NCAA official said this could affect the Red Storm. (Me: Not sure if this means selection or seeding).

 What a mess

Redmen curse....

I hate everything.

Only St. John's could voluntarily cost themselves a tournament bid. Wow. Not saying that will definitely happen, but they could have easily announced this tomorrow. Why would they do this hours before the selection? Mind-boggling.

I am not even mad. It would have been great to win a few games. Players had their chance . They lost it. I can't keep getting excited only to be let down. You guys were right from the beginning . Get this guys out of here. Their is no doubt now. Still hoping to enjoy round 1. Round 2 will get ugly.

why could this not have waited til tomorrow. If we are not selected now because of this, he should be fired at midnight tonight.

Time to get a Hurley while the getting is good. Enough of this nonsense

Lavin said it "would not be ethical to withhold the info"

ETHICAL.

IN COLLEGE BASKETBALL.

#$%^ this guy fire his ass.

I would give anything for Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones to do that men in black thing and erase every moment as a st johsn fan from the last 15 years from my memory at this point.

Announcing this now is alone grounds for firing Lavin. We knew he wasn't a rocket scientist, but wow, is he stupid.

Maybe we can announce Bobby Hurley as our next head coach a week from Monday

How much do you guys really think this affect seeding ? They are done . They worked on this for weeks. Obekpa averages 6 points a game .

yea, but he probably prevents 8 or so on defense between blocks and opposing players avoiding the lane.

I think we're still in.  And it won't affect us too much, but it may bump us to a 10.    For seeding purposes, it's not the end of the world.
In terms of our chances of advancing, it's practically a death blow.

This is horrible.

With the right match up we could still win 1 round.  There is no way we can beat any 1 or 2 in the field without Obekpa.

Seed is irrelevant.  Can't win without a serviceable center.  Joey ? Was so looking forward to making plans to travel and root.  All in the @#$%^^.  This program is maddening !!!

Not much, if any at all, considering it's so, late in the process.

Real crappy news, nonetheless.

We will be no better than an 11 now and might be in a play-in game

Fire Lavin now

Maybe this was good news . I still want to win the first game . I will still root like hell if we win but we have no chance . Get this bum out of here.
