For those not at the Garden today, We also beat Princeton in a Tic-Tac-Toe time out promotion.  PU students might be smart but have NO practical sense like us city kids.

First game of the year I didn’t see. Ponds goes 10-14 from 2 bringing him up to 64% on the season. That is unbelievable. 9-0

I like where your head is at!

Seemed like a pretty complete game minus the three point efficiency of our opponents again. I think they're over compensating helping closer to the paint because of Clark being the center. But I only see pockets of the game so I do not know how that checks out just an idea. I think it could be better when Keita comes back.

I recorded the game and just watched it, very smooth offensive performance. I feel like on defense we switch when we sometimes don't have to leading to open looks from 3. Hopefully they can work out whatever is ailing them in that department before conference play begins. Otherwise the D looks ok.

St. John's has a lot of students that excel at smaller sports and activities. We have national championships in bowling, chess, men's and women's fencing, debate...and some savants like The Schwab and a monster on jeopardy a few years back.

The monster on Jeopardy is a close friend of mine. Reads every book and has unbelievable memory. Can tell you what Abraham Lincoln's third cousin's sister's husband's second grade teacher's name was.

Line of the day from the crowd: Ponds took one of their kids into the lane, shake and baked him, absolutely broke his ankles and laid it in. Somebody yells at the Princeton kid "THAT WASNT ON THE SAT'S!!"

Yea but Mr. Carlisle was really an exceptional teacher.

Mia kulpa! Called my friend to tell him he rated a mention on JJ. He goes to games but doesn't read or post on boards. He reminded me the show he was on where he won and earned $25,000 was not Jeopardy but a history game show (which I already forgot the name of but it was on TV). He also reminded me that he didn't even go to St. John's a fact I am well award of but I guess I just got caught up in the memory of his achievement and the fact he is so damn smart. Apologies.

Not a big fan of reinventing the wheel.

Don't like it when coaches go for two point conversions in the first period of previously scoreless games or when coaches don't start 3 of their best 5 players. However, I must admit that for this brilliant coach it worked.  Johnnies had a 2 pt. lead when the starters came in at the 1st media timeout. More importantly Hammer had no fouls.

Mullin was great in the press conference. "Coaches decision!"  Walden seems to have a bad head cold.  He couldn't stop sniffling.

When we are playing unselfishly, the spacing is good and we're really moving the rock, it's a thing of beuty.  To have five athletic players who can all shoot from outside and create off the bouce is a very dangerous thing.

The contestant I was referring to was on college jeopardy, and that girl made it to the finals...may have won it, but I don't remember.
