2013-2014 Schedule

Nova can go either way.  I see them as a team losing two of their three bigs so that Pinkston at 6 7 is the second tallest player on the team and their only "big" recruit is a 6'5" PF, albeit a 4 star one.  Is there a big on redshirt or transfer?  If not I just think they're gonna have some trouble on d and the boards.  Ochefu got minutes as a backup and looked like a backup for life.  No doubt Pinkston and Arch are very good but the balance of their players are just alright.   I think they'll be about the same as this year or worse.  It'll depend on how Arch is chucking 'em from 25' that night and he's just a 32% 3pg shooter to begin with.

I was actually impressed by Ochefu. I think nova will be just fine next year. Hilliard and Arch developed great chemistry as the season went on. Pinkston might be the strongest player in the league and Bell is as good as it gets in terms of glue guys IMO.

St.John's vs Columbia. The storied rivalry continues.

We are the first game of that tripleheader.  There is absolutely no point in playing this game at Barclays.  Just more money I have to spend outside of season tickets to sit in a dead arena watching a blowout.

Yeah doesn't seem so smart.

Ochefu is a serviceable big man but he's going to have to be more than that as the only guy with size.  Pinkston's a beast on the Offensive end but as a rebounder Dom, Jakarr and of course Chris (whose rebounding everyone complained about most of the year) are as strong or stronger.  As I said they can go either way but I can't see many scenarios where they're a better all around team than STJ.

On paper, right now, we're better. If our best players are all eligible and healthy we are more talented then them.

Hopefully, because face value for an upper level seat is currently 26 bucks.

The upper level will be completely empty. Just be patient when they go in sale.

zzzzzzz.....  VCU might be interesting to watch, but for an unappreciative lout like myself, last year's head-line game at Barclays was much more interesting.

Yeah no way am I staying 3 hours after our game during the holiday season to watch VCU-BC.  Tripleheaders stink.

Badgers...  Good Test early

Interesting.  I like the game a lot, but South Dakota?

SJU vs Wisconsin is an awesome game, but South Dakota just weird.  Gonna be an interesting matchup in styles.  One deliberate half-court team vs one running team.   Mel Gibson and the militia vs Cornwallis.  Time to break out our tomahawk...
