Games tonight

[bac2therac]

Sparty putting a world of hurt on Nebby, up 39-17 at half and now still up 19

 

[bac2therac]

Cuse losing to Louisville
Tennessee throttling Miss St
Marquette up 5 at St Johns with about 7 left

 

[kcg88]

Marquette-St. John's has been the much better game in the early window. Jonnies in trouble if they lose this one at home.


Syracuse is in a dogfight with a dreadful Louisville team.

 

[Degaz-RU]

So does SJU just not play their home games at MSG anymore? This is the third game I’ve seen where they played at Carnesecca Arena.

 

[kcg88]

By the way if St. John's doesn't make the tournament this year that's four years with no appearances for Mike Anderson.

Steve Lavin made it twice in five years and got fired. Chris Mullin made it once in four years and "resigned."

They might be looking for a new coach this offseason.

Would they look at Brandon Knight?

 

[RUChoppin]

Would they look at Brandon Knight?

Every team in need of a HC should look at Brandin Knight, but I hope he turns them down at least for a little while longer.

 

[Degaz-RU]

Would they look at Brandon Knight?

For a team that is part of a power hoops conference, I would find it difficult to believe that they would hire someone with no head coaching experience. They need to hire an up and coming, but successful, mid-major head coach.

 

[Shell21]

when will they force Jimmy B out? never ?

 

[colbert17]

Seton Hall/Creighton tipping off

 

[ScarletDave]

Curbelo not available for St John’s for “not adhering to team rules” … unsurprising from that headcase

 

[kcg88]

Seton Hall/Creighton tipping off

SHU getting run off the court.

 

[fatsam98]

Syracuse survives Louisville, who had a chance to win it at the end but their guy slipped over

BC beat Notre Dame too.

The ACC is trash.

Rick Pitino is the name to watch at St. John’s for next season if Anderson is not renewed.

Not according to Old Man Boeheim

 

[scarlet4life]

SHU getting pounded. Down 43-22 at the half.

 

[RUChoppin]

Jesus, Pirates, get it together

 

[bac2therac]

here comes Minnesota, lead at Wisky which was 12 is now down to 1

 

[scarlet4life]

Creighton beats SHU 83-61 and it wasn't even that close. They were playing backups for the last 6 or 8 minutes. Led by as much as 32 at one point.

 

[bac2therac]

Wisky having trouble closing it out...lead down to 3 with 22 seconds left

 

[nealbo1]

Unbelievable disappointing kid. I’m thankful daily that Pike evaluates the person as much, if not more, as the player.

 

[fatsam98]

Wisky having trouble closing it out...lead down to 3 with 22 seconds left

We're gonna hold Minnesota to under 50 at the RAC. It felt like they turned it over every other possession. God knows how it was even close at the end.

Good for Minnesota's NET, bad for Wisconsin's.

 

[nealbo1]

Minnesota is a turnover waiting to happen on every trip down the floor - we will roll on them early and often . . .

 

[RUChoppin]

NET 15 Virginia goes down at NET 71 Pitt, and will fall behind us tomorrow morning.

And NET 27 Kansas St beat up on NET 9 Texas in a game where no defense was played.... 116-103?

Don't sleep on Minnesota. Talent and hustle. With all those turnovers they had the ball with a chance to tie..., before turning it over again

Pitt is on a roll. Just beat North Carolina too.

 

[bac2therac]

this is a do or die season for Capel at Pitt

 

[BigEastPhil]

this is a do or die season for Capel at Pitt

If Capel doesn’t do it for Pitt, I expect Brandin Knight to be a very serious candidate for the gig - such as it’s his job to lose.

Capel however has 2 big wins vs UNC and Virginia.

 

[BigEastPhil]

Don’t put Wisconsin in your Sweet 16 bracket.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Oh no! More sleep recommendations. Next someone is going to tell me to get one of those CpAP machines

I mean Wahl got hurt and had to leave early on. Minnesota looked awful. Not impressed by Wisconsin either.

 

[Loyal_2RU]

I love mine. Life changing. Me I plan to be awake for all of our games and to recognize that every victory is an achievement.

 

[Loyal_2RU]

I thought that they looked hungry, unfazed, and athletic.

Their youth is a good match up for us.

But they are capable of creating lightening in a bottle.

That said we should win handily.

I’m sure the cost for an MSG game is a lot more and with a meh product probably not a big draw

They play four games there all against classic Big East opponents. Marquette was not expected to be this good. They play Villanova, UConn, Providence, and Georgetown at the Garden.

Wow, I remember when almost all conference games were at MSG

Big East $$$ isnt $$$ anymore

This is the new age

Glad we’re in the B1G

Pitt’s having a pretty good year, and were coming off a win against blue blood UNC, and yet the Pete was barely half full last night against #11 UVA.

I guess the several years of mediocrity and losing has worn down what used to be a pretty rabid fanbase?

The NCAA tournament is in MSG this year (Sweet 16 and Elite 8). So I believe St. John's had to limit the number of games played there otherwise it would count as a home arena and they'd be ineligible to be sent to the East regional. Villanova runs into this issue when tournament games are at the Wells Fargo Center too.
