Close to a must win for us at home. We beat them and Georgetown and you can basically write your ticket into the dance. Xavier is like us very talented but very inconsistent. The boys know what's on the line.
Sju 74
X 66
-
I think our guys see the home stretch and are preparing to give it their all on Monday. That said, we're still not at 100% and Xavier is a well coached team, so I expect another close one. And I have STJ winning 79-70.
Dom continues his dominant play and goes off vs Xavier. 24 points, 11 rebounds and 6 blocks.
Greene continues his strong play with 17 points, and Amar Alibegovic scores a career high 8 points and pulls down 5 boards off the bench. Also he picks ups 4 fouls 16 minutes.
-
He get 5 fouls . Make them count.

I fear a repeat of last year's deflating defeat at the garden that essentially killed our momentum and cost us a tourney bid.

I want to believe in this coach and this team. Last year cant repeat.
-
This game is huge...a loss to Xavier really puts everything on the line vs. Georgetown and they don't match up well with them. If they win here, they could probably afford a loss to Georgetown provided they beat Marquette. I'd say in these last four, 2-2 with losses to GTown and Villanova and one win in the BET puts them on the bubble, 2 wins in the BET puts them in.

Why we don't match up with G'town? Because they whipped us last week? I bet some of you thought the same last year after they spanked us in DC, only for us to return the favor at MSG (yeah, we beat them by 25 at home in the rematch).

Let our loved basketball team hear our voices these next two home games. We are still alive, and we are okay. Do not fear...
SJ 81, Xavier 79 - wrap up Reynolds, Trevon blows game winning shot, and makes Davis kind of blue...

We certainly do match up with Georgetown, but we don't match up with anyone if DLo scores 5 points.
He doesn't have to score 30 points, but he has to get his, and other guys have to play their best game. And we need more than that. We need guys like Amar, Joey and Felix to contribute. Xavier and Georgetown have deeper benches than we do. We need everyone to be ready to play their best basketball, because we know Xavier and Georgetown will be ready.

Hopefully, but it wouldn't fit my Bluiett play on names...ha ha ha (Reynolds Wrap, Bluiett misses shot, Myles Davis - yeah, I was obscure a bit)
-
Our disruptive defense (featuring Sir Dominic) will shift momentum in our direction during the last 10 minutes of the game and we triumph in the end.
77-73 SJU.
DLo ices the game with foul 5 shots in the last 5 minutes of play.
Obekpa flashes his enigmatic smile as the buzzer sounds.

For the first time, these seniors and coach win what is essentially as close as you can get to a must win late in the season re: NCAA berth.

Let's go get this one boys!

Roger Rubin @RogRubin 2m2 minutes ago
St. John's starting 5 v. Xavier: Harrison, Greene, Jordan, Pointer and Alibegovic. TV: FOX Sports 1. Radio: 970 AM. #sjubb
-
Excellent, better ball movement and no early fouls for CO, Amar moves the ball well, sets best screens on the team
-
Dreadful start.......
-
Wow...
-
this is a disaster
-
it's a repeat of last year.
-
HOLY SHIT @ that block just now from Dom
Intensity level went from 0 to 100 real quick
-
I can't believe how good this guy is playing lately..
-
Dom is an incredible player. He gets a jumpshot and watch out.
-
lethargic start and then....incredible....displaying unbelievable quickness on both ends. Dom great....CO looking good. QUick hands on D for the whole team
-
the defense since the 11-0 start has been insanely good
-
We are a scary team when we play defense like this.
-
We'd be a really scary team if D'Angelo can get healthy and play like he did in November/December, combined with the level that Dom is playing at right now.
-
Great move my Lavin pulling CO....3.5M and 7 up...save him re legs and fouls
-
Dom gives 500% on both ends of the floor
-
How many combined steals/deflections/blocks does Dom have this half? About 15?
-
the last 16 minutes of this half was my favorite 16 minutes since 2011
-
A stunning display of defense that half. Wow.
-
Dom is the Big East Player of the year.
-
The difference between this year and last to me is chemistry and the resolve of the seniors. Its obvious that they care . last year was more talented, this year just never say die and endless effort.
-
Just like last game against X, thought the game was over 4 minutes in (they were down 13-2 to them last time. And again, I couldn't have been wrong. Defense was insane.
-
Have to finish this one. Please don't make that first half effort go to waste
-
Might be best 15M in a decade, important game, timely, keep up the pressure
-
Start Obekpa, we get the ball, go on a nice 6-0 run to start half
-
Start Obekpa, we get the ball, go on a nice 6-0 run to start half
Or he just as easily picks up 2 quick fouls.
-
no rush with CO but he is in
-
Rysheed has made a couple of beautiful passes tonight
0 turnovers I think...
-
Dee Davis looks like a D3 player
-
Offense looks ugly right now..yikes
-
The refs called a beautiful first half imo. Wish they were all like that. Dom has been fantastic.
-
X 10-0 run
-
Some serious bs calls
-
Oh here we go...refs taking the game into their own hands....how the hell is that a foul?!?!??!
-
Obekpa still misses too many layups.
Horrible call on Pointer. How was that a foul? We picked a poor time to hit a funk. We could've hit the gas and blown out Xavier. Now, we're behind again, and it's a ballgame. Xavier was on the fence and was ready to get routed.
-
We gotta convert FTs. Pointer misses two in a row. Uggh. Four missed FTs in a row.
-
Pointer's last two shots were garbage. Gotta take better shots.
We gotta be careful right here. Down by 5 and Xavier with all the momentum (and, they have possession).
-
I was so high, now I'm so low. Sounds about right.
-
Start Obekpa, we get the ball, go on a nice 6-0 run to start half
Or he just as easily picks up 2 quick fouls.
That he did
-
I hate when they show Lavin in the huddle
-
I was so high, now I'm so low. Sounds about right.
We had our chance to put our foot on their throat, but slipped up.
-
We keep getting fouled, but no points.
-
We can't hit FTs! Damn!
That's 3 fouls on Reynolds. Get one more on him.
-
I say this every game. Sheed's feet are horrifically wrong when he shoots FTs. How has nobody fixed that yet?
-
Getting killed on boards
-
I think Obekpa fouled out twice
-
Getting killed on boards
Yep. Missed an opportunity right there by not getting the loose ball.
-
Lets see what this teams got....horrible half so far..
-
Obekpa being out is going to make it tough to keep the score close.
-
Why is pointer guarding Stainbrook?
-
Gotta finish Ali. There is still a ton of time, but I don't like how this is shaping up.
-
FREE THROWS!!!
-
Another FT miss. Sheesh.
-
4-13 from the line?
-
HARRISON...ONIONS...
-
Yes! Harrison!
By the way, I like the timeout by Lavin. Get the team in order.
-
Making 3s makes up for FTs.
-
Crap! That's 4 on Harrison.
-
4 on Harrison
-
Fouls are piling up on us. Seems we're fouling basically every trip now.
Greene is gonna have to come up big during these latter minutes.
-
Greene or Jordan need to do something, man...
-
Bizarre timeout
-
On cue...PG4
-
Lavin's timeouts again make no sense. Harrison with 4 fouls and theres a stoppage in play when X has the ball, why doesnt he take him out?
-
C'mon, Obekpa! Grab the damn ball! That was a huge possession! Sheesh!
-
I can live with horrible fts or getting killed on boards...but not both
-
wire job....need Harrison to get the ball a lot and get to line
-
Tough shot by Jordan.
C'mon! Get a stop here, Johnnies.
-
what the hell is the reason for this timeout? can anybody tell me? there was a timeout before Stainbrook's FTs, what is he going over now that he didnt go over in that timeout? this guy is unbelievable
-
what the hell is the reason for this timeout? can anybody tell me? there was a timeout before Stainbrook's FTs, what is he going over now that he didnt go over in that timeout? this guy is unbelievable
I think Mack called that 1
-

More like you wanna complain. We got a stop and a basket there. Be objective or show you clearly have an agenda.
-
Stay on your feet, fellas.
-
If harrison doesnt getthe ball last 25sec....lavin should be fired
-
If harrison doesnt getthe ball last 25sec....lavin should be fired
LOL
I'm sure he's gonna try to get him the ball. I'm sure Xavier knows it, as well.
-
#$%^
-
Good lor
-
Whew! That's ballgame.
-
Wow...
-
Harrison got away with a takedown
-
Xmas came early
-
Harrison has to know someone is coming up from the rear.
It wasn't pretty, but it's a win. Another boost to our RPI and a step closer to the NCAA Tournament.
-
holy crap my heart
-
Breathe
-
Huge win, really puts us ahead of Xavier, a win v. Georgetown would really help the resume, let's get 2 out of 3 to cement their tourny status
-
Where can I get that "own the city" shirt that Dom is wearing?!?
-
Lavin must have taken a few shots at halftime, his interview is hilarious. Here are some quotes: Dear in headlights, first kiss with too much teeth, Boulder on the shoulder, this team is unique because they haven't made the tournament.
-
Strange game but I'll take the win
-

#epic
-
haha. i was screaming at my tv like suzyn waldman. sheesh. crazy win.
-
Must win, crazy game, Steve Lavin just told everyone he is a terrible kisser
-
Team refused to lose. Lavin outcoached offensively in the 2nd half, Xavier played well. Great finish, lucky to escape with this one. Will make the tournament and no one will want to play us. Dangerous 9to11 seed depending on finish.
-

yeah but he winded up with a hot wife. anyways if we win against georgetown on sat we should be in good shape for the ncaa tournament.
-
Honestly disappointing crowd for biggest game of season thus far but the guys pulled it out. This felt like a survive and advance type of win! Great D.

Adam Zagoria @AdamZagoria 3m3 minutes ago Manhattan, NY
Dom Pointer, stat stuffer: 19 points, 9 rebounds, 6 blocks, 4 steals, 3 assists in 40 minutes. Kid should be automatic 1st-Team All-Big East
-
Very strange game. Dom played one of the best halves of basketball ive ever seen a st johns player play. He was absolutely incredible. Im so happy we finished that one out. Would have hate to have seen dlo go down like that.
-
I know we won but doesn't feel like. Not sure I will be able to sleep now.
Now beat GT!!
-
If St. John's would have lost that one it would have been so deflating. So glad they inched it out
-
Lavin's timeouts again make no sense. Harrison with 4 fouls and theres a stoppage in play when X has the ball, why doesnt he take him out?
He has a tired team and maybe just maybe he knows his team better than you and me
-
2 games in 3 days is tough for them at this time of year. I thought it showed on all the short shots and FTs. Get a good rest for sat vs Gtown.
-
Lavin must have taken a few shots at halftime, his interview is hilarious. Here are some quotes: Dear in headlights, first kiss with too much teeth, Boulder on the shoulder, this team is unique because they haven't made the tournament. :D
And his comments about UCLA championships with his players! haahaha Great win, lets keep it going!

While the timeouts are weird, they seem to have a purpose. Lavin is continually encouraging the team to quickly get back on defense after they make a big basket. Maybe he thinks he has an advantage by setting up the defense vs. just scrambling around?
Don't always like it, but it makes sense (at times).

Our shooting was awful all game long.
But our defense in, and in the first half especially, was phenomenal.
This was a game most st johns teams of recent vintage would have lost.
And I can't say enough good things about dom. He played fantastic.and jordan played within himself and didn't force things. I thought that was a big sign of growth.

You know under Armour makes the shirts, not the kids. I'm not saying they're not cocky, but these kids have taken their lumps.
Be supportive after a good win.
-
I was not surprised. Bad weather, Monday night. Most programs deal with this issue when they have a big arena to fill (Gtown last week seemed half empty). Hell Roy Williams complained at a press conference this weekend because their arena was a morgue.
We will have a good crowd on Saturday.
-
Yea seriously. Mock these kids. Real fan. Especially when your other team gets 500 and its a good crowd. Utter f-in joke.

-

Who is mocking them. I'm referring to the empty seats
-
We've been so inconsistent it's hard to draw the average fan. If we would've kept up the momentum we had in Nov and December ...we would have better crowds.
But we go from ranked 15th to losing 3 straight. Then losses to Creighton and DePaul. So we never built the cred we needed to draw the average nyc bball fan.
That said, I hope that Saturday is a big crowd. The school should tap into the marketing budget to run some extra ads on WFAN and tv promoting tickets for the game this week.
-
From the under 4:00 timeout to halftime may be the best defense I've ever seen a St. John's team play. Also, after every game I walk out totally amazed at what Sir'Dom has done. One of the best defensive players I've ever had the pleasure of watching.

Fair enough.
And let's be honest, even with the dorms, sju is still a commuter school. Spring break just means kids are home with mom n dad in queens or long island.

I love the swagger the shirt states. It's a definite positive attitude and right direction to when SJU owned the city. I also think it plays well with the chips on the players shoulders.
The program needs to win consistently for large crowds to show up routinyly again. There are positive signs that SJU fan are slowly awakening, Carnesseca areana had great crowds. The crowd was t big but it was lively.
Hopefully the team can finish strong, do well in the BET, and steal a win or two in the tournament. This will hopefully lead to a solid recruiting class that can be rebuild quickly. I will leave the coaching situation out if this for now.

this is what I meant in my previous posts. PR department needs to step up. This is an exciting time, run with it
-
I'll be there with about 5-6 guys. Like I said, I would be shocked if we didn't have a good crowd. Win the game and we are likely in the tournament IMO.

Win and we can relax drinking a beer, waiting to see where we land, not if we land

Also, goes without saying that it would be a wonderful, wonderful thing if we could get Harrison and CO healthy over the next 4 plus days.
-

excellent observation

I think they do a really great job. Just a lot of things to do in NYC. If St. John's was a perennial top 10 team people would come consistently.

Congratulations to Sir Dominic Pointer for joining the prestigious St. John's University 1000 point scorers club! Sir with much much Love passed Justin "JB1" Burrell to debut at 49th on the all-time list.
Mr. Burrell was very tight with legendary former BEB and JJ poster KOB.

Loving to say this right now- Rysheed Jordan seems to be molding into a true point guard in front of our very eyes. Past 2 games he has 1 turnover and 12 assists. Something I thought I'd never say, but he seems to be playing the role he's expected to play these past few games which is an awesome sign. :)

Let's not forget that Saturday vs G'town is also senior day, another reason to go to the Garden.

He's been driving and looking to dish, rather than driving and looking to put it up no matter what. Playing more with the flow than forcing it.

3'lo and Oblockpa looked less injured to me. Could bode well for the future.
We all must have been rubbing our rabbit's foots hard yesterday. Many zebra's decisions and non-decisions going our way. And to survive a 6 for 15 ft. effort in a 1 point victory?
Team of destiny?

last night I thought X took the crowd of the game in the second half until the Dominator made a free throw about 8 minutes in. Believe it was our first point and instead of a derisive cher it was like a sigh of relief that cracked Dom up--it seemed to relax the team and the fans alike and got us back into the game
