Big East OOC thread '25/'26

[BGesus4]

Zuby and Hopkins are absolute studs…the rest of this stj roster I’m not convinced are winning pieces

 

[aceboon]

Pace of St Johns/Bama is hectic

 

[superjohn]

Bama guards are crushing St. John's guards and St. John's frontcourt is crushing Bama's frontcourt.

 

[AllHusky]

BIG. OOC TILT for BE

Bama guards are crushing St. John's guards and St. John's frontcourt is crushing Bama's frontcourt.

Yep... Zuby has 15 of SJU's 30.

 

[Drame]

St Johns not running much offense and their D has been snow

 

[HW611]

St Johns looks like a team with no guards, as expected.

Man we should really win the Big East this year. Can't lose it to this makeshift St Johns squad.

 

[superjohn]

This game is crazy, so much speed and athleticism.

 

[Drame]

Hopkins and Zuby arent getting anyone else involved. St Johns is gonna be gassed in the second half.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Bama doing a great job boxing out and keeping SJU off the offensive rebounds.

 

[HW611]

Zubi and Hopkins has 36 of St John’s 44 points.

On mostly one on one taking their guy scores. Really curious how this roster of portal mercenaries with no PG turns out this year.

Seems like a terrible idea, but let's see if Pitino has some magic up his sleeve.

 

[superjohn]

It's crazy how badly the Bama guards are outplaying the Johnnies guards. How are Sanon, Sellers, and Jackson this bad? They're all proven high major guards and they're getting wrecked defensively and doing nothing offensively. Bama's guards are outscoring the St. John's guards 37-6.

 

[TRest]

I can’t stand Hopkins game. Drive into defenders and fling it off the rim, get your foul shots.

 

[gsmooth]

This SJU-Bama game is fast paced track meet. Think like UConn in the 90s and 2004 team.

SJU overly reliant on Zuby and Hopkins.

 

[alexd]

It looks like this SJU team is going to be easy to dislike. 😝

SKU overly reliant on Zuby and Ejiofor.

If only he was an amoeba and they could split him in half like that to make 2 players. Maybe one could be a point guard. 😀

 

[superjohn]

This game feels like it's played on the Autobahn.

 

[superjohn]

St. John's plays zero defense.

 

[aceboon]

Kansas losing Philon as a decommitt due to Harris staying in college forever and getting older guys in the transfer portal was a big whiff

I said their defense would need work at best. I just didn’t see it. And that kind of what happens when you don’t have a pg. They’re insanely talented. They need someone to step up as a table setter

LMFAO, I meant Zuby and Hopkins.

It has nothing to do with not having a point guard. Their offense is fine. The Bama guards get by the St. John's guards every single time and whenever Bama misses they get the offensive rebound.

 

[HW611]

St Johns pretty much getting all their points in transition this half.

 

[KingAG]

Idk how we’d guard Philon lmao

It seems clunky. Could be early season. They do have 12 assist as a team, but only 1 in the second half. They also have only generated 9 3 point attempts. They’re supposed to have shooters this year. You need guys to get paint touches and spray. They’re getting paint touches and shooting.
