If you think it's a loss already why play lol. Sorry but all it takes is one game to start a streak
Seton Hall (UBS), Sun., Feb. 18, 5p, FS-1
- Thread starter Knight
- Start date
St John's absolutely has more talent and more depth than Seton Hall. The two secrets to Seton Hall's success are that Kadary Richmond makes everything happen for them and Holloway does a brilliant job of using the other (mediocre) pieces he has to full advantage (i.e. plays to their strengths, hides their weaknesses, something our staff could maybe learn from) and getting his team to play like junkyard dogs who haven't eaten in a week at all times.
It's a must-win game for St. John's. Richmond will do what he does, unless Pitino remembers that Glen Taylor is a guy who makes your team better and plays him to defend Richmond (instead of what I think he WILL do, which is deploy Luis for that which will result in him fouling out). The key is that SJU has to want the game as much as Seton Hall does (because they want EVERY game) and the ball has to move to the best matchup instead of forcing certain ones. Oh, and feed Soriano, they have nobody who can contend with him if St John's decides to focus on feeding the post.

Nice idea and well deserved. I sense that attendance may be weak at UBS even though its an easy get to on the LIRR Huntington Line.
+1000
Rarely is a game a "must win" but this one is, unless we want to win the BE tournament to get in
Unfortuately, or fortunately, this is another game that I won't be able to watch at home in real time. Scoreboard watching again.
I actually got to watch the second half of the Friars game with my friend who did drink my beer. Wish I hadn't!

St johns has more "must win" games than any other team in the country.
I feel like the best SJU games take place directly after I emotionally start to distance myself from the team.
After the Providence game I felt in my bones that this season was over. Most games, I come away with a silver lining, something that keeps me looking forward to the next one. Not after the Prov game.
Expect a spirited 84-71 St. John's victory in this one. SJU won't let me off the hook this easy. They'll rope me in one more time before slitting my throat with a 1 point BET loss. That's the SJU way.

6-0 finish starts Sunday.
Day off Monday... perfect way to spend a Weekend afternoon with no football.

Like every other abusive relationship. We’re about to get flowers.

St. John’s feeling ripple effects of Walter Clayton Jr. choosing Florida
In an alternate universe, Rick Pitino is touting his backcourt as among the country’s best.

And, he's a lateral transfer (from Syracuse) in his third year with the team. Players like that, who stick around, make a difference.
nah !

I keep at 30 in the fridge (4 different brands) and 6 frosty pint glasses in my freezer at all times.

It’s a good thing Silver Hill is a client. This program has had me wanting to check for 10 years.
....which they never do (yes, you, Daniss Jenkis).
Vegas never loses money.
