I know Pitino is slimy and they will be highly seeded, but I think it’s pretty cool that they are so good this year. A true blast from the past. The fact that it’s happening right after coach Lou passed away adds to the story.

I think it would be a good thing for cbb if St John’s makes a deep run and even wins it all.

MSG was ROCKING today

Yes, but I don't think they will go past the sweet 16 unfortunately.

Draw-dependent and how well their opponents can handle constant pressure.

St. John's reminds me a lot of Memphis. Some games they're hitting their shots and they can light up the scoreboard, but when they're missing...it's the ultimate rock fight. But, they're very athletic and going to constantly pressure you and see if you can handle it.

Interesting team to watch. I could see them losing in the first round if they aren't hitting their shots or going to the final four. Similar to Memphis in that respect, as well.

They're almost certainly going to be put in our bracket.

Otherwise, yes. I'll root for them.

Hell no, I'll never forgive Dick and others for the double standard that forgave Rick and vilified my coach. My coach did what the rest of them did, Rick orchestrated yacht orgies and screwed women not his wife in restaurant back rooms and my guy is Hitler and Rick deserves forgiveness. frick Pitino!

Still trying to figure out how St John’s lost to UGA.

If I remember correctly the Johnnies shot about 30% from the field that game. Couldn’t make a three to save their lives.
