    of coarse it could backfire and they lay down but ill give the HOF coach the benefit of the doubt that he knows what he is doing

    I don't understand this. There is no certainty they win this game SU, why not try in the big east tourney and maybe turn some heads and make it to the semis or something.

    This could be good. I trust Calhoun here. Maybe Robinson, edwards and dyson will come out pissed off and on a mission.

    who cares? Bet the house that they play around the same minutes as normal coming off the bench

    Calhoun's obviously trying to light a fire under his team by changing things up. Big gamble, but could have huge rewards

    They will get in the game rather quickly. Still like UCONN

    while my initial reaction was 'oh crap,' this actually could be good news. if UConn is focused, they should beat St John's by double digits. a tactic like this should only make them more focused. plus, it's not as if there's no talent on UConn's bench.

    and i completely disagree that they'll mail it in to show up their coach. you have to wait until you're in the NBA to do that.

    1H 2.5 & 60. What you guys think? I prefer playing 2H plays once you see what they are doing. Just hit under 66 2H on USF.
