Per Rothstein:

Georgetown at Illinois
Marquette at Indiana
Ohio State at Creighton
Penn State at Depaul
Seton Hall at Nebraska
Wisconsin at Xavier
St Johns at Rutgers
Michigan at Villanova

Some points:

- Only Glamour Game is Michigan at Villanova (rematch of Championship game)
- Seton Hall has a tough draw at Nebraska - who basically brings back last years' squad
- I was hoping for Georgetown to give it ti McClung and to see Ewing but St Johns is cool
- Marquette at Indiana is underrated game - with 2 up and coming squads
- Big 10 Teams not involved: Mich State; Maryland; Purdue; Mineesota; Iowa and Northwestern. 2 powers in Mich State and Maryland not playing
- Big East Teams not involved: Providence; Butler

Home against St. Johns

Was hoping to see Georgetown to give it to McClung and to see Ewing but St Johns is suffice. Tough squad for sure if Ponds returns as the exhibition this year was chippy.

I am surprised by this. I really thought we would get Georgetown or Marquette but I think it should be a good game. We had our hands full with Ponds and if he is back I expect much of the same.

Man I want to beat this team, last time they got away with some fouls versus us in last minute.

The last 2 times we played them at Queens we got shafted. The one time (Feb of 2011) we came from way back and lost in the last minute by two (58-56). I think the Johnnies outshot us on the foul line like 28-6. Than just a few years ago we had a huge lead in the first half and still led by about 10 with 10 minutes to go. That is when Corey was a frosh. Corey and Sanders were like 2 of 8 down the stretch on the foul line and we lost 61-59. Daniels hit a three from half court but apparently it was like .2 seconds too late. It would have won us the game.

The exhibition game against Saint Johns last season was one of the best games that I watched with both teams battling to the last play .Both teams were scoring at a very high level and their guards were difficult to stop driving to the basket.It reminded me of past Big East games.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

The last time we played them in their place was a horrible game. We should have finished them off in the first half when they couldn't hit a shot. It was two awful teams but we were clearly better and choked it away.

the Tom Crean Classic

I would think that both alumni groups would say "Good for you, Georgia!"
