Big East championship week …..

Johnnies giving Nova a tough time in this 1st half.

Nova, St. John's, UConn, Seton Hall - it's great to see the old guard battling it out at MSG on quarterfinal Thursday night.
 
St. John's better not get comfortable here. Once Nova hits a couple three's, this thing could change pretty quick. Johnnies gotta bury 'em six feet deep.
 
Posh with just an awesome pass for the trailing dunk. His passing is underrated (but his defense is overrated).
 
St. Johns needs to weather this. It’s coming.

Horrible block/charge at the end of this half, and then Gillespie cashes in on a pump fake.

We will see if St. John's is disciplined enough to pull this off down the stretch.
 
It would be great for the league if St John's could win tonight. NYC will be buzzing Big East basketball tomorrow as Johnnie's fans come out of the woodwork.
 
Not really sure how to describe this; disorganized chaos may cover it.

I don't care if it may lead to wins, watching this as an example of this sport would lead me to follow professional bowling

Halftime of this game and the Garden is maybe 2/3 full (I guarantee it will be full before our game starts). NYC barely knows St John's exists.

I'm not too proud, I'd love to see SJU knock 'Nova out of our side of the bracket. Nova 1of10 from 3 thus far. Make that 1 of 11

Keep in mind UConn eeked out 2 wins against St John’s. If UConn beats Seton Hall they will have a tough match no matter who win this game.

I hope SJU becomes consistently good so NYC notices a lot more-it benefits the Big East and makes UConn-St. John’s games at MSG more talk of the town material which is also great for the Big East

That said, I REALLY hope Dan Hurley has a plan to counter McDermott's "pack the paint" strategy to suffocate Sanogo offensively whenever we play them next (this season or next). We've seen it twice (AS was 6-16 in Omaha) and he'd be silly to not keep doing it until we can stop it.

Aren't the Huskies playing Seton Hall tonight? :rolleyes:
 
NYC barely knows St John's exists - that's what happens when you haven't been relevant for about 20 years.

A good St. John's team is good for the Big East.

Damn right on everything you said.when was SJU’s last good season? 2000 when they got the 2 seed and got upset by Gonzaga

Providence is a weird team for the tournament. They're great at winning close games which is what you want in the tournament but they aren't all that good so they'll be in a dogfight with a 13 or 14 seed. They could easily lose first round or they could somehow make a run to the elite 8.

I’m convinced they are losing their first game. Their luck will run out.
 
If Xavier isn't going to make it, would love if SJU won the auto bid (next after us winning it of course).

This game still has a bit more than 13 minutes left. It feels like the second half started about two hours ago

And you’ve got to suffocate, drown, and then put a spike through Nova’s heart to take them down. I hope Anderson has a couple curve balls ready.
 
Big Nova run. This is the storm the Red Storm has to weather.
