Eff them.  Glad they're about to lose.

Me too. Not a fan of Carolina either, but they aren't on our bubble

This thread becomes completely moot if the guys have another let down in Omaha on Wednesday

Lunardi quote

For the record, I've always liked St. John's and spent a lot of friendly time with Steve Lavin during his ESPN days. But it was clear to me Sunday as Duke sprinted past the Red Storm that his team is a tease. And that Selection Sunday isn't going to end well for the Johnnies.

Meh. I don't think we will make the tournament either, but Lunardi isn't a prognosticator of future results, he just makes a bracket based on what has occurred thus far. Wouldn't put much stock in his results predictions

Coach can't let season slip away playing a hurt Harrison 35. Losing a hard fought game is one thing, but not busting hump with season on line would leave a bad taste.

"43. St. John's Red Storm

The Johnnies have talent and athleticism, which was on display against Duke. But when the game was on the line, St. John's backed up. The Red Storm have lost five of seven going into Creighton, and have not done a good enough job on the glass. Without rebounding at a higher level, St. John's will remain a bubble team until Selection Sunday. -- Jay Bilas"

Guess Jay doesnt subscribe to the Steve Lavin Theory of Rebounding Is Overrated...neither does Pat Summitt for what it's worth (offense sells tickets, defense wins games, rebounding wins championships).

I guess we can do away with this thread now

Time for this thread to be shut down

CBI thread. Maybe we'll play Wright St at home. Cant wait

Doesn't believe in REBOUNDING from losses either I guess.

According to Lunardi's bracket math, after this loss we are still in the first four out.

Rpi has dropped to 59. Right behind them at 60, is everyone's favorite team from the MAAC

I will never understand how different sites can have different, fully updated, RPI rankings.  I was under the impression it was purely statistical...doesn't make sense that two can be different.

49

I don't get it...

Don't we have 13 wins??

Or does FDU not count due to being d2?

Correct, RPI only accounts for D1 games

Fdu is div 1. Although I believe another opponent is div 2.
