If we won the Big East Tournament, it would be about as surprising as when Georgetown won it last year.

It happens, but how often?

Likely, we’ll beat DePaul in a close one, and Nova will beat the snot out of us the next day.

Then, we’ll get Wagner or Hofstra at Carnesecca in round one of the NIT.

This season has mirrored a Norm Roberts season. The only reason Iona and Hofstra didn’t paste us is because we avoided them.

Most disappointing game I can remember in a while. Why does Anderson always call the timeout before the second free throw?
Last shot was terrible.

Posh going out with his 3rd foul was a killer. Thought for sure that was a blocking foul. Champagnie will be a pro but unfortunately for us he never had that IT factor here when we really needed it.

Honestly just downgrade the program to the American East or the MAAC. This way no more complaints about facilities. Let’s stop pretending trying to play big time college basketball. We can celebrate a winning season every year. I get it we’re not going to beat out UNC, UK, Duke, and Kansas for kids. Why can we not beat out Seton Hall, Providence and Xavier for players? Can that be answered. Have not played in a Big East Semi-Final in 23 years. The game is on our so-called home court. A joke of a program and school of greed.

i am going to take the bait here from this clown Proud Alumn. Typical victim bs. We blew a 17 pt lead. Failed all year long to make for the difference when Posh is out of games. Our so-called best player choked worst than Abella Danger in a bukkake, to seal the game. Our coach does not know how to draw up offense and even worse with use of TO's. Then factoring in we are playing against the best coach in America. Go blame the officials or give me excuses that facilities are crap for preparation . The other excuse one is we're clean and their dirty. The game was there for the taken. Pitino with this group is playing tonight. Actually we would've had a bye and winning conference record.

They were up by 17…At this point a coach should now that Nova will get a friendly whistle.

The pattern of this team all years has been the inability to finish. 2 seconds and the best shot they can manage is a half court one.

This team should’ve never been in a position that the only way to make the tournament was to win the BET. This game should’ve never been in the position where the ref will decide the game…

CMA should know by now the whistle will not be in favor of his team…Yet everyone is shocked when the whistle didn’t go SJU’s way. We as a fan base our pissed that the refs lost this game and tournaments chance, when in reality this game should’ve only decided what seed we would be in for the tournament.
Title: Re: Big East Tournament Thread
Post by: nudginator59 on March 11, 2022, 10:06:07 AM
The positives is that SJU has a president who one, had a successful tenure at another BE school, two knows how to build facilities, and three understands the importance of basketball. The real culprit of SJU struggles is the 30 years of dismal leadership at the very top (basketball wise).

Cragg will be a lot more involved in next year’s schedule and in overall basketball operations. This is his guy so you have to make it work because unless there is a guarantee better Coach wanting to come to SJU he has no other choice.

It wasn't just a few whistles. They forced Posh out of the game with two ridiculous calls. Plus many other favored calls for Nova (the lane violation call was horrible). Wright is a good whiner that affects the refs.
Title: Re: Big East Tournament Thread
Post by: nudginator59 on March 11, 2022, 11:58:22 AM


I agree, that change should be faster. Talk about chaos at the University. The school has had as many Presidents as coaches over the last 10 years:

President’s:
Harrington, Father Levesque (*Interm President, who I heard was a good guy), Gempesaw, and now Father Shanley.

Coaches:
Lavin, Mullin, and Anderson.

Depending if you want to count Levesque the school had more Presidents…Just crazy.

When you look at the terms.

Harrington’s 20+ years (way to long)
Gempesaw’s 5+ years 
Shanley, under a year

How can there can be any vision when leadership keeps switching out.

What’s even more amazing is that SJU some how always makes the worst possible decision at the worst time.

Even a freaking broken clock is right twice a day, the University hasn’t been right in over 20years.

The real issue is not hiring Hurley. Just like the real issue was not getting a big name coach instead of hiring Roberts.

Mike Anderson is a decent but not an outstanding coach. The biggest issue is his mediocre record in recruiting. He is not bringing in any impact players next year and likely will have to re-recruit his own players.
If he does leave voluntarily it says more about him than St. John's fans who have suffered through decades of mediocrity.

If this was St John's, they wouldn't be playing on Friday, much less Saturday, so there's that. Also, McDermott - the best coach in the league - has pieces of Anderson in his stool, so there's that as well. Also also, the program's already an embarrassment.

What happened to your source? LOL

Cragg is overseeing the worst era In SJU athletics. Every program is down at the bottom of their league. Yes, he shakes hands and is a nice guy.

I'm hearing it's a done deal. Anderson to Tulsa.

If so, I hope we get Holloway. I'm not too excited about any of the other names being mentioned.

Your sources are impeccable OhioFan!  You have the same sources as LawmanFan whose knowledge of college basketball is unparalleled.
You will now have to ban another 5 suspicious redmen.cum posters who started the Anderson to Tulsa rumor.

Like I said, Anderson is staying. He released a statement afterward expressing his commitment.

I'm hearing Posh is also staying and committed to the program.

If by "do the same thing" you mean win 40 percent of his games, then no. For Anderson Missouri is the "been" part of "has been."

Xavier fired Travis Steele last night after 4 years of missing the tourney. Their AD released a strong statement.

Let's see if Mike Cragg has the onions to step away from Anderson after next season. Three seasons was never realistic.

I don't see a scenario in which this team improves drastically. Champ and Wheeler are almost certainly gone. Unless they come up with an unlikely recruiting coup then this will be a repeat of the last 3 seasons or worse. I do expect their first commit of the offseason to be a juco.

You can't see a scenario where young players improve (Wusu, Nwiye, Stanley), Posh plays great, Pinzon shows he is a scorer, Storr is a contributor right away, we get a good transfer or two? You are writing things off early.

I can see that scenario, with a telescope. Can you see one where the team's best player leaves for Serbia and half a dozen others transfer and Anderson's remains the worst coach in the league not named Patrick?

Agree our season sucked. We beat no one of consequence (0-10 vs top 5 of conference and lost all 3 games against Power 5 conferences in OOC schedule)...except for our 21 point beat down of giant killer St. Peter's who slew big bad Kentucky tonight. LOL

You must not watch many games. Wheeler, Soriano, Nwyie, Stanley, and to some extent Wusu all improved as the season went on. Mathis also played better and more focused in his role in the second half of the season. Posh played well all year.

Seton Hall lost by 27 to a 9 seed and Marquette lost by 32 to an 8 seed. Uconn lost by 7 to a 12 seed.

The Big East looks awful. Even Indiana lost by 29. Our schedule looks weak.

Here's what I don't get. You posted here for years with your dopey Redman4Ever or 4 life or whatever your stupid moniker was about how lucky SJU is to have Iron Mike Anderson and in glowing terms describing all that we fans had to look forward to now that the savior has arrived and then when that didn't pan out because Anderson sucks you disappeared like a complete pussy. Fair enough. But then instead of staying disappeared you reappear as this alleged new poster proud alum - imagine being proud of graduating from a shit school like SJU, the mind boggles - but your footprint is exactly the same: you post the same old tired Mike Anderson ball washing and the same old you're not funny dreary bullshit. Maybe on your next sabbatical you could write some new material. Because your old material sucks.

Good fight by Creighton there. Tournament is always a hard way to grade: whatever conference St Peter’s is in doesn’t suddenly look better because they beat UK. Single game events have a good degree of randomness which is what makes them so fun, the NBA playoffs are chalk every year.

Sure would be cooler with 3+ BE teams in the sweet 16 tho.

Close games, maybe, but when a team gets beat by 29 there is no randomness. St. Peter's has better wins they St. John's this year. How sad is that?

So to recap:

One poster, a Mike Anderson ball-washer who hates Chris Mullin and who's signature move is "yawn" disappears in early January and then later when the coast is clear in February reappears as a Mike Anderson wall-washing Mullin hater who relies on "waiting" instead of yawn.

Absolutely you've a fresh face.

Proud Alum, it really doesn't matter who you are because no one really gives a crap. You could be that fascist mod OhioFan aka Richard the Hartless, or you could be Redmennorth aka Aubie Herskonit, or you could be the long winded Least of the East, or Paultzman aka Bob Sandman from Naples Florida.  As long as you're not that ambulance chasing attorney Lawmanfan or Dopey Riley, you can say anything you like because unlike wokemen.com we can discern between hyperbole and hypocrisy.

I  agree.  Aubie is one of the few with  a brain among the mods. Unfortunately, Richard the Hartless rules the roost and none of the other mods override him.
