[quote="gman" post=404176]I don’t know what class schedules look like but we should try to get ASU to stay in the bubble and Uconn, Seton Hall, BYU and BC should get some games scheduled. Call up anyone else in the tri-state that can join in.[/quote]

Finals for St. John's goes from Dec. 2nd through the 8th but with everyone thing on line for the rest of the semester, you can take your finals anywhere.
 
Press release

I salute the school for canceling the Trip to texas Tech. I have been worried about the trip there for the last few weeks given the high rise in Covid positivity in Texas and the possibility of exposing our coaches and team to the virus.
 
QUEENS, N.Y. – Following the postponement of the Red Storm's Big 12-BIG EAST Battle matchup against Texas Tech, St. John's has added a game for this Wednesday night against BYU at Mohegan Sun Arena.

Tip-off between the Johnnies and the Cougars is scheduled for 5 p.m. on ESPN2.

The game will be played as part of the Roman Legends Classic, which has shifted from a bracketed format to a "showcase" format after Vanderbilt dropped out due to COVID concerns. BYU will play USC on Tuesday before taking on St. John's the following day. On Thursday, UConn will play USC before Florida and Boston College close the event.

St. John's won the Legends Classic in 2018 when the tournament was held in Brooklyn. The Johnnies downed Cal in the opener before outlasting VCU in overtime to claim the title. Shamorie Ponds set a Legends Classic record by scoring 67 points in two games.

St. John's and BYU will meet for the ninth time in the history of the two programs and the first since 1990. The Johnnies are 7-1 all-time against BYU and have won the past six meetings between the two teams, including a matchup on Dec. 8, 1990, that saw Malik Sealy score 26 points in the championship game of the Cougar Classic in Provo. St. John's also participated in and won the Cougar Classic in 1975.

BYU enters the week with a record of 3-0, having picked up home wins over Westminster, New Orleans and Utah Valley. The Cougars, who went 24-8 a season ago, received votes in both the preseason Associated Press and USA TODAY Sports Coaches polls.

I heard that Westminster game was a real dog fight.

Quick on BYU: they are old, experienced, and can shoot the stuff out of the ball. Will be playing on Tuesday night & then against St. John's on Wednesday.

Brought in three transfers this season, including a 6'11" center and 7'3" center Matt Haarms from Purdue. #sjubb

And those 30 year old shooters they always have coming off 10 year Mormon missions :)
 
BYU has had to battle Gonzaga and to a lesser extent St. Mary’s for years. They are a never an easy game.

Cougars are always pretty solid. They have talent, depth and since most of them go on a Mormon mission, they'll be 2-3 years older than our players. The game will be another good test for us.
 
These are the kind of games you want to play. Sounds like they can shoot it and are big. Mismatch? Maybe not. Maybe SJU can pressure them and force them into playing at SJU pace. Our guys are going to have to learn to play with all types of teams. Good matchup that I am actually looking forward to.

Last time we played them, Shawn Bradley (the 7'6" future Net) was on BYU. IIRC, both he and Malik Sealy had big games, but we got better play from our supporting cast, and won by 7 or 8.

You must've been the only person at Alumni Hall, lol.

We played BYU in the Cougar Classic out in Provo. It was a four team tournament and the Johnnies beat BYU in the championship game during the 1990-'91 season, 67-62.
