Looks like they opened up all seating for the game at MSG.
Duke down @ NC State, 66-52 under 7mins left.

coach K going to get his 1000th win vs the Johnnies at MSG?

Getting spanked by Miami

Getting spanked by Miami
Refs actually calling fouls on Duke for once.
-
Dukes got Louisville, Pitt then STJohns. Coach k can have 999 coming into the garden
-
If Duke wins both yeah that will potentially be win 1000. One more loss and it's not though.
Would make it pretty cool - either you see a St. John's big upset or you were there for coach k 1000.
-
Didn't he win some other milestone game at MSG a few years back.

K better get a handle on shoddy defense recently. Last two games defense has been a disaster.

Yeah against Michigan State. He broke the all time wins record in that game - #903.

Was working late last night so missed yesterday's debacle and didnt bother to watch my DVR, but the NC State game the D was like swiss cheese, esp. after NCS maintained the 6-10 point lead for a few mins in the 2nd half.
Teams have obviously figured something out about the Duke D. Luckily, D has always been Coach K's forte, and unlike some past years, I think all the players (at least starters) this year are talented, dedicated and intelligent enough to commit to it.

That would be a nice little marketing "snafu". What are the odds our crack marketing team comes up with this idea.

Agree. What's wrong with tradition? Alternate jerseys should be an occasional thing.

Don't care if they wear pink. BEAT DUKE!

Wear red and white, show some pride for chrissakes

Just win the next two BE games and we will be playing with house $ against Duke.

You're right. A loss to Duke to won't hurt us at all because we are supposed to lose that game. We just have to take care of business in the conference to hear our names called on selection sunday

Louisville can't shoot at all this year. Our chances are still very slim though.

Duke is least of our worries... Win the BE games on schedule coming up... Duke means nothing...unless we win, then it means a lot... House money( like Paultz said)
-
Right now if looking on stubhub for 2 or more tix to the Duke game in the 100 level, there is nothing available for less than 189 per ticket. Can anyone remember the secondary market low for the 100s being that high before for a St. John's game at msg (even though the reason it's 190 per and not 100 per is definitely due to the potential of it being coach k 1000)?
Pretty crazy.

Pretty crazy.
I could most likely sell my tickets which are right near the Duke bench for more than my entire season package cost me.
-
I have five weddings in the next two years and am a groomsman in three of them and selling my Duke ticket has been a hard decision for me. But ultimately I can't let a Duke fan sit in my seat.

Looks like Coach K will be in line for 1000 against the wizard of Lavinwood. Crushing Pitt at half

I honestly feel bad for you and your Iona fans. With stubhub prices at $260 a pop minimum for the 100 section, is there an Iona fan in their right mind who does not sell his or her seats? Stands will be a morgue after the Duke game...

Ya i wouldnt miss it, even with my injury. Either we will see history or a huge upset. I cant understand selling the tickets,unless you are in dire need of cash

what row in 107?

I saw 100 seats going for 500 on stub hub. Garden will be packed and rowdy.
-
Any St Johns students out there? Are students planning on a big showing or is everyone pocketing a few hundred bucks each?
Feel like the crowd will be even more pro-Duke than ever with the crazy high secondary market...
-
We have a long and storied rivalry with Duke. It is epic that this historic matchup will be between two behemoths.

Flying in from Seattle for this one. Pumped to see the boys this year.

FS1 is pumping this game in everyone of their day parts this week. This is the marquee game of the season, tremendous opportunity.

Rivalry in our minds only, Duke has been too dominant. Been a long time since we could be considered a behemoth. Hoping for a good game, our guys should be sky high for this match-up.

i hate to admit it, but i put up my two seats. If they sell for what i'm asking, i'll make back almost 3x the cost of my season tix.
and if they do sell, i'm buying the cheapest tix i can find to still attend the game.

Sorry. I'm typing on my phone. Just under 2200. Yes for 2 tix.

Just said on fs1, Harrison missed practice Friday, walking with noticeable limp, and has to change his pregame routine,but says he'll play. Without Harrison playing one of the better games of his career, I don't see how they can win. Hopefully this rest will put in him better shape than the last 2 games, I would hate if this injury lingered for the rest of the year.
-
If Harrison is injured, sit him. Going to need him healthy the rest of the way.

Would be kind of awful for most of us if Harrison doesn't play . Think some in here are actuatally enjoying the fact that he may be hurt . Going to the game confident . Hoping our guys rise to the occasion . Hopefully they have been watching all the pre game that has barely mentions them. It posse me off and I am not playing.

I'm sure it was aimed at me. I'd rather a healthy Harrison down the stretch, rather than limping around a 30 point loss, prolonging the injury

Yes it was aimed at you . I think you are looking forward to annoying St. John's fans on a message board after HUGE EMBRÀSSING loss that will be rerun all week . I don't know why someone would enjoy that. I hope it doesn't happen, but it is likely.

I think it makes a lot of sense to force D'Angelo to rest if he's at 75% or less.
I really expect to lose tomorrow, but regardless of the opponent, it's obvious that we need a healthy D'Angelo for the rest of the way. Whether it was providence or duke tomorrow, there's a good case for sitting D'Angelo if he needs the rest.

I think Baldi makes a lot of sense, odds are slim we win as it is. Need him for the BE schedule.

Im of the opinion that you don't take away the opportunity of one of your best players in the last 20 years to play duke on his home court, especially in his senior year in such a highlighted game. This is Dlo's chance to put a stamp on the national audience. I bet you he comes out swinging, and I dont understand how some feel it is already a forgone conclusion that well get beat handily. Duke got beat easily by two teams with similar resumes to us. We played with gonzaga, we played with nova for 30 minutes, we beat cuse at cuse. This team can win tomorrow.
-
You'd have to tie DLo down to keep him off the court tomorrow.
I've got visions of Willis Reed dancing in my head.
-
Vegas has Duke -6. If Harrison really is considerably less than 100% for tomorrow, that's free money
-
Will this game be available online? not gonna be able to watch from home I will be on the go

Definitely should be. Try atdhe.eu
Just make sure you X out of those pop ups

Thanks guys
-
Life is a stage and this is one Broadway play that Dlo does not want to miss. He never stops hustling, his desire is huge. He WILL be in there because he will convince Lavin that he can be effective and that the pain and injury is minor. He is a WARRIOR and warriors show up for battle. He strikes me as the type of guy who, when floored by a head shot and is heading for the line, tells his opponent with a smile, thanks, I don't run with my head

A week before the Superbowl, Coach K going for a 1000 win at MSG, the city is buzzing, big chance for his team to make a statement, no way he misses this game.
-
This game is somewhat of a golden ticket. A win can make up for multiple less BE wins. Duke was destroyed by miami at home. They are beatable and it would be crazy for him to sit unless he simply cannot do anything physically.
-
On my way boys. Baldi looking to go 2-0 today. fck Duke and fck Niagara
-
I know how today will likely end, but I'm pumped. Coach K can get win 1000 against ND on wed. Go St. John's!!!!!
-
You'd have to tie DLo down to keep him off the court tomorrow.
I've got visions of Willis Reed dancing in my head.
I've got visions of Isaiah Thomas. Thomas was not only inspirational, but put up 25 on one leg in that 3rd quarter. One of the best performances by an injured player I've ever seen.
That being said, if DLo does play and experiences enough pain to render him ineefective, or if Duke starts out gangbusters, he should be immediately sat down. I can see not playing him at all if further worsened injury is highly possible.

I love that they are letting them play. A closely called game would kill us.

Great work getting back in. Two great opportunity a on the break went terrible wrong. Need to take advantage of every opportunity.
-
In NC for the winter watching the game, going to pub down the street at 1/2 time, owner is a Duke fan. WIsh me luck. SJU playing great, Dom incredible. If K adjust at 1/2 could be in our favor as Dlo and Greene could be open more. CO doing great
-
Left ten points on the board that half. Gotta finish!
-
win the next 20 minutes
-
Dom was both fantastic and awful in the 20 minutes. Great plays surrounded by terrible plays. We need him tho and that's what you'll get.
-
I'm worried coach K's gameplan for the rest of the game will be to give us a heavy dose of Okafor.
-
Sheed continues to play like he did in the first half, I think we win. First 4 minutes of 2nd half are huge!!
-
I hope Dom/Sheed don't get tired in the second half. They expended alot of energy in that half.
Crowd needs to pick them up. Run on adrenaline, baby.

Can't knock the effort. I'm proud of this team.

really going to go with the refs. the team doesn't have the talent or coaching to beat duke, or the majority of the teams in the BE as it seems.
-
Duke is a great team and it was a great effort by the players.
The coach is awful. This game wouldn't mean as much if they weren't 2-4 in the BE with a team of upperclassmen. Lavin can't be defended at this point.
-
Can't knock the effort. I'm proud of this team.
Still with the moral victories when these guys are seniors? whatever floats your boat I guess

It's #5 Duke. Coach K going for #1000. Hell of an effort. Came up short. Not happy about it, just said I'm proud of the effort.
-
Duke is a great team and it was a great effort by the players.
The coach is awful. This game wouldn't mean as much if they weren't 2-4 in the BE with a team of upperclassmen. Lavin can't be defended at this point.
The players left 10 pts off the board on fast breaks alone. That's on the players.
-
this game yet another indictment of lavin
he recruits players with no basketball IQ and teaches them nothing...jordan fouling on a 3
Or the talent differential is simply too great.
...whose fault is that.
You're saying Steve Lavin should out-recruit Coach K? Go lie down.
obviously not but the fact that the bar has been set so low by people like you is a farce
Lavin has actually raised the recruiting bar at St. John's, not lowered it.
-
Good effort by the boys. But the usual. Harrison, healthy or not, never shows up in these big games.
-
Marshall fuccin plumlee changed the game.
-
Frustrating loss...but the season is not over. We still have enough good wins on the schedule to make the dance...but now the pressure is on. Lets see how these seniors respond...
-
Its been a brutally called game. No doubt about it but there were points that St Johns took it to Duke. We actually got the benefit of the doubt with the whistles all game long and I usually go to the "Refs screwed us!" well often in a tough loss. De La Rosa once again dodged a clear flagrant foul(Did one vs Zaga), he plays like a goon out there, it's gotta stop.
Duke's a 1 and done team, maybe they get to the field of 32 if they are lucky. Would take a monumental performance by Okafor single handedly or if they are matched up against a smaller team that can't bang inside. St Johns just showed everyone how you beat them, cut the lanes to Okafor off and let the guards try and beat you outside. Cook is a good player but that's about it. Once Okafor gets to touch/dominate the ball, that's when he bails them out. Can't wait to see which mid major draws them this year.
The Coach K tribute game that was played today has finally ended, I think I have seen enough Coach K montages/highlights every 3 minutes to call it a day. Curse the two ACC teams that beat them that put me through this!
St Johns is a fringe NCAA tourney team, maybe final 4 in if they are lucky. They are severely overmatched in the coaching department, this might be Lavin's last year. This is a senior laden team, no excuses. Unacceptable.
Gave the game right to Duke with sloppy uptempo passing, uncontrolled dribbling and missed open shots. freaking pathetic. So many unforced errors, such undisciplined nonsense and garbage. Can't wait for Lavin to go, this was a game they had. Same with DePaul. Same with Butler. Harrison has been awful this past 1-2 weeks, we lack depth as well. We've got next to nothing coming in after this year, its going to be brutal.
I actually expected much more from this team, what a shame. They might need to run the table to get in come BE Tourney time, and no shot in hell do they have the composure or guts to do that.

Offensive rebounds off missed ft's have killed us this year. No excuse for that.
-
Marshall fuccin plumlee changed the game.
All big white men have the game of their lives vs St Johns. This is well known. Make em look like Chris Mullin vs us.
-
St. John's fans who are knocking the coach and this team today are dicks!
-
It's all fatigue. The same exact thing happened against Nova. You're in the game and then BOOM. You just cant beat a good team when you only go 6 deep.
-
Rysheed disappeared in the 2nd half. He only had 2 points. With D Lo hurting, we need him to carry the team. He did in the first half, but was a no show offensively in the 2nd.
-
Marshall fuccin plumlee changed the game.
Having a second big kills us. Gonzaga did that in the second half too.
Obviously the guys played hard, and I thought coach had one of his better games. The team was prepared and started off well.
Depth continues to hurt us, but no surprise there. I do think we got tired down the stretch.
Duke is far from a 1 and done tournament team. They have the best center in the country and three guards who can beat you in Jones, Cook, Sulamon. And they've already beaten Wisconsin and Louisville. This duke team is a top 5 team. Better than gonzga, or at least when we played them. And better than villanova.
The refs didn't bother me today.
This was a painful loss. We'll look back and see this as a good loss, but today it feels like we choked. Because, well, we did. We gave it away.
That's not to take anything away from their effort, but we had this game. We don't know how to win consistently yet, and were a power forward away from having a complete rotation.

The refs weren't bad overall but definitely changed the momentum of the game with the inadvertent whistle. The foul of a shooter with their foot sticking out is bs. I don't know why that is never addressed by refs.

Agree that refs were fine. Loved JoeyDs foul, simply a good hard foul going for the ball, not nearly a goon play. a Goon play is when you don't even go for the ball, undercut someone or just level a guy. THe stare was a little overdone but, hey, send a message..

Very judicious
-
For some reason my comment did not post. JoeyDs fould was by no means goonish, going for the ball, good hard foul The stare a bit much but sending the message. Why didn't Lavin counter plumlee with a bit of Amar? Been playing well, rebounds OK and is big. Team played well, with Dlo hurting it was more than any of us expected. NOt impressed with Ks coaching in this one, should have gone zone a lot but he probably doesn't practice it. When up 10 with 10 to go I had a bad feeling, depth, fatigue and the curse of Redmen name change all had me thinking negative.
t
-
I would not have minded seeing Amar in there with CO, with Dom moving down to the 3 for a few minutes. I have to think that they felt Dlo's calf would stiffen up if he sat. Otherwise, why play him the entire game.
-
We lost because we have no bench
-

Yep, same reason we lost to DePaul and Butler.
-
Refs also gave us three points at the end of the first half... It evened out with the phantom whistle.
-
O points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 2 fouls off the bench.
-
Some former players at the game on both sides. Mullin boys,Felipe. A ton of former Duke players. Mason Plumlee and Lance Thomas were on line in front of me at concession.
-
Lavin's post game comments about this game showing that this team is heading in the right direction infuriate anybody else?

Not too many did. Was more there than I expected though. All should have stayed and watch the best 2 players in NY light up the Garden
-
I stayed and there was no one there. Anyone doubting the big east s staying power is way off. I am very happy with the new 10 team league and think it will be a nice niche going forward. Not the the acc, big ten etc but a nice basketball focused league with good $$ to sustain coaching staffs to recruit. Watching that second game with no one there made me realize just how lucky sju is to have this conference.
-
Iona game should have been played first. Piss poor planning
-

Or it should have been played in New Rochelle. No one stayed for the St. Francis doubleheader last Wednesday either. Unless it is four quality teams, it doesn't work.
-
I had to watch from a hall/restaurant because of a family obligation, but a ton of friends who were at the game said it was the most electric college basketball atmosphere they've been to in a while. Said it had the buzz of a final 4 game. This is precisely why the metropolitan area college basketball scene and the Big East needs St. John's to get back to being a regular tourney team. Other locals like the Hall and Rutgers will never generate anywhere near the buzz that we saw today.
Shame we couldn't pull it out. Need to get Harrison healthy. He is obviously a different player the last 3 games since he's been hurt. Prior to that he was playing terrific. If we play with the same kind of tenacity and energy we showed the majority of this game, we will win plenty of the remaining BE games.
-
Would like to have seen Branch get a few more minutes especially when Duke made their big run. We seemed to be in "panic mode" and Branch may have calmed things down, made a good pass and stopped the run. He did that in the first half.
-
Congrats to Phil Greene IV on passing William "Beaver" Smith, who had a real way with the ladies, to move into 44th on the all-time St. John's scoring list.

Why was Dom bringing the ball up when Branch was in the game?

George Johnson was in the house sitting section 116...i find it odd that one of our best ever players gets very little props from SJ...his name belongs up on the wall at Carnesecca...

A lot of familiar faces there. Only faces they put on the scoreboard was Mullin, Looie and Felipe
-
Only gripe, Lav has to play Amar and Branch more. The minutes are killing these guys.
Electric day, proud to be a Johnnie.

Okafor played 37; Jones played 39 and Cook played 38 minutes.
How come the minutes didn't kill them?

Was it Lavin who called timeout right after we went up 10?
-
Marshall fuccin plumlee changed the game.
And why is that? Maybe because we have just one quality big man, going up against Okafor and Plumlee.
Don't give me oh but 6'9 forward Sampson went to the nba. That's why you never take a year off of recruiting, you need to replace the guy that leave.
That's exactly why Plumlee took over.
And that is on STEVE LAVIN. No NCAA for them.

I disagree in the sense that inadvertent whistle completely destroyed our momentum. People were on their feet ready to explode on that breakaway and that completely killed us. I think we ended up scoring the next basket a minute or 2 later but the place got quiet and I was literally talking to one of my friends and saying this is the turning point and somehow the refs found a way to bust us again
Yeah it's just 2 points and we shot ourselves in the foot later on but the momentum lost was huge
-
While I didn't think SJU would win, the team gave a great effort for 32 minutes...
If you are up 10 with 8:34 left, you should win the game. We went through a very typical stretch of not scoring a field goal for almost 6 minutes. It happens with this team all the time and that is not on the coach.
They need to bounce back and beat Creighton on the road.
There were a lot of positives from this game.

Creighton is huge. Found myself at MSG wondering when we would have our usual shooting drought with the decent lead. On cue it arrived.

Guy I work with is a Duke fan, he went there. Bet me $100 Duke would win an NCAA championship before ST John's makes another NCAA tournament. I would not take the bet until he gave me 2-1 odds.

No scientific proof, but I'll betcha that if you took everyone in blue yesterday, it would be 20% with some real affiliation to Dook (went there, paid tuition there, or from there) and 80% are NY/NJ sad hangers -on or wannabes.

I am in section 118. Fifty percent of my section was filled with Duke supporters who bought on line from our season ticket holders, paying between 400 and 500 a ticket. Mostly older Duke grads. But overall I was pleased with the SJU turn out and thought we had more people there than Duke did.

Agreed, maybe 60/40 in favor of duke, but still better than I thought. Was impressed with the students too, probably their best turnout in years.

Not sure about all of that but I was looking forward to the Triangle throwing down the inevitably huge tomahawk jam. When your insanely athletic shortest player on the team throws down a big one, it sure doesn't hurt momentum.

This was great college game @ the Garden. Johnnies played tough but Duke players stepped up their game late 2nd half. Their inside out game started to work,refs started calling touch fouls and the Duke fans took over the crowd. Although this is a good redmen team, it's pieces are greater than the whole.

The whole was playing very good, sharing the ball, transitioning well, making some aggressive moves to the hole and finishing. Once Plumlee got in with Okafor, most saw the dynamic change. The guys could not adjust.
