Big East tournament matchup. Beating a team 3x is not easy… but I like our odds vs St John’s over anyone else in conference
SHU vs. SJU part 3
- Thread starter Gohall129
- Start date
Statistically the team who won the first two games wins the 3rd 82% of the time. (or something close to that).
Danny won’t take his foot off the gas. He’s got his eyes on a repeat. No let ups
Wonder if Pitino had ever lost 3 times to a team in conf in which there is natural home and away schedule
Teams don’t play 3 times too often, so who knows. But he’s been coaching forever so maybe. Obviously most of his records at places are winning ones but historically his first year is always the weakest if not by far the weakest because he has always stepped into rebuilds I believe, just like this year.
Personally I think the 3 times thing is overrated and doesn’t matter at all. Whether it’s for college hoops or football where we’ve seen this occur a bunch.

This team matches up well with SJU. I like the matchup and a Thursday game with juice at the Garden.
That day session ticket gonna be top secondary market competition...should be great enviroment
Wonder if I hate the Johnnies as much as Ricky does?? Could not have picked a better match up for a lot of reasons. ( as love playing at 2:30pm)
We actually accomplished more than what they were projected preseason. They finished exactly how they were projected, I believe, as 5th in the league. We essentially replaced Nova who was projected 4th.
Agreed. Also 2:30 is a good spot because inevitably there will be work conflicts that prevent folks from attending compared to a post-work start time. I always go to the BE tourney games when I can but already know I have a work obligation that will preclude me from going because of the start time.
It’s interesting that after all the games, speculation, dissection, the preseason poll got 4 out of the top 5 right (Only Nova at 4 missed, falling to a 6). We made the biggest jump upwards. Xavier the biggest downwards from 6 to 9.
And the gods work in mysterious ways, because they had to matchup Cooley against with Providence for a third time.

He lost to Villanova three times in 1986. Regular season sweep and a loss in BET.
He lost Syracuse three times in 1987. Twice in Big East regular season and once in NCAA.
That's all I've cared enough to look up.
