In the last 2 games St. John’s is 1 for their last 34 from 3. Playing Xavier and winning currently. And Both teams are 3-28.

League needed Xavier to take a step forward from last season to boost the league's profile and they look about the same
A lot of these guys(miller) lost their fastball when everyone became able to pay guys out in the open.

Cintas Center crowd was quite the whole 2nd half and with 3 minutes left, well wow, almost all the seats in the camera shots are empty.

St. John's put the clamps on Xavier's offense and crushed them on the offensive glass.

To be fair to X, the lost their starting center who would have helped with their defense.

St. John’s is winning without making 3’s, I mean ANY 3’s.

They will be a challenge for us. They have the same “go right at you” approach that PC had … but more talent and better attacking the glass.

Xavier couldn't make an open 3 or even a midrange shot to save their lives and got out-hustled on the defensive boards. And although to a point they played good defense, they really didn't because they didn't close out possessions. Really disappointing effort by the Musketeers- at home no less. They did well when they clogged the paint and forced St. John's to shoot from outside but they were unable to sustain it. At some point you have to make shots. Conwell and Hunter were vitual no-shows.

And they have the glass.

Ross finish should have been an and-1, Georgetown defender grabbed his back and pulled him down to brace his fall, how do refs miss something that blatant

I yelled "where's the foul?!" on that play as well.

Apparently cooley does not suck like many bone yarders believe
never thought he sucked, I just thought he was a disingenuous fake ass that taught his PC players to run to the paint and fall over and put to get foul calls.

The staff needs to make our guys watch the tape of this game and show them they need to play with Marquette's intensity in the 2nd half.

It’s really cool to see Pitino and Cooley seemingly start to wake up these sleeping giants in the conference.

This is the start, they’ll need to recruit real HS talent to fully be back like Hurley did. The transfers they have are good for now to have some in season success.

Hoyas ran out of gas late in this one but without Epps it's difficult for them to maintain ball control. You can't win many games vs. Marquette with 19 turnovers.

That game was a tossup with like a minute left and you guys playing only 7 guys on the road against Marquette. You guys are good, Sorber is such a stud.

I'm not a Cooley fan but the guy can coach.
