They beat my alma mater by 64! Don't read much into that. Curry's a D3 team, that had won a total of 3 games, the last 4 years (though, they did make it 4 wins in the next game, so there's that).
 
New Hampshire is a veteran team but certainly not one we can’t beat relatively easily at home. This will be good practice for Vermont with both in the America East. Really hoping we win this and can get a good crowd for the Vermont game which should be our first challenge.

In their game versus Holy Cross they played only 7 and four starters played 35 plus minutes. Will be interesting to see if we can wear down a team that is undermanned as it is one of the tenets of the 40 minutes of hell philosophy.
 
SJU press release

New Hampshire comes to Queens with a record of 2-0, having slipped by Holy Cross at home, 87-83, on Saturday after dominating Division III Curry College, 93-29, in its season opener at Tuesday.

Nick Guadarrama, a 6-foot-5 forward from Newington, Conn., tallied game-highs of 28 points and 13 rebounds to lift UNH past Holy Cross. As a freshman last season, he averaged 7.8 points and 5.3 rebounds in 26 appearances, 11 of which were starts.

Junior guard Josh Hopkins is the team’s top returning scorer from a year ago, averaging 9.1 points per game as a sophomore. The Greensboro, N.C., native posted 15 points in the win over Holy Cross on Saturday.

St. John’s and New Hampshire will meet for the first time in the history of the two programs when they take the floor on Tuesday night.
 
After this game it gets real in a hurry. Team can't look past this one - they will need the W to keep the Coach A no-losing-seasons streak alive.

The good news is this is not a coach or staff that lets teams overlook opponents or show up without energy. Which is probably a contributing factor to his record.

They have a very good freshman guard from Montreal in their program who played for the same AAU program as my son plays for. However I have not seen him appear in either box score. A little strange as the kid is a very good scorer but tends to dominate the ball. We will see if he plays tomorrow.
 
I came to the states for a long weekend. Landed just as the final whistle blew in Saturday and take off today just as we tip-off. Wasn’t meant for me to watch SJU.
 
Haven't seen a line yet, but 91.4% chance of victory, according to BPI, so better chance then Iowa had last night.

Gman, do you get any of the games in the UK? Or do you have to go the streaming route?
 
[quote="MainMan" post=362625]Great, another state school with unlimited resources.[/quote]

I live about 20 minutes from UNH. Very nice school, but not unlimited resources at all. New Hampshire collects no state tax and runs the state government very lean. The sport with the biggest dollars at UNH is hockey. The best funded school in the state is Phillips Exeter academy prep school in my town which has an endowment of like 3-4 times what Uconn has.

I haven’t found a way to watch them, but the time difference makes it pretty tough to watch regardless.

Kind of what I figured. Visited UK in April and watched the NFL Draft in my hotel room via laptop at 2a.m. UK TV or at least what was offered in the hotel was a barren wasteland. Thank God for the internet but even that is killed by time difference.

I think this was intended as a joke lol. Hard to tell sometimes on forums though without inflection, sarcasm, etc.

Funny, I always thought that you lived in Pennsylvania. Shouldn’t you be MCNNH?

Get yourself a cloud DVR service in the USA. I may be mistaken on a few of these but I'm pretty sure that you can get this through: youtube/google TV, Sling, Hulu, Amazon Prime and others. I think in all cases the Cloud DVR is an extra charge like $5/month and with Prime and Hulu you'd need the Live TV options. If you can't access from abroad because of GEO-IP restrictions, use a VPN service with a U.S. ip address and you should be good to go.
