Watch St. John's close tonight

I agree with this one. St Johns is pretty athletic, and they play hard. They will be motivated tonight.

InTheHole · 02-19-09, 04:54 PM

St. Johns doesnt have a chance in hell

unde0087 · 02-19-09, 04:54 PM

they have been athletic and have played hard for the past two years and still have lost by a combined 47 points in the 2 games

couldn't have said it better myself

the point isn't if they have a chance tonight.... which i actually think they do...

but pretty much every play on the floor for them tonight, will be playing next year AND the year after that...

so tonight is a preview of a future top ranked team IMO

Archie,
I am a huge St Johns fan. I have been that way for like 6 years. Even back in the glory days with Hatten and they won the NIT, I knew there spots. Duke 90% of the time whoops there tail. Although this team is tuff, it could be a blowout by duke. The ONLY safe bet here is Duke ML, other than that dont touch the game.

InTheHole · 02-19-09, 05:06 PM

I teased it to 8

unde0087 · 02-19-09, 05:16 PM

you also have to factor in how much Coach K is tired of hearing about the Big East, he is going to run the score up as far as he can

you say St Johns doesn't have a chance and then you tease the points?

MicGan · 02-19-09, 05:48 PM

Usually I'll say the same thing about the Dukies. Ever since the lost to Wake Forest. They are 1-4 covering the spread. The line is from 10.5 to 13.5 now and 87% at Duke favor.

This is the only chance for St John National televise game and they are playing at home. I like Dukies to win but not sure if they will cover 13.5. ML should be the safest play, and that what I say when they play BC and I drop like a idiot. So the point is, Is Duke really overrated or underrated? I guess we will know by tonight, good luck everyone.

ryanXL977 · 02-19-09, 05:49 PM

no more overrated team in the world year in and year out than duke

they are the yanks
the cowboys
the houston rockets

all in one

R3Sports · 02-19-09, 05:50 PM

I am leaning towards Duke and the points..

Chi_archie · 02-19-09, 06:57 PM

so many points for a televised road game, that SJU is gonna be up for...

SJU can be explosive, I won't be suprised if they are up 3 at the 10 min mark.....

Bread · 02-19-09, 07:07 PM

Duke -13.5 here. Small play.

Mac4Lyfe · 02-19-09, 07:12 PM

St John's here... 1 Unit +13.5 They are very athletic and we all know Duke has problems with athletes and physicality. I wouldn't be surprised if they win the game.

Duke has also been struggling trying to score. I think they go down tonight.

ryanXL977 · 02-19-09, 07:26 PM

mygodst johns isawful

wow

Mac4Lyfe · 02-19-09, 07:27 PM

I hate refs what a BS charging call against St John... 5 point swing on some bullchit.

Bread · 02-19-09, 07:29 PM

St John's needs Rod Strickland back.

Mac4Lyfe · 02-19-09, 07:30 PM

How the fuc can they call bullshit charges when the Duke guy slides underneath the shooter??? I can't stand charges in college basketball. Fucing bich move.

Iwinyourmoney · 02-19-09, 07:30 PM

Tried to tell em Bread. They dont listen

j0hnnyv · 02-19-09, 07:31 PM

dukes beastn takin those charges. st johns thinks they can keep plowing defenders over in the lane. shit dont work vs duke

duke by 25

Bread · 02-19-09, 07:32 PM

Lou Carnesecca could be this team's MVP if he played point

Bread · 02-19-09, 07:32 PM

If I win a game where a Big East team is involved, I'll be shocked. GO DUKE!

College game is controlled by the refs on every possession. It's so out of hand it's pitiful. If I didn't bet on games I'd never watch this chit. Whistle, whistle, whistle, whistle... more dam whistles than points.

It really is excrutiating having to watch and root for St. John's. They may be the worst ball skill team I've ever seen try to play at this level. Hopefully they can get some prayer of a backdoor cover.

ryanXL977 · 02-19-09, 08:27 PM

well i guess i see why the line was huge
strict system play for me
the system fails today folks
the system fails today

Mac4Lyfe · 02-19-09, 08:31 PM

Don't lose faith now... If the refs let them play, St John can get back in the game.

Fiasco · 02-19-09, 08:32 PM

acc>big east

ryanXL977 · 02-19-09, 08:32 PM

duke aint even top 3-4 in the acc
but then, st johns aint even top 8 in the BE

ill take unc over any team in the BE

Ralphie1412 · 02-19-09, 08:38 PM

doubting ur play with 9 minutes left when u throw a fit when other people do that, st johns sucks, period! Horrrible play

ryanXL977 · 02-19-09, 08:40 PM

thats one more troll i forgot to block
done and done
forgot about that toolbox

kipper32 · 02-19-09, 08:55 PM

hopefully the fix is in for st johns

ryanXL977 · 02-19-09, 08:59 PM

we are about to see
honestly, this is a game where st johns should have covered, these refs made it kinda hard int he first
but again, this wasnt a bad bet, st johns has tried, they just arent that good
but i could see them being good soon, like charlie archie said,. they clearly have ballers, they just cant play yet

gonna be close
