I don’t get Gil. Why are they so high on him?

Too depressed to type.  C-ya later.

I guess it wasn't the total final 9 1/2 minutes.  We did make a 3 after he went to the bench to cut it to 3, but we became unorganized with about 4 minutes left , where you have to bring him back.  We had no clue what we were doing, and needed some experience to help calm us down.

 

Yeah, it's a brutal situation to be sure. I can't argue either way, but I do understand why he sat him. It's just unfortunate that this team wasn't ready to play at all tonight. I'm not even all that impressed with the Johnnies, either.

Wow, this is absolutely pathetic. St John's is absolutely clowning Nebraska. Throwing alley oops off of the backboard even.

When Michigan State did the same thing last year is when the end of the season completely went down the toilet.

Need to start Roby with Copeland at the 5 immediately

We just have a knack for soiling our pants against Big East teams don’t we?

I'm pretty sure the game highlights are going to be all St. John's all day.

Doesn’t get more embarrassing than that. Hopefully it was an off night but it’s looking to be another long long long winter at the PBA. 

[Red Don]

Well, That was ....... Unhhh, Never Mind.

[hskr4life]

St. Johns will be a pretty decent team this year.  Quick, can shoot.

Yeah, by the looks of this, Nebraska will be lucky to keep it within 30 points in their Big East matchup vs Creighton...

15 points total out of the three centers in 3 games.  So, yes.

That was atrocious, looking forward to getting laughed out of the CLink again in a little over 3 weeks

Guard play was the difference.

 

Our starting guards:  8-27 FG's 4-10 from 3  7-10 from the FT line.  27 points 11 rebounds 5 assists 9 turnovers

 

Their starting guards: 20-42 FG's 2-10 from 3 7-12 from the FT line.  49 points 22 rebounds 9 assists 3 turnovers.

My take is St.Johns will not do well in the Big East. Middle of the pack if they are lucky.

This.

 

They aren't a great team.  Flashy, undisciplined.   Will look great at times.  Bad at others.

I haven't been able to see any of the student broadcast, but it can't be worse than the first half telecast by FS1 that I watched.  I synced my Dish up to Kent for the 2nd half. 

[WestOHusker]

Burn the black jerseys. Or leave them in New York. Drop em in the bay. I never wanna see em again

Never be the guy who talks right after the refs tell everyone to calm down.

We were a bad team last year and have not played well in 5 of the 6 halves they’ve played this far.   Until anything real is shown otherwise, we’re not good 

 

This is accurate. We very well might have good players but we haven't figured out how to play as a good team. Eastern Illinois might be a serviceable team but a "good team" wouldn't have been sweating them out at home.

You're talking about a slow ball coach who took 9 years to win 20 games. Don't you think we could do better if it comes down to that?

[OmahaHusker]

I just watched the St John's highlights to see if it really was as bad as it was after calming down a bit. My word of advice is do not watch the highlights. That alley oop they threw off the back board is going to make me sleep uneasy tonight. Let's get some MO back on our side and come out hungry against North Dakota

He's a quick defender who knows where he is supposed to be. Has shown ability to drive and shoot from long range.

I'm not saying that I agree with all of this nor agreeing with the amount of minutes; just putting together the reasons I think he's out there.
