Surprise W

I'm going with Creighton. We have no business losing to a team from Omaha.

I went with Creighton as well. They struggled with athletic teams in GW and San Diego St. So I think if St. John's plays like against GT in the second half pressing and up tempo they could upset Creighton.

I don't think the G-Town should be a surprise win.  Also, what is a surprise win?  a game we are over a 10pt underdog?  Only 'Cuse and MU will be over 10pts.  the other 2 will be around 7-9pt spreads.  We beat Nova as long as we box and one Ryan A.

Perhaps a more salient question is who  can we upset on the road, since we will be dogs in most, if not all of them.

To the 5 people who picked SU, where are you ordering your weed from? May I have the number?

I think Marquette is in trouble this year.

I think our best chance for a surprising road victory will be @ Villanova.     That game is late enough in the year that if we're ever going to have our sh*t together, it will be by then.   

I hope I'm wrong, but I think Syracuse and @ Gtown are losses.    When all is said and done I think Georgetown ends up being the best team in this league.   Hoping we're #2.   

I think we beat four out of five of them...maybe more than once.

Are you Lavin's nephew? 

Just an optimist and think we can be good....not yet in the Mich St. NC, Ariz, KY,  league but in the Big East League...we have a way,way better shot than Knicks, Nets, Yanks, Mets, jets, Giants,  Columbia.....I think it will be fun watching St. John's get  better and better.....watching Jordan grow etc....but then i also think we have a good shot at Diallo and Govan.....BTW, FWIW, I never answer questions about my relatives....I don't think it's outrageous to think we at least split w the good Big East teams...or most of them.  I've seen great improvement  so far this year....the same way Lavin's first team improved  three years ago.  NCAA's here we come!!!!!

I have been very unimpressed with GTown from what I have seen of them this year. It's still very early, but I think this league is the definition of wide open.

A win vs Syracuse would make my life.

None of these would be surprise wins.....

That's why I voted 'Cuse. Only one that would really be considered a surprise win.

Only 'Cuse and MU will be over 10pts.

Don't think we're more than a 10 pt dog to the Orange on a "neutral" court.

I have a funny feeling that sooner or later (let's hope sooner) this team is going to put together a complete performance and then look out...

If we destroy Fordham, and compete with SU, I think you'd be right regarding the remaining 4 teams. If we lose to both Fordham and SU, just about any win would be a surprise. If we split w Fordham/SU, I'd assume nothing has changed with our standing. We'd still be a team w plenty of work to do.
