1.   The team has more resilience than the Scoop denizens.   
2.   Froling = Kinsella   His defense on Govan was no worse than anyone else's.
3.  Those missed lay ups go for Cain in 8 months and 15 lbs.   He played well tonight.    In on defense with 45 seconds left. 
4.  Not Sacar's best night.
5.  Freshmen are like a box of chocolates.   You never know what you are going to get.     Before Froling played his minutes, I was going to point out that it was nothing but freshmen off of the bench.     
6.   How high to you play your defense on that last play of regulation?    With no time outs to set up.    If a foul had been committed at half court, there would be an equal amount of whining and complaining.       Damned if you do...........
7.   The doubling of Govan was somewhat effective.      The zone got gashed, Wojo went man.    If the zone had worked, he would have stayed with it. 
8.   3 pt shooting vs. free throws tonight.
9.   How anybody can still make the argument that Elliott should be taking minutes from Howard or Rowsey is beyond me.   Situational defensive switch?   OK.     Actually play major minutes at their expense?    Ludicrous.   
10.   As it rang through the arena at the end of the overtime..... We are.... Marquette.

Ok when was the last time MU hit 18 threes in a game?

Fook GT and Ewing.

11. This team is a finite number of lucky bounces, calls, etc. away from being like 11-6 in the BEAST.  Unfortunately they're also the same amount of bounces away from being 6-11.  Our record is fair, we need a needle moving defensive philosophy over the summer.

12. NIT should be the expectation for this season regardless of the outcome of today's game.

[Herman Cain]

Was a very exciting Big East game tonight. Love this conference and it will only get better over time.  Sam is a pure pleasure to watch. The kid is so fundamentally sound. JJJ knew best when he said Sam was his favorite college basketball player last year.

Joey 6'9
Bailey 6'9
Morrow 6'7 load
Ike 6'10

No more getting pushed around.    A graduate PG away from some serious damage.

Never, do believe that's a team record. Think the previous was 15 or 16 set earlier this year

Fook GT and Ewing.

It really weirded me out to hear the announcers call him Pat Ewing. It just sounds wrong

[nyg]

People love Howard and Rowsey together when shots fall, hate it when they don't. 

Sam was awesome with clutch shot at end of regulation. 

Sacar has miracle game, then downhill since. Why does he keep throwing balls to fans?

Rowsey out of control at times, but when he gets it going, watch out.

Still too many fouls, 24 to 8 fits made tonight.  Cut down on them, those stupid turnovers and win next two.  Fun game to watch with the threes being made.

[oldwarrior81]

18 makes against Chicago State earlier this year.

Including 11 from Howard, 6 from Rowsey and 1 for Cain

[peterpan]

Kept the season alive with a win. A win over creighton and one in the big east tournament going to be enough?

[tower912]

Have to beat SJU at MSG.  Ick.

Tough game. We have to get the NY area faithful out to root the team on. I know I will be going if I am in town.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I think we might count this as the game where the Big 3 finally played well together.

The fact that a thread popped up about not missing Rowdy in a game where he had 28 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists, and 3 turnovers is hilarious.

Zone got shredded. Playing one midget at a time also got shredded. Maybe not the miracle cures that were promised.

I love watching Cain rebound. He gets ALL the way up there.

Rolling Froling! He finally got to see the ball go through the hoop. Not going to get overly excited but maybe this lift the lid for him so to speak.

Where's Sacar?

That pick and pop play with Rowdy and Hauser is so so deadly. Hauser's only miss of the night was on that play that Wojo called out of timeout. Thought it was a great call but was worried that a missed shot on a perfect play call would be the difference. Still found a way to win.

There was a stretch where Georgetown got three crazy bounces in a row that led to three pointers. One bounced off a guy's foot and went straight to a wide open Blair. Boys didn't let it phase them.

That 20 point swing nearly broke me. Fortuantely, the team is more resilient than I am and didn't give in.

I managed to make it through the game without yelling until the last second layup by Mulmore. Heldt literally stepped out of the way and gave him a clear path to the bucket.

Survive and advance! Two more wins to have a shot!

Weird enough over the years. Not many St. John's fan are at the games in the Big East Tournament. That said, I agree with your point.

I know we haven't been good at MSG, but their record at MSG in the Big East Tournament the past 8 years is 2-8. They got one win against a terrible Rutgers team 8 years ago and won the 8/9 game against Georgetown last year. That includes a couple NCAA teams and another 20-win team. As bad as we've been at MSG, I think St. John's has been worse in the BET.

No, beat Creighton and hall loses to Butler and Nova(very likely), and they are the 6th seed.

[brewcity77]

When you say very likely, do you just mean Nova? Because SHU beat Butler on the road and will almost certainly be favored on Saturday.

Might work in our favor. Is a road win against St. John's a higher quadrant than a neutral GTown/DePaul win?

[cheese ball chaser]

Take this win and run for the hills

[Loose Cannon]

Yep, we beat Creighton and then maybe other options open up.

It won't be listed as a road game.

[BM1090]

It will, actually. Played on SJU's home floor so it counts that way

Smoked them in 09 by 30. That was a good day.

I miss the 16 team tournament.
