Jesus I'm actually thinking about driving down for the game. Someone talk some sense into me

I'm honestly shocked we made it, don't think we deserved it.

 

[SJUalum98]

We drew St. Joe's (and former recruit, Ron Roberts). I guess Rysheed Jordan can come see us play.

Vaux will be playing MCS at 6.

Oh, okay. I wasn't sure what day or time Vaux played.

Maybe, he can show up in the second half. LOL Just clowning.

The seeding is a real surprise. I would have thought six at best, maybe a seven. I can see where they viewed SJU as the last or second to last team in based on the conference and some of the other bubble teams.

I mean Air Force is 17-13. Wyoming was 19-13 but went 4-12 in conference. Arkansas couldn't beat anyone on the road.

Here's the bracket for anyone who's interested.

St Joes doesn't look impressive on paper. Really struggle on the offensive end. Ok defense and rebounding. They don't turn it over much. This game will likely be a close one and played in the 60s.

Would join you if I could

SJU had the least amount of wins in the entire field. Lucky!!!

 

[Della9250]

From the looks of it, the committee thought there were at least four teams below SJU. Maybe five.

No difference in common opponents, except there home win over Fordham was by much more. They also beat Notre Dame in OT at Barclays (early in the year), and tight loss at Nova.

Beat Va. At the Carn. Rd. 2 a few years back. I don't believe their coach survived losing to us.

 

[Porgyman]

Lets show them who the real SJU is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amen! I live in the Philly burbs. I wish that I had a dollar for every time someone has approached me while wearing my St John's stuff, and said something like the Hawk will never die. I've had to hear it for 18 years!
They are still riding the coattails of that Jameer Nelson, Delonte West team. The night that they lost to Okie State at the Meadowlands was a good night for me!

Then we are in trouble 60 is beyond our ability.

well if you think you can make it let me know because if I go I can swing by the city and pick you up to head down there

Could it be they know how we are about money? Bus ride to Philly.
