I hope St Johns are like Clippers in NBA. Buy all their players but choke when it matters. I hope UCONN do the favor and win by 50 against this SOULESS program. BOUGHT teams deserve to reap what they sow. Especially with that coach...... I can say worse but we have to keep it PG here. Sad seeing that crappy human coach succeed, but that's life.
St Johns will never get my respect. I used to like this JOKE school. BOUGHT team like in professional sports. I hope they enjoy succeeding only cause of MONEY. F them and all these teams benefitting from money.

At least a program like Creighton developed players for years and won through true culture and developmen
So tell me what good college team is not BOUGHT. I would love to know. Using UCONN and NOVA who spent like drunken sailors last offseason makes you look ignorant . UCONN spent more than St. John’s this year and by a decent margin. Demary ain’t making peanuts to move from SEC to UCONN.

Do yourself a favor and don't engage. The therapists are going to earn some extra money this weekend. Logic has no place.

Game was a microcosm of the season IMO. We played hard, we did some good things defensively, we fought and ultimately we just weren't good enough. End of the day though, this was an enormously positive season coming off last. It may not be what people wanted after the 14-2 start, but that was as much about the OOC as anything else. 20 wins. 10 in the league. Good chance to play at least on a Friday night. And hey maybe we upset Uconn or SJU on Friday and make Saturday interesting, with a shot to dance. I don't think its happening, but let's get to Friday night and have some fun. It certainly beats last year.

You think they would be nothing with Pitino in 2020. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What a dumb *** statement. Show me one bad season Rick Pitino season ever had in college basketball.
2020 is better than anything this current big east conference was. The last two years don’t even match to the parity and quality Nova run big east was.

Our 2020 team had way better talent than not this idiotic low IQ players but St John’s BOUGHT team of bag chasers.

Gill and Mamu would run circles over Hopkins and Ejofor.

Then add POY candidate and BE POY Powell. Powell would’ve easily won this game.

The whole roster would be way more disciplined and would commit the most idiotic turnovers and defending over this team.

St John’s don’t impress me one bit. At least UCONN you can see they mostly play good fundamental and tactical basketball.

St John’s won cause of idiocy from our team
And winning by talent. I don’t see some system.

And it’s so frustrating cause I know Shavar and McKnight would pick apart that role player darling.

So many turnovers this game but gets away with high scoring cause a 5ft 9 PG and terrible defending.

Yes Pitino in 2020 leads St. John’s to possibly very good tournament team, but they aren’t better than us, Creighton, and Nova.

They wouldn’t be ranked when playing field was fair.

That is your choice whether you would like to share or not.

But if you chose to just watch the first half and then ignore watching the rest of the game, when the season was on the line, then you’re not a real fan in my book.

If there was something that required your attention, then I hope all is OK.

But there are fans that come on here all the time to share their evaluations/ criticisms of the team, Sha, program etc etc, who really aren’t committed fans. I could do without those opinions.

Sha should not have had to come out and plead with people to show up for tonight’s game.

We knew all season what this team was in terms of there artistic (or lack there of) style of basketball. But they gave us games to cheer for with meaning all the way up until the end of the BE season.

At this point of the night, I don’t need to evaluate how some of sets looked like in the first half and hope he embraces more three point shooting in the portal.

I am just appreciative that I could watch Seton Hall basketball not repeat the 7-25 of last year.

Since you clearly want to be an a** My wife has been sick for 2 weeks, myself a week. Its a 9 pm start time. Hopefully I gave you enough clues as to why we turned the TV off and I kept up with the score from my bed.

I don’t watch as many games as I used to since NIL became a big factor, i’ve become more of a casual fan. I still stop by and post from time to time.

You sound bitter towards the fan base as a whole. Take that out on someone else. If i don’t meet your criteria of a fan feel free to ignore my posts moving forward.

Who do you like that isn't bought? We spent $6 million, does that count at bought?

Creighton has bought players for years.

Get out from under the rock.

These were some of the dumbest takes one person can have in a post. Come on dude you make yourself look ignorant statement after statement.


2020 is better than anything this current big east conference was. The last two years don’t even match to the parity and quality Nova run big east was.

Answer: No. UCONN won 2 out of last 3 NCAA titles and team 2 years ago was best Big East team in decades

Our 2020 team had way better talent than not this idiotic low IQ players but St John’s BOUGHT team of bag chasers.

Gill and Mamu would run circles over Hopkins and Ejofor.

Answer: Check back when Zuby wins BEPOY and then gets drafted in 1st round in June. What NBA team is Gill playing for?

Then add POY candidate and BE POY Powell. Powell would’ve easily won this game.

Answer: Longing for a guy that sued the program. Ok glad you have Powell’s back because he certainly did not have Seton Hall’s recently.

The whole roster would be way more disciplined and would commit the most idiotic turnovers and defending over this team.

St John’s don’t impress me one bit. At least UCONN you can see they mostly play good fundamental and tactical basketball.

Answer: 18-2 in each of the last 2 years. And that includes 3 of last 4 matches with that fundamental and tactical basketball team. Hard grader I see.

St John’s won cause of idiocy from our team
And winning by talent. I don’t see some system.

Answer: Best switching defensive system in the country. I guess defense is overrated in your book.

And it’s so frustrating cause I know Shavar and McKnight would pick apart that role player darling.

Answer: Darling was Big Sky player of the year. I would take guys him, Tyler Kolek and Brady Schierman from small schools any day. Guys like them make good teams great.
He embarrassed Silas Demary at MSG this year. Turned him several times. If he can play a superb player like Demary straight up he can handle the two you just mention. And his father was a former 10 year NFL linebacker so he is more athletic than he looks.

So many turnovers this game but gets away with high scoring cause a 5ft 9 PG and terrible defending.

Answer: Way to knock a gutsy 5’9 PG who plays the game with heart.

Yes Pitino in 2020 leads St. John’s to possibly very good tournament team, but they aren’t better than us, Creighton, and Nova.

Answer: you can’t say that with any certainty.

They wouldn’t be ranked when playing field was fair

Answer: not worth a response
