You said Syracuse is still Syracuse. They are an NIT team at best thisyear.

@ Syracuse is a good win.    Not a great win, not a super win that the selection committee will circle and highlight.    But a good win.

To say otherwise is just being argumentative.

Wake Forrest just took them to OT in the house that Melo  built. Wake sucks.

13-4 and 13-3 St.Mary's probably our best wins. It's great more for what it means to us. SU has overachieved this year. Let's hope they dance, because our resume has taken a hit w Minnesota.

SU isn't typical SU, but 13-4 is 13-4. They are finding a way. No matter what, it's tough to win up there. In any year.

Syracuse plays nobody and they are going to get spanked the 2nd half of the season. Right now Providence is the best win. Yes that Providence

I agree.  the Syracuse win means more to us at St Johns than it does to a selection committee or voters.   We needed to get the monkey off our back.

They also just lost Chris McCullough for the year, which is a major hit.

Better hope Butler or Georgetown is ranked next time we play them. Otherwise it's just Duke, Seton Hall and Villanova who are top 25 wins. We were just ranked and Lunardi has us last team in. How d we improve that by beating the likes of Creighton and DePaul?

Baldi if we get into the low 20s, no matter how we do it, we are going to get in.  You are right though in that it would be nice to have a couple of W's over teams that are in the top 25 when we play them.

Halfway through the year and Providence is the best win. If this team doesn't man up and win some games we are not supposed to, we will be sweating it out selection Sunday. Aren't you sick and turned of watching everyone else play in the tourny? This team has plenty of experience, no more excuses. Beat someone worth a damn

Baldi I am curious about your logic regarding the Providence win.  If you are saying it is not a good win because they are still Providence and haven't been good, why does that same logic not apply to the Syracuse win?  Syracuse has been very good, therefore it should be a very good win with your logic.  But you state that it is not a good win.  Either the Syracuse win is a very good win for their history or the Providence win is for being a top 25 road win (or both).  Sounds like you are just saying whatever possible to disparage the SJU basketball team's record.  Sucks when the reality of your hypocrisy slaps you in the face, doesn't it?

So Syracuse is a good win because they were good in the past?
If the rationale is that the Syracuse win is good because they were good in the past, wouldn't it  be the same in the Providence win. They have sucked in the past

haha, I usually don't respond to trolls, but this was actually pretty good.  I can't wait for the 10 posts of people who refute this.
