This is the first season in a while where I think this is going to be a tremendous game. St. Johns finalky seems to be healthy and filled in weaknesses from last year's team. Lots more help at PF/center with Obekpa and Sampson returning and bringing back God's Gift, adding 6'9" Orlando Sanchez and Max Hooper. Backcourt is finally healthy. Jamal Branch at full form after injury last season, return of D'Angelo Harrison and addition if Rysheed Jordan. Everybody else returns. Two amazingly athletic teams who both have the bodies to make it a game. Can't wait for this one this year. It's kinda crazy that it will be an ACC vs Big East matchup though...
Put me down as someone who really wants St. John's to be good. I just think college basketball is better overall with a successful Johnnie team playing in front of a full and lively MSG.
I think SJU will be one of the few teams out there that matches up pretty well athletically and depth-wise with Cuse.
Every bit as athletic... OK, right.Not joking. SJU will be every bit as athletic as Cuse. To tell the truth, both team's will be some of the topsin the country in that department. SU slightly taller up front.

Fox Sports 1 is 219 on DirecTV. I tried watching Fox Sports Live because of how boring and coroprate SC can be and I immediately disliked the wannabe duo of Dan Patrick and Keith Olbemran FS1 had. I like funny guys, but these guys were clowns and were completely more interested in making jokes then freaking just doing the highlights. I am in my 20s and am the audience the FS1 wants and I couldn't take those guys guys seriously. Good luck Fox Sports competing with Sportscenter.what channel for direc tv?
Because our roster has Tyler Ennis 6-2, Mike Gbinije 6-7, B.J Johnson 6-7, Jerami Grant 6-8, C.J. Fair 6-8, Baye Keita 6-10, Rak Christmas 6-9, Dajaun Coleman 6-10, Ron Patterson 6-2, Chinonso Obokoh 6-10 and from sprinkles on top added Tyler Roberson. St. John's may have more depth than before but you don't have as many athletes as we have.Why do you doubt that? You obviously don't know much about SJU's roster.
Cuse by 15That's simply not true. The athleticism top to bottom on SJU's roster is every bit as good. First off, not all the guys you mentioned are world class athletes. Ennis is an excellent player, but a decent athlete. DaJuan Coleman isn't a gazelle either. I thought we were talking athleticism here. SJU has 6'8" Jakarr Sampson, 6'5" Rysheed Jordan, 6'6" Sir Diminic Pointer, 6'8" Christian Jones, 6'4" Felix Balamou, 6'9" Orlando Sanchez, 6'9" Chris Obekpa who are all fantastic athletes. That's not including Jamal Branch, Phil Greene, D'Angelo Harrison, God's Gift and others that are all excellent if athletes themselves, if not as good as the former group. SJU returns the top shotblocking team as well as the #1 shotblocking center in the country.
RutgersAlSJUBall is always very level headed when it comes to his team's roster. If he's this optimistic, they must be pretty good.
Ennis should replace the MCW 12 ppg, Grant should see an increase in his production by about 3-4 ppg, Cooney/Gbinjie should get 12 ppg between them, Fair can probably go from 14ppg to about 16-18. Coleman/Chrismtas should go from 10ppg to 15-20 ppg between them. We will score the basketball and our freshman Johnson, Roberson, Patterson should throw in a little.Syracuse loses almost 42 ppg of production from last season and only returns 1 double digit scorer. That is a massive amount. Who is going to replace that? Cuse has some talented young guys for sure, but for everybody to be soooo sure that they are the most dominating and athletic team around, there are plenty of question marks and several starters have to be replaced. To be clearthough, we were talking about "athleticism". I've seen all of SJU's and Cuse's players. SJU has as many or more pure athletes, but dunkers don't win games. SJU needs to show they are a better team. Cuse has repeatedly thrashed us. SJU needs to start stepping up to the plate in this matchup.

Let me break this down for you as I did already but you didn't compute it.There is a massive amount of inflation in those numbers to be realistic methinks. Ennis goes automatically to double figures, Grant near double figures, 6ppg for both Cooney and Gbinje, nearly 20/game for Fair, almost 10ppg a piece??? I just don't see it. I like a lot of Cuse's pieces, but that speculation is very generous I think. Ennis will have a very hard time replacing MCW's 12ppg, especially as a freshman, and I know the kid is good but that is a lot to ask.
You think grant will only average 7 points this year? I got 50 bucks he goes for atleast 12 a game.Ennis should replace the MCW 12 ppg, Grant should see an increase in his production by about 3-4 ppg, Cooney/Gbinjie should get 12 ppg between them, Fair can probably go from 14ppg to about 16-18.
