St. John's vs. Towson exhibition

I never understood the need for some people to stick up for other teams on this board. It seems like they actually get angry if you don't think another team is good.

Bizzare.

There’s a strange Pitino fan base here. Always found it interesting .

No one knows how good or bad they’ll be. All hot takes. The argument that they won’t be good feels more like a disgust of a heavy portal roster. Pope got to the S16 with a brand new roster last year, and those players weren’t even that good. It can work, perhaps to a limit.

It unfortunately seems to be another Pitino developmental roster. The Johnnies are gonna rack up OOC losses then rack up BE wins.

He's a tremendous coach and typically gets his teams to play at a high level. The only question I see with St. Johns, this year v. last year, is that last year's team was built on a lot of guys who transferred in as more role players (no alphas). This year, you have a lot of guys who transferred who see themselves as NBA players, go to guys, etc. He will need to mold them into a group willing to defer to others at times and willing to do little things. That's the key, will some of those guys accept a secondary role or will they not do the little things that his team was willing to do last year to win. I would likely bet on the former but I can't dismiss the latter. That's why they are so fascinating to watch this year.

When did I quote you? Getting sensitive over the Johnnie’s is quite the development lmao.

Not a St. John's fan, just don't like people moshing up what I said.

Yeah, that's it.
