NFT: St. John's wraps up an at-large

Winning the game they needed to avoid the bad loss at Marquette. They'll get one of Butler, G'Town or Providence in the Big East tournament so unlikely that any other bad losses get onto their resume. Congratulations to Harrison, Greene, Sir'Dom, Obekpa, Branch, Jordan and the rest. It'll be good to see their name appear on 3/15 on CBS

sucks but they played very well for the last 35 minutes. I still dont like Lavin but they are definitely in the tournament now. Happy for the seniors.

If they shoot the three like they did tonight they can make some noise, but the lack of a bench will probably hurt them

Hopefully we give Nova a run on Saturday. I think we get Butler which has been a terrible matchup for the johnnies this year
I also don't think they have to worry about playing in Dayton either

on Tuesday or Wednesday because their RPI is 34 and losses to teams like Nova, Providence, G'Town or Butler won't collapse their RPI
they'll be a 9 seed

probably. Maybe 8. No worse than 10

It depends...if they lose to Nova and then get bounced in Round 1 of the Big East tournament they will be a 10, maybe even an 11, but they'll avoid Dayton. However if they somehow won the BE tournament or got a win over Nova (or both) they'd be much much higher than an 8, possibly as high as a 5. All depends on how Saturday and the conference tournament shakes out

take it as a rumor , but a friend of mine who knows people inside the administration says they aren't happy with Lavin but are waiting until after the season to address it. The constant recruiting of kids he has been told to back off on like dominick artis doesn't sit well with the new university president. Happy for the seniors. Lets see if they can make some noise. If lavin lands diallo, lovett and yaswe i dont see how they move him though.

There can't be real progress for St John's if they don't fire Lavin.
Greg, I heard a talking head the other day....

advocating Lavin as Coach of the Year in the Big East.
Might have been Austin Croshere.

Not sure though.
