SJU vs Pitt Game Thread

HUGE game for us. I wish I was in the area so I could attend. I hope you all go and make some noise. Damn, this is a big game!

What was last game you went to?
 
Does it really matter if he starts? He could start, pick up 2 quick fouls and be on the bench. I like the lineup with 2 legit 3 pt threats on the floor, if CO starts it probably means Marco sits. Either way CO will get his minutes.

oh and I'm guessing this game is a pk


We'll be at least 5 point dogs.

Have to disagree, I say Pitt- 1 or -2 the most.

I don't even know off hand...it's that bad. I was going to go the Louisville road game last time I was in Kentucky but something came up. The last game I went to may have been the G'town-STJ BASEBALL game at Citifield. I've seen a few games here in Florida of some of our targets over the last few years.

I''ll be up to attend the Super Bowl next year, and I am planning on catching at least one STJ game while I'm there.

Yeah I was gonna say we will be +2. They have laid a few eggs recently.
 
like i said the prior week if we do not beat pitt and prov good bye tourney hello nit. if we win the following two then we should be able to afford to lose to nortedame then the marquette game is the play ourselves in game. personally i think we split . hope im wrong 3 of 4 and we are in no question.

I feel your pain Marillac. Haven't been to a game since the last visit to Pauley. When I first moved here I always made it out to see a game or two and even a couple of BET's but not so much anymore. I'll be in NY/LI the first two weekends in March but can't get to only home game. Wish that Marquette game was on Sunday instead of Saturday. That one I could have made.

If we beat Pitt, then I won`t be worried about beating Providence. All I`ll want is to one of the last 3 not matter who it`s against. Beat Pitt and lose the last 3 then I`ll consider it a choke job.
If we beat Pitt and put ourselves in good position at 9-6 then there just has to be a way to win atleast 1 of the last 3, especially when we`re talking about making the ncaa.

This game is our biggest game of the year including any of the last 3 games. Why?
We need atleast 2 wins before B.E. tournament, and I don`t think we`ll win 2 of our last 3 which makes this Sunday`s game freaking huge.
I`d like to see the greatest REDMEN behind our bench Sunday Chris Mullin.
 
I'll be going with 5 other relatives, can we make some noise, please? If that last USF game was a sellout, I feel sorry for the kids.
 
I want for at least when DLO hit his second three early when he looked at the crowd and tried to pump them up, i want to atleast hear some response.
 
Start Harrison, Obekpa, Sampson, Bourgault, and Pointer. That's not happening, though.

While Harrison can play spot minutes at the point, we are better off with him playing a 2. This is why Greene is out there so much with Branch down. I do think that Bourgault is big enough to play the 3 and may be better suited as a small forward, that is if we have considewrable size and strength at the 4 and 5.
 
It was a sellout. Announced at 5400, but 6080 used to be a sellout before the renovations.

I wish it wasnt, crowd was dead

What did you want? The game was never in doubt. If it was closer the crowd would have been.

I agree Moose, but I did expect a better greeting for Lavin. Quite honestly, I was expecting a long, standing ovation. It would have been a nice gesture to acknowledge his loss and his return.
 
Section 114 will be well accounted for. At least the couple of rows we occupy :)

With Pitt's height it does matter, especially if we play man to man. Who would guard Adams if Obekpa doesn't start? Sampson? Don't want to have him pick up quick fouls. Pitt faced man defense last game, looked terrible. I'm still worried about Adams, Zanna and Taylor, no easy baskets please. If Obekpa doesn't start then I would expect Lavin to go with a zone. Hopefully, they don't get those wide open three point looks that we so freely give to the opposition.

I'm bringing 20 inflatable SJU mannequins for "MJM Redmen Zone"
 
I like it :)

See you tomorrow. Gman and Kira will be in our section again
 
I would love to see CJ get some burn. He seems like he could match up inside with Taylor, helping to protect Obekpa and Jakarr a bit
