[Jet915]

All these games are blowouts, hopefully SJU gets it together....can't be good for ratings.

I'm kind of glad these games are blacked out in Indy. Bad hoops in MSG so far.

Here comes St. John's.

Depends on what you mean by "bad hoops".
Creighton and DePaul had combined for only 16 turnovers last night (Creighton only had 5 turnovers...!), which seems like "good" hoops.
#4 Villanova hitting 17 three pointers seems pretty "good" and talented. Marquette had only a 15 hour rest between games.
Currently you have an efficient Friar team on the road that has to hold off an inevitable St John's run... great storylines, Dunn, Henton, Harrison, Obekpa, Jordan, etc...
What's not to like...?

P.S. Please don't turn into Stever's twin.
P.P.S. I'm at work, so I can't watch the game. Occasionally I get a chance to check the boxscore and read here.

I think he's talking about how uncompetitive the games are.

The Marquette/Seton Hall game was pretty ugly. 33 turnovers in the game and just not good basketball.

The Creighton/DePaul game was actually pretty good. Got away from DePaul last 10 minutes. Absolutely LOVED McDermott's speech at timeout with about 10 minutes to go maybe where he said that he's not interested in trading baskets the rest of the way he wanted baskets on offense and stops on defense. Sure enough, that's what happened.

Don't think any 84-49 game can be classified as a good game- especially with it being a 20+ point game last 8 minutes of the game. And PC/St John's looking like could be the exact same thing....

[RedStormHoops]

Why does St. John's always come up small in big games? It's a recurring theme under Lavin

[RedStormHoops]

The St. John's board is so embarassed they think they might miss the tournament because of this... Crazies

Blowouts....games over at halftime.

Indeed. Nova-Providence is going to be fun tomorrow (I hope).
