Pretty much just an excuse to kill some time many hours before the super bowl 
 
I wonder what Posh’s availability is for the Yukon game?
 
If they could only win one game all year this is the one I would pick. This year, and every other year.

UBS-too close to Conn--just down NE Thruway to Throgs Neck then a short drive to UBS.  Better to play them at the Barkley--they'll get mugged or lost on the subway
 
Totally agree there'd be no more satisfying Quad 1 win than UCONN. Problem is I could see both Posh & Champ missing the game. Hope that isn't the case. I love (and have loved) Wheeler as a significant contributor but let's not be so silly as to say he is more important than either of Posh or Champ to our success. 
 
Sonogo looked dominant v Marquette, should be a challenge obviously

Sorry gents, but playing games in Long Island is lame.        One of the few selling points we have is playing games at MSG.  It’s part of our identity.  Playing our biggest games in Long Island will undoubtedly push our program into further obscurity and is a sure fire recipe for lousy turnouts.

We are at the point where the only thing left in the season of importance is the Big East tournament.  I would not play Posh or Champy unless they are 100% healthy.  Winning the big east tourney is all we got.

Not suggesting we stop playing at MSG, just that the UConn game be played at UBS which drew well for the Kansas game.  I have a feeling Sunday's game at MSG is going to feature a tough-to-swallow, large, obnoxious UConn crowd.

Yep. The only way to shut them
up is by giving the huskies a beat down

UConn women fall to Nova 72-69, snapping a 145 game Conference winning streak.

UConn men - you are up next.
 
Only positive of a Noon game is that the crowd from CT won't have THAT many hours to drink before tipoff. Those fans are notoriously drunk when they get off those buses on 31 St and Eighth Ave.

There have been night games at the Garden where their fans start out early drinking all the way down here, then hit as many bars as possible, then head into the game absolutely hammered.

So night games are better for the economy.  /media/kunena/emoticons/tongue.png
 
The Conn fans of today act exactly as the SJU , Ford. Man., and NYU fans did along eight avenue back in the good old days.

Cant agree with this game not counting. They are killing it on the recruiting trail with like 8 4 star kids over the past two years. Johnnies are after many of the same kids so we need to win the game to show that we can compete. For the record, I thought UConn being brought into the league was a big mistake. They are using their large state school funds in their recruiting process while upgrading their facilities to attract high end recruits. The leagues braintryst thought more about the financial ramifications for the front office then they did for the negatives for the local Big East teams.

The remaining games are just as important as when we were still in the running for a bid. If SJU goes on a five or six game losing streak we will be battling Geo for last place and any plans for fund rising by the AD will take a hit, next years season ticket sales will take a hit, recruiting will take a hit and if Anderson survives he will be on very shaky ground next year.
SJU has to play its hardest with all fit players for the rest of the season.
