SU opens -12.5 over St. Johns..

[690West]

Basically the same spread as Eastern Michigan. Part of me thinks we keep it rolling against the bad teams but I also recognize our former Big East record so far this year.

You'd take the points based on our pattern of play . Crush scrubs and look like crap against any major conference opponent.

We need to embrace what we are... an all chucker team . We should be doing what the rockets do which is spread the court , chuck up a bunch of threes.. and hope you make enough . Frankie can play the role of James harden as the drive and dish guy .

Of course as I see this written out , I realize how ridiculous it is. We have nobody to even poorly replicate the harden roll

Perhaps battle eventually

My Dads a big St Johns fan and says they have no shot. Also the euro big who killed us last year is out. Ponds , Lovett, and Ahmed can score in bunches but their defense is attrocious

Lydon playing?

Lydon playing?

I guess he's still a "game time decision"

From DO yesterday afternoon:
"During the open portion of Tuesday’s practice, Lydon stretched, lightly jogged with the team and participated in a low-intensity shooting drill. Lydon’s entire right leg below his knee was wrapped."

UConn was supposed to be really bad too and that didn't work out too well for us haha... I am interested to see how Howard plays tonight against another Big East team (even though not a good one).

No Mussini for St. Johns is the same as no Lydon for us.:noidea:

The recipe to beat SU is to rotate the ball and hit the open 3 which we saw that last year. It's pretty simple, identify shooters and keep them from getting good looks.

huh, didn't realize he was out too - their other Italian, the big guy Alibegavic is also out

$1 million on the Johnnies to cover.

 

[FrancoPizza]

Our record against undermanned teams is not good this year.

 

[two3zone]

This is easy money honestly. St Johns is literal garbage. Give up the points and take the Cuse.
