Providence (MSG), Sat., Feb. 11, 12 Noon, FOX

[MJDinkins]

The man knocked us out of NCAAs in 90 and 91, got his 1000th against us @ MSG, amongst many other bad memories. We were not a rival, but hated nonetheless. Just my two cents, sue me.

And, beat us in what I consider one of (if not the best) games I've ever witnessed by St. John's (I've been a fan since January '85) in January of 1999.

The "best" loss I've ever watched, if that says anything.

 

[Section9]

it would bug me if he was drinking goose island ipa and not bronx pale ale

It would realllly bug you if he sat on a table with no socks on, eating popcorn.

 

[monte]

Act like you’ve been there before. it’s not like we beat Bama football . PS I know that’s not from today LOL

I posted that clip for you, because I know how much you love when fans storm the court.

 

[mjmaherjr]

Also there is no doubt in my mind a redmen guy or guy who reads the site sat next to us today. So Mike from Ridge you were great fan and dude and had touch of greatness sitting next to mjmaherjr and the rest of our 114 crew

 

[monte]

I will take Colby Kings 5 points , 1 assist and 1 block and no turnovers and may I add good D in 17 mi utes any day over what AC gives us.
Just too bad the staff did not see it.

Geez, the way Brando and some posters were talking about him, I could have sworn he went for a quadruple double

 

[ohiofan]

Im bringing a union blowup rat to the remaining home games

Let me know if you can get into a game, I'll fly in for that one for sure.

1985 Preseason NIT semis was a helluva game too. Walter Berry put on a show, but Johnny Dawkins hit the game winner at the garden.

 

[Roamer]

Curbelo eating on bench doesn't bug me. But it would bug me big time if he actually weren't that hungry, but the act was calculated to get attention.

Curbelo is legit crazy. He needs the right coach to channel his energy. He is like a Rodman personality type IMO.

 

[Roamer]

This game was a good example of the value of SJU playing games at MSG. Ticket prices are higher, most fans prefer driving to CA and MSG doesn’t match the advantage of playing at CA.
With the worse facilities in the big east causing a recruiting disadvantage MSG is the one thing other teams can’t match. A competitive game brings out an atmosphere that is unique. We have to stop complaining that there are too many opponent fans in the arena and make the best of it.
SJU should play five big east games and two other games vs quality opponents every year and if we ever start winning add big east games to the five.
If the money is not there to improve facilities games at MSG probably provide a better recruiting advantage. Today was a 12 o’clock start to a mid season game in the midst of a terrible season and the atmosphere was great.

If it were up to me I wouldn’t play any games at carnesecca arena and all at MSG.

 

[SJU85]

Where has Mathis been?

 

[SJU85]

Mohammed is injured and out for the year.

And is redshirting as he did not exceed the maximum amount of games when you can no longer redshirt due to injury.

 

[Ray Morgan]

Welcome Coach !

No sign of Curbelo in the picture. Must have been stuck in a long popcorn line.

Wasn’t he standing right next to Coach K ?

 

[fan since 65]

Wasn’t he standing right next to Coach K ?

Yes he was, no sunglasses so a reverse incognito sort of.

 

[SJU85]

In the old days, Northshore and I had a friend Lenny (still my friend). When I came into town one year, there was one of those blowup rats on a road somewhere in East Meadow with the placard saying Lenny the Rat. I'll never forget laughing my ass off. PS - I come from a long union family line.

I haven’t seen Lenny in a very long time. Did he move or just stop going to games?

 

[Ray Morgan]

I was looking for the Masked Marvel instead of Herman Munster. Didn't recognize him without the goggles.

 

[ohiofan]

He had some family issues come up, but as far as I know, he is still in or around East Meadow. I saw him about two years ago at the end of the pandemic measures and he was well.

 

[SJUDave]

It’s a lot more fun watching and talking about a win. Johnnies proved they are not ready to pack in the season as David Jones led the way to St. John’s second win over a ranked opponent

Was a good win. Much needed.

The tone has brutal which I understand so I allow all vent. As I have said before, close family friend. Not happy with where the season has went. But they guys and coaches are fighting.

I don’t do the arm chair coaching. Being in the position and chirping from the outside is a much different thing.

So while I disagree with some things that have gone on, I still root for the program all out.


I will say, Posh had a good game. I just am in the minority that him and Andre can’t be in the game at the same time. Curbelo has been a prima Dona.. and if I was the coaches I would be at my point whether to let him stay or not.

Good win. One at a time. Onto DePaul.

If CMA has any chance of keeping his job, it starts with never letting Curbelo see the floor again. I hate to say this because we’re dealing with kids but Curbelo is a cancer and a chemistry killer.

If CMA does decide to foolishly bring him back then I vehemently disagree with your assessment that Curbelo and Posh can be on the court at the same time. It’s been a disaster all season , why would it suddenly work now? We saw today the difference when Posh has total control of the team.
