you were wrong yest. and you'll be wrong today.

74-71 Storm.

if we win and a couple in the top 25 lose we will be ranked.

St. John's 58
Cornell 51

We beat them last year. Now they'll have to contend with Brownlie and Evans, and they won't be able to.

If we guard the 3 well, we'll blow them away.

SJU 78, Cornell 64

Hardy records a career high.

if we win and a couple in the top 25 lose we will be ranked.

This game doesn't impact this week's rankings.

Time for this team to roll for once some great D lots of transition buckets 72-55

St. John's-76
Cornell-61

We'd have a chance to be ranked after Christmas - next week.

It wouldn't be the first or the last time.

This is going to be a hard one. I can see Cornell pulling it out if they shoot really well from 3 and we don't. However, they will also need to be able to rebound defensively against us (which I don't think they will do).

In summary, riding on our play in the last 6 minutes of last night, I think we will play good defense tonight (Coker IMO will need to be on Foote) and pull out with a 5 or 6 point victory.

Have you seen that Cornell scores a lot of points and doesnt play much defense?  Scores in the 50's would be a big surprise.

Beat them last year easily. We are better, have more depth, and are much more athletic. We should win by 10.74- 64

I think Coker should be giving the "full body massage" (as what's his name puts it) to Foote, but if you make him run, he shows why he's been at the A-10 and Ivy level - Jeff Foote's endurance is substandard. 

Wittman is a smart offensive player, he'll make plays.  Can the Johnnies play without dumb turnovers?  Can Evans make plays down low without getting blocked?  Can Hardy and/ or Horne go off?

As for last year, they were operating without their PG Louis Dale.  He looked mediocre last night but he's pretty decent, quick and effective.  I think the kid deep on their bench, Errick Peck, could come in and give St. John's fits. 

Stj-  86 
Cornell- 84

  Best game of the year for the fans
  Hardy builds off of yesterday-  27 pts
  DJ-  triple double-   heard it here 1st!

St. John's 73 Cornell 60

82-73 St. John's! 

Too many athletes.  Whitmann will have his hands full on defense with DJ.  Their bigs will not be able to stay with Brownlee and Evans.
