MU/St. J Game Thread

[Viper]

Even with the brutal D

They are hitting everything. Soriano canning shot clock prayer jumpers

our D is still in Philly

[CountryRoads]

It's getting stupid now. Wow what a terrible half.

[GoldenEagles03]

We just do not play defense.  Oh well.

[PGsHeroes32]

A complete and utter embarrassment on one end of the floor.

[mileskishnish72]

I hope Sanogo's not watching.

[PointWarrior]

Well - everything can't keep going this way for St John's

[Viper]

I'm confused by our defense to this point.

it didn't make the trip

[mugrad_89]

Yuck - what a lazy sloppy first half. 

[JakeBarnes]

Shaka should keep using oso at the top of the key. I don't think St John's has made enough layups yet

[MUEng92]

I'm waiting to see the fun to watch MU team that I've been watching in the recent past

[MuggsyB]

Incredibly frustrating 16 mins.  They have basically scored on every possession where they have not turned it over.  I do not see much intensity at all on the defensive end. 

[BCHoopster]

And some of you think Oso might leave early, Soriano killing him

[Daniel]

Wow we are looking so weak on defense.   Wow.  Unreal.  And their Alexander us having a great game.   Need to figure this out.   And SJ doesn't shot 3s well.  Wow how many do they have?  This is an important momentum game.  Need it. Gooo Maequette!

It can, and will, if we continue to defend the way we have so far.

I LOVE Oso, but he can't shoot at all to play the stretch 4 in the nba. And he sure as hell can't rebound and defend against NBA 5's. He's having a bad game but even in spite of that, everyone pump the breaks on the pro talk.

Hopefully not giving the rest of the league a blueprint.  Seton Hall just beat St. Johns by like 20 or 30.

Man, it didn't cross my mind other schools haven't scouted Marquette yet for a blueprint on how to beat them

[MUEng92]

I get the feeling if I put a St. John's uniform on and went out on the court, I'd hit 3 straight 25' three pointers.

It seems to be an annual ritual that SJU runs roughshod over MU when they play in NYC.

And this announcer is doing nothing to hide his glee at how things are proceeding. Going to have to watch this with the sound off.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Well...unlikely SJU shoots that well next half.

[GoldenEagles03]

Big bucket for OMax.  He's a mismatch for this St. Johns team.  He needs to get more involved at the rim.

[mugrad_89]

Making free throws would be nice.  😳

[PointWarrior]

What a dog crap half

[Fred Garvin]

Terrible free throw shooting team

[Dish]

Johnnies shooting 58.3% when you take Soriano's numbers out, they're just hitting everything. Not going to be sustainable in the second half, I don't know if MU can win, but this should end up a close game.
