November Big East OOC thread

[superjohn]

I am not saying the woman are not great shooters, great athletes or good basketball players and I am sure they are better basketball players than I ever was. I am saying they could not play against men and I am sure they say the same thing. I go to some D3 games and the UConn women would not have a chance against them. To think otherwise is delusional. I wish the fans of women's basketball would stop this nonsense.

My buddy who played D3 ball played with and against Taurasi when they were both a few years out of college. He was a good 6'2-6'3 D3 player on a really good D3 team. He's a humble guy, I asked him if he could beat Taurasi and he quickly said yes. He said she's very good but she wouldn't be able to play on his D3 team. Taurasi is considered the greatest female basketball player ever. It puts things in perspective.

It's bizarre someone would actually think some 5'10 UConn women's basketball player could play for any D1 men's team let alone make 100 or so D1 men's teams better than they are. I could see some 90 year old blue hair from CT. saying it with a straight face though.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

This has to be schtick. She wouldn't get a shot off and she'd foul out almost immediately on defense. She's an amazing player and a ton of fun to watch but there's just too big of a size and athleticism differential between the men's and women's games. There's just no point in comparing the two, let's just appreciate Azzi for how good she is without trying to make these absurd comparisons because it denigrates her abilities.

that's nice. people vote on lots of stuff, sometimes right, sometimes wrong.
here are some recent vote things.
barfcoin.
metaverse.
disney.
they say that people vote with their wallets.
i think those who voted thumbs up on that stuff are now much poorer.

You’re welcome

We've all done it.

Joel Soriano has 9 rebounds in like 7 minutes for St Johns against Nebraska. On pace for 50 rebounds.

This is the worst best game ever.

 

[auror]

Nebraska is packing three guys in the paint on every possession. Playing Curbelo and Posh makes both of them worse.

 

[auror]

Lmao Curbelo hid and then stole the ball before Posh kneed it out of bounds.

 

[SixRings]

Nebraska’s handling isn’t very good 1 - 5. SJ taking full advantage now.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I love Posh Alexander and on another team, Curbelo could be an electric guard, but two non-shooters in the backcourt will kill the ceiling for St. John’s.

Honestly, the team would be better w/ Addae-Wusu and Storr rotating in the backcourt w Posh and Mathis…have some combination of those two or three at all times, but that can’t happen with Curbelo on the team.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I love the way Mike Anderson teams play defense. I love the aggressive offense, but after a while the paint gets crowded. Nothing wrong with an uncontested jump shot every now and then.

This is the second SJU game I've watched this year and they're a really bad team with a really good one-man offense in David Jones. So pretty much the same exact team as last year but add Posh and downgrade Champagnie

 

[superjohn]

Johnnies amped up the ball pressure and just destroyed Nebraska second half.

I don't know if they'll find enough shooting to be a tournament team but they're going to win a lot of games just with their defense.

I could see David Jones becoming an NBA player, that dude can ball.

 

[auror]

Nebraska imploded. Credit to St. John's for wearing them down and hitting some shots in the 2nd half. But also, Nebraska real bad.

 

[auror]

Did this production team just forget about Minnesota vs. Depaul? They didn't have anyone in the Depaul team in the best Gavitt players graphic (but had one from every winning B1G team) and just now the announcer said this would be the Big East's first victory.

 

[shizzle787]

Two wins so far tonight. Big win for St. John's.
29-5 (2-4).

To be fair it's very easy to forget about DePaul

 

[superjohn]

Kalkbrenner just missed a three after making 23 field goals in a row.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I don't think St. Johns is great, but I don't know how anyone watches that game and reaches the conclusion that St. Johns is bad. St. Johns stomped a Big 10 team in the second half. Scoreboard.

 

[Bobol]

I believe StJohn’s is a better team this season than last

Soriano and transfer in David Jones are very good players. I have doubts about transfer in Cunello may be more sizzle than substance.

I can see the Johnnies making the NCAA this season.

 

[Jimdish255]

Kalkbrenner just missed a three after making 23 field goals in a row.

He's a monster. Hoping Clingan can dominate like that in his career.

 

[shizzle787]

Marquette and Creighton took care of business.

31-5 (2-4)
