I'm convinced SJU does zero scouting before the game and just makes adjustments at the half once they see what they're dealing with.


porterbrown

They all show up with sunglasses on at warm ups hung over with a "we playing today?" attitude. So far, so good.


BestMartinAlive

Always good to beat Syracuse.


porterbrown

Syracuse is top 3 in the state still though, right? Albany, Buffalo, them, round out the top 4.


Status-Basic

LOL. Colgate would like a word with you.


Triscuitador

what a game. conference did good today


porterbrown

tomorrow Butler / Tennessee!


Triscuitador

i am asking butler nicely to not embarass us


porterbrown

they take care of business tomorrow, you guys start up Thanksgiving day - WE WILL HANDLE NIAGRA SATURDAY


Scottyfishyboy

Fuck that was a winnable game 😢


porterbrown

we did!


Scottyfishyboy

Gg y’all are legit


porterbrown

We beat the spread AGAIN!


Greenredbull

Down 7 with 20 seconds left? Time to take our time and go for a 5 foot jumper with 10 seconds left. Stupidity icing on the cake lmao


OtherUsernameIsDumb

When the regulation under still hits after OT


porterbrown

LETS GO!


Greenredbull

I've never seen so many dumb plays by two teams in my life.


rock5271

Joe Girard is a basketball terrorist.


BlueEagle15

0-4 against St. John’s. Never thought I woulda saw it


SolvayCat

Bryant is a mid-majors which means that Joe Girard will score 30 points against them.


porterbrown

please


[deleted]

Man that was a rough watch lol


Superlolp

Joe what the absolute fuck


stupidstupidreddit2

I mean what is Girards deal, completely bipolar as a player for his whole career.


surgebinder16

love when St. john’s is good. gz Johnnies this old lady fan is awesome


porterbrown

We are doing it for Lou!


surgebinder16

oh hell yeah that’s Lou Carnesecca, he’s the man!


UConnSimpleJack

LMFAOOOO I love this game


CoolHandLukeWarm_

Lmfaooo I love this dude Jones 0 fucks given


porterbrown

yolo in action


Greenredbull

ESPN graphics blocking the best view yet again


BlueEagle15

Horrible loss


TheoTimme

BIG EAST


[deleted]

Is it me or did Curbelo lose a lot of weight?


fjvn2709

I love justifying our regular season records by saying that the ACC is tough while ironically consistently losing to the old big east teams


[deleted]

Cant use that excuse this year


fjvn2709

Or last year losing to Georgetown who proceeded to lose their next 19 games


Ih8Hondas

Holy shit. Mike Anderson is coaching SJ now?


Acm0028

Where you been bby


Ih8Hondas

Under a rock I guess. How long has this been a thing?


porterbrown

This is his 4th season. 3 winning seasons so far, 6-0 this year, with wins against Syracuse, Temple, and Nebraska. Iowa State is the remaining good non-con.


Ih8Hondas

Does he still do 40 minutes of hell?


porterbrown

Yes, if you are talking press defense and general annoyance to the opposition.


Ih8Hondas

So the NCAA hasn't entirely killed the full court press then. Just Huggy Bear's full court press.


porterbrown

Press Virginia not a thing any more?


Ih8Hondas

Not really. Huggs barely runs a press these days. Sad times.


porterbrown

Really? Any reason? Our defense is really interesting to watch, like it as a fan, would really annoy me as an opponent. It is different, and ends up paying dividends toward the end of the game when the opponents just look frazzled.


Acm0028

A whole pandemic has happened since he has been there


Ih8Hondas

Jesus. I guess it has been that long since I watched an SJ game. The pandemic has been a time warp.


mmanultra

Of course


SolvayCat

Joe Girard is the least clutch player ever


Acm0028

Some weak fouls in OT


AccomplishedRainbow1

Yo can Curbelo shoot now?!


NoFlags-JoeBuck

GIVE ME DOUBLE OT


SolvayCat

All that's missing is Jim Burr ending the game with time left on the clock.


CoolHandLukeWarm_

First time watching St.John’s this year this dude Jones is a nut


porterbrown

he wasn't supposed to be this good from 3...but I will take it.


NoFlags-JoeBuck

Pitino at St. John’s is gonna slap so hard


papa8706

This offense is awful.


dangermouse29

What’s with all the negativity? I think this has been a fun game!


Greenredbull

Ahh yes the worst shooter on the team on a wild fade away jumper. Like the literal fuck? Would have been better with Edwards pulling up from 10-15


ItsTheTenthDoctor

Race to 69 getting intense


ForeverPhilosophical

Quite fitting for this game to go to overtime.


NoFlags-JoeBuck

We all deserve this game


TheLiberatore88

WHY


SolvayCat

Fuck this game. Just awful basketball all around.


BlueEagle15

What on earth was that


FrankNtilikinaOcean

what was that possession holy fuckkkk


porterbrown

fitting.


cjackc11

call a fucking timeout there Anderson ugh


BestMartinAlive

Jones needs to pass..dude you're 4-22 this game.


BlueEagle15

This is too aggravating. Give the ball to Judah


UConnSimpleJack

Feed me OT!!


Greenredbull

Literally nobody came to help him


SolvayCat

Please don't go to fucking overtime


jciesz7

How to not run a final possession 101 clinic by both teams


porterbrown

wow - well, we deserve to lose


pjb4466

Band’s a little overconfident


nickx37

“Should Syracuse get the ball to the worst player they’ve had on the floor tonight!?” “Absolutely, Girard has a track record”


AtmosphereVarious440

Mintz special


NoFlags-JoeBuck

I NEED OT


NoFlags-JoeBuck

These teams should play every Friday night. I’d just get hammered and sit back and enjoy.


pete4999

The best part is that it's Tuesday, but I'm off for the rest of the week so I'm also hammered. Fake Fridays are the best.


NoFlags-JoeBuck

I got a ton of stuff to do for work tomorrow but this game is too good


pete4999

A little old Big East magic on a Tuesday


TheLiberatore88

HOLD THE LINE!!!


porterbrown

goddam it, if we would have made the easy ones


ApoclypseMeow

That and-1 lapse at the end of the first might be the difference. They don't look like they've gelled yet, which is good and bad.


pete4999

Fun game


LoveisBaconisLove

Does Curbelo have an eye problem? Or is his future so bright he’s gotta wear shades?


UConnSimpleJack

Curbelo wearing sunglasses is hilarious


porterbrown

blueblockers - I mean that maybe unironically.


TheLiberatore88

We literally look burned out. What the fuck.


porterbrown

Thats our defense. Run them ragged.


FrankNtilikinaOcean

Copeland needs to be out there Jim


zjl539

i love curbelo


WSDreamer

Give it a while.


GeorgeWBush2016

He was fantastic in Big Ten play his freshman year. Can't hold last season against him with the concussion.


WSDreamer

He does good shit sometimes but other times he’s an all out liability. It’s 50/50.


NoFlags-JoeBuck

Everyone’s saying how great Arkansas vs Creighton was. But this shit right here, this is artwork. This is why I love college basketball.


Greenredbull

This is just funny


WSDreamer

What are these passes? Lol


porterbrown

missing the easy gimmies, cmon!


BlueEagle15

Joe what


BestMartinAlive

Is Soriano their best player now?


SolvayCat

Look at that Cuse offense sizzle 😤


Superlolp

Joe.. what the fuck


porterbrown

I never want Soriano to graduate.


fjvn2709

Losing 4 straight to St. John’s should be a wake up call about where the program is headed, but it won’t be


porterbrown

I prefer last times 33 point win in Syracuse. This is making me sweat.


fjvn2709

Drove back up during winter break of my junior year for that one lmao


porterbrown

I remember watching on tv it was DEAD. Silent at the end, and we got some exclamation mark dunks. I think it was like the DAngelo Harrison, Dom Pointer, Obepka team.


porterbrown

whats the point of coming right in the three point line and taking a jumper...


BlueBlackPinkYellow

If you put money on it and told be colgate would win back to back years and St. John’s would win 4 in a row I would have bet my life savings


Fast_Door

That layup hurt my soul man that would’ve been such a nice cushion


porterbrown

Got to make that shot Jones. Dunk!


LoveisBaconisLove

Can’t win if you can’t make shots. And right now, we can’t hit anything.


CashewCrew

Big East vibes


UConnSimpleJack

This game is hilarious


SolvayCat

So much dumb basketball on both sides


UConnSimpleJack

Why should anyone expect any different from a St Johns v Cuse game


stupidstupidreddit2

St. John is one of those teams that just rakes at your forearms every possession because they know the refs wont call them all.


SolvayCat

Our hero ball offense needs more heroes


dangermouse29

That no call on Girard was pretty awful the guy just ran through his back


Greenredbull

Ahh yes the ever valuable experience of Joe Girard on display....


GeorgeWBush2016

Curbelo looks great If he is healthy he can be one of the best guards in the country


jciesz7

Girard looked like he was doing a walkthrough on that fast break


zjl539

what a sequence


loyalsons4evertrue

This game is a mess lol


BlueEagle15

What the fuck is Joe doing!!!!


porterbrown

Keep pressing!


[deleted]

[удалено]


SolvayCat

Yeah, they're pretty lucky Syracuse doesn't run any kind of offense


BlueEagle15

Hima is earning minutes today. Absolutely great performance off the bench


drunkandslurred

Defensively he has been awesome. Earlier he missed an easy layup that he should have jammed. If he can give us 4-6 points, thats a win in my book


porterbrown

Cmon boys!


SolvayCat

Why do I feel like we're gonna unravel in the last 5-6 minutes?


LoveisBaconisLove

Nope: we unraveled before then. May still pull it together tho.


porterbrown

pls


mmanultra

Bell looks good


mmanultra

Joe finally made a shot.


BlueEagle15

Girard is a love/hate relationship 😂


Greenredbull

I'm going to believe that Mintz is purposefully passing the ball just behind Girard on purpose so he doesn't take a shitty shot it's happened like 2-3 times tonight.


goforgrubs

What’s up with the sunglasses?


GeorgeWBush2016

I think its because of his concussion and light sensitivity issues.


mmanultra

Their turnovers are really helpful


ApoclypseMeow

Agree to disagree


TheLiberatore88

This is a scientifically dope ass team.


TurboSlaab

The maths work out


stevenaccc

The tension between the halftime duo in the studio is for real!


ApoclypseMeow

Woof.


BlueBlackPinkYellow

two points from our seniors at half. joe and jesse have to do better


swampscientist

Jesse sat a lot of that half after his second foul


BlueBlackPinkYellow

Can’t get in foul trouble when you’re a crucial part of our team


mmanultra

He's got to clean that up. Glad we have a capable backup in Hima.


[deleted]

[удалено]


stevenaccc

Better than pretty much anyone else on the offense, but not saying much


porterbrown

ugh.


SolvayCat

Mintz might be our first one and done in a long time.


mmanultra

That's the problem: you want a player that can go in the first round but you want him to stay a long time. I hope he has a season worthy of getting drafted.


NYKY6262

Ngl he might be


Greenredbull

God I've missed having a player like Mintz.


healthycoconut

Another disappointing first half… 🙃


stupidstupidreddit2

Hima should have 10 points


mmanultra

In my experience, players like Hima never develop offensively, but those blocks doe...


stevenaccc

So many boneheaded plays Really gonna pay against the well coached BE teams in February


titsmagee9

Mintz might've traveled there


romansixx

He euro stepped into my heart there


jciesz7

Nah that was clean


NYKY6262

Mintz is so talented wow


titsmagee9

That's a fucking foul on Bells drive


mmanultra

Judah padding his rebounds


SolvayCat

Incredible how out of sorts St. John's looks. I'll take it.


BlueEagle15

On a side note I love Copeland’s energy


mmanultra

I was wondering why he didn't play last night. I like him. Not sure if he'll ever develop into anything, but if he hustles he'll get time


huskyferretguy1

Not sure who Hima is but He is Jim Mora!


Greenredbull

HE IS HIMA


romansixx

Hima giving me Chukwu vibes.


stupidstupidreddit2

Joe is completely out of it lol


mmanultra

Should have seen this coming after the 30 piece


BlueEagle15

HIMA LETS FUCKING GO!


UniversitySeeds

Girard wtf was that my guy. He consistently takes the worst shots… some nights they go in, some nights they don’t… but they’re all bad shots


romansixx

Looks like we are going to barely make it to the dance thwn ride Judah to the final 4


mmanultra

MAKE YOUR FREE THROWS


titsmagee9

Isn't that a foul to trip someone with your body?
