Really nervous about this game. I feel like if we had Obekpa we would have a 50% chance to win and even have a shot at Duke to sneak in the Sweet 16. Without him I don't see us having much more than a 25% chance of winning. The fact that we literally have no real big men, no bench, and have a long history of being awful in tourney situations coupled with the last 2 blowouts in conference going 1 and done in the BET and I don't feel confident at all.

The only saving grace IMO is that our guys should all be healthy. They have had tons of time to get treatment and rest up. Anything less than Harrison's A game and we are toast. We need to be hitting from outside or this game will get very ugly. SDSU is going to attack the paint all game knowing we have basically all guards. This is definitely winnable though. Other teams have guys step up. Why can't we have Amar and JDR step up? All they need to do is get some rebounds and avoid foul trouble and we may pull the upset.

Glad St. John's is wearing red. Don't like them in anything but red. Jordan with 2 quick fouls.

For a team that generally isn't very accurate from three and that generally doesn't take a lot of them, San Diego State sure is attempting and making a lot early on.

Have to assume they will come back to earth. Jay Bilas told me they can't score.

Oh, if Jay Bilas said it! :-P

But in all seriousness, they probably will, but they've built a little cushion and have an elite defense to back them up.

Lavin should get the boot. He does little to no game time adjustments and St Johns is a good job

No inside defensive presence without Obekpa, no depth and SDSU uncharacteristically hit a lot of 3's....oh well.
