It feels so weird. St. John’s feels like watching an AAU team.
And Marquette abandons their entire inside game and just keeps kicking out passes for 3’s.
But St. John’s is an all-star team of upper classmen. Pretty dangerous come tourney time.

Do you think St Johns is getting their money's worth. Absolutely.
How much do they make with 19,000 people in the Garden every game, front page of the NY Post, ranked in Top 10 of the country. Whatever it took to put this team together was worth every penny.

I think they play the opposite of an AAU team. When I played AAU, it was all about offense-offense-offense. Everybody trying to "get theirs". On paper, this team was picked 5th in the league based on talent, and that was despite having the HC they have on the sidelines.
They are playing unbelievable team defense, kill the glass and are unselfish on offense almost to a fault at times.
They remind me of a lesser version, not as good Kelvin Sampson Houston team with how hard they play and how they attack.
Offensively the shooting and FTs are still an issue, which is the case for other defensive-minded teams.
They just play so god damn hard. Zuby could score 0 points and he's so valuable because of what he does on the offensive glass and switching on defense.
But Smith has also been compromised with the injury. I think he's a key to unlocking part of that. He started to play a bit more tonight like the player he is -- don't know if he can be that with the injury or if he'll continue to get better as he shakes off rust.
All that said, I think Uconn smacks them on Friday. That's a huge statement game, and Uconn matches up well with them in being able to protect the glass and shoot the 3. And I don't think SJU shoots it well enough right now to make up for Uconn's defensive lapses.
They have a couple guys who can shoot too, which is the odd thing. Smith's a big part of that IMO.
Bingo. Someone send this to the SHU Admin.
I’m unfortunately of the mindset that we will not get this right…
Damn man. That’s a helluvan explanation in defense of your guys. I got you.
You’ve got multiple responses on here with the continual “downplay” of your boys in hopes they smoke UConn Friday evening. All good.
St. John’s is an all-star team playing well together. That was the comment made regarding AAU. Not all AAU kids look to score. They know assists, blocks, rebounds also get them to the next level.
Good for them. Their high level investments have paid off.
Admittedly I only watched the last 10 minutes because I really don’t care.
I know you watch them closely and you’re the expert on these guys and Ricky boy
they are strong and tough and play good d. their shooting is the problem. even fts sucked. how did kr go from 80% to 50 this year. i was happy to see him have the moment. wasnt sure how i'd feel.
