‘Nova was short handed with 2 of our top 6 players out and a six man rotation. Still, at home you should be able to overcome that and win.. Johnnies came to play and gutted it out. Congratulations to St. John’s.i
RE: How did St. John's lose 11 Big East games in a row? Â
They lost a game at Georgetown in which they were up 5 with 24 seconds left in overtime. I turned the channel thinking the game was over. When I turned back, they were in double OT.
to be ranked #1 on Monday. They have Game Day coming to Charlottesville for our match-up against Virginia Tech who would love to play spoiler.
Getting that #1 ranking would be awesome for the program. Not only would they have gone from NR in the preseason to #1, but it would be the first time they were ranked #1 since 1982.
Don't think they've been closer to us than 15 points in at least 5 years. Take care of business against those jokers and we will be #1....never ever thought I'd see that.
Thanks again Johnnies for knocking off Duke and Nova!
Paul it’s great to get there, but it’s transient. Â
You’ll be there until you lose. But you actually don’t want to be there when the tournament starts. #1 rarely wins the Natty!
Anyway, enjoy it while it lasts’. I respect your program and coach and root for you any time you aren’t playing ‘Nova.
but just reaching that peak is a great thing for any program who hasn't been there in a long time. Tony and the program can hang their hats on it. It's just another talking point / feather in the cap.
#1 also comes with extra name recognition and coverage and that can help with recruiting (I hope).
Nice to get a win in the Big East finally as well.
Combo of
Lots of Bad luck
Bonehead plays
No roster depth
The Lovett saga really did us in
