St. John's vs. Miami Pre-Game Discussion

Wow, just saw the line on the game... miami is favored by 10.5

Im not disputing that they shouldnt be favored, but not by 10.5.

well if your a betting man it wouldnt be a bad bet to bet on st johns to beat the spread

a lot of their fans seem to think they will struggle offensively if their PG McClinton can't play(game time decision)...a win on the road would be a big confidence booster for this team early in the season...

Let's hope we come out with intensity from the git go....

we've gotta chance. i think we'll need to limit our mistakes and have another guy aside from burrell, 'gene and wright to step up. (step up= 16 pts, and everything else is solid).  maybe DJ, or coker?

also boothe will need to provide us good minutes off the bench

im guessing that freshman edwin rios would start.  rios is a decent system player (from when i saw him in HS. havent seen him play for miami yet) but isn't a bigtime playmaker.  he seems like a smart player though that won't turn the ball over a lot.

did some more research....looks like they got the injury bug too...they have quite a few 4 star rated prospects...should be a tough one...

Jack McClinton    -6'1" averaging 14 ppg...injured thumb game time decision...appears to be their best scorer but is averaging 4 TOs a game...
Anthony King -senior 6'9" 11 ppg 9.7 rebs...should be a tough matchup for JB    
James Dews - soph 6'3" 11 ppg...three point threat #28SG in the class of 2006   
Brian Asbury -junior 6'7" 11ppg 5 rebs  long wing player should be tough matchup for DJ....#17 SG in class of 2005
Dwayne Collins soph 6'8"... 8 ppg 5 reb....#22 rated PF in class of 2006    
Eddie Rios - frosh 6'1"...6ppg 4 assts...#16 rated PG in class of 2007
Adrian Thomas - soph 6'7"  injured
