I think we'll see good minutes for Caraher this game, so there won't be any wondering what happened to him two games in a row.
 
Not able to go Wednesday night. if anyone wants my two tickets, PM me with your email address and I'll send them to you through my My Johnnies account. Sorry, but it'll be first come first served.

I heard an O.A.R. song over the weekend, immediately thought of Theo, at least until I turned it off shortly thereafter.

I am Spartacus! Shout out to Tony and thanks again for the tickets. Moose-wasn't sure what channel the game was on so I figured I better go to it. ;)
 
I hope to see a good response game after the Vermont heartbreak. Good coaches rally their troops after games like that. I'd love to see a game like the first few and hopefully go into the ASU game riding high with nothing to lose.

Don’t expect a blowout. Just a good performance and a solid win would be nice. Columbia is probably better than UNH and has a solid senior point guard I’m Mike Smith.

I don't think anyone is expecting a blowout...but hopefully we have a comfortable lead most of the game. If I were one of the players, I'd be angry dropping that one at home with Vermont on a really tough shot from Lamb and take it out on Columbia. It's been a while since seeing that 100% intensity, let the dogs out type defense that caused chaos early on. I'd like to see us get back to how we started the 1st game of the season. Don't even give them a chance to think with bodies flying around everywhere and cause confusion and pressure. I feel a lot better having Dunn now and he showed us he had a bit of rust, but when open he has the ability to keep defenses honest from 3. I hope we really drive and attack the basket. If the driving lanes are cutoff like with Vermont, kick it out until they get sick of us hopefully making open 3's. A lot of the Ivy league schools are sneaky solid most of the time. I want to see Heron back on track, Dunn contributing, and swarming defense causing lots of easy fast break points. That's when we're at our best.

The Mercer game was impressive as we knocked them out early. I agree we need to come into the game with that same killer instinct.
 
Here’s hoping SJU gets a nice bounce back win against a team they should handle. This team isn’t good enough to look past anyone and I don’t think they will. Looking for MH to let the game come to him and regain some confidence. More game action for Dunn also a positive. Go St. John’s!
 
10.5 favs. Think Columbia plays us smart, like Ivies always do, and real tough. Don’t think we cover.
