 100% a better team now than we were in that game.  Lets show up, play fast and get this W. Must win - keep this momentum going. Keep these analysts and bracketologists talking about us!
 
Hope coach keeps their  drive in focus. This is a hustle game go after every loose ball etc. This game is important don't look pass them.
 
I have said this before, so I'll say it again (because that's what we do here, right?):

DePaul has more talent than at least 2 and possibly as many as 4 teams in this league.  Their problem is that Leitao is by far the worst coach in the league.  But on any given night they can absolutely play with anyone - it isn't as though they're undermanned.

If Moore is plays then the question is whether Leitao went to school on the Butler game (as he should have).  Paulicap and Freeman-Liberty hurt us inside last time, and if we don't make adjustments then we could see more of that this game. 

If Moore is out then the question will be whether DePaul will be able to get the ball up the floor against us or whether we will be able to speed them up the way we did to Xavier.  However, IMHO with Moore on the floor DePaul is a team that is much more comfortable playing at pace than X.
 
DePaul commits 16 TOs per game and Moore averages 3.3. Moore also seems to make them at in opportune times and often forces shots. I think they will succumb to our pressure and pace and  see a double digit win for SJU.

BPI gives us an 82.1% chance of victory, as of 29 and a half hours before gametime.

I don't think we've ever been that high for a conference game (this has only been around for a few years).
 
Agree,talent wise I say they are almost on par with us.The intangibles,coaching and desire will make the difference
 
Johnnies open as 12.5 point favorites.

If  Leitao is out, line will be about 6.5 :)

DePaul deserves to be bad
Hard to believe that they hired Leitao TWICE and he's still there
Fool me once,...........

This might be the first time ever I'd consider a St Johns vs Depaul game at 7:30 on a saturday night exciting. The way we are playing plus Covid staying at home this is must see tv
Good excuse for me to let Mrs. Ohiofan watch one of her crap movies on cable while I watch the game on laptop with headphones. I don't get many chances like this! 
Good time to let Mrs Ohiofan get Bridgerton on Netflix out of her system. Would be a way for you to get a few get out of jail free cards for St. John's games

AND they extended him after it was abundantly clear that he just can't do the job.  The only conclusion you can draw from that is somebody in the DePaul administration has made a ton of cash over the years betting against DePaul and they didn't want their cash cow to dry up so the best way to keep it going was to keep Leitao.  There's literally no other plausible explanation other than flat-out masochism.
