I just read an article about SJ’s in todays Newsday. I agree that their season is far from over and still have 19 games to get on track and go on a run and I think they will.
But, although most games are against the Big East, all division games are a dog fight and any team can win in any given night. UCONN played Butler and DePaul and both played stifling defense and made us earn each win. I don’t see any team going undefeated in the division.

After the last couple of games I really thought the Johnnies were turning it around and going on a run
Another step backwards today on their own court. Like I said, all Big East games are a dog fight and you can’t take anyone for granted
Lets see how they rebound after this one

Looks like the Johnnies are waking up and figuring it out a bit?
At least they are beating the teams they should be.
Lets see how they do against Seton Hall, Uconn, and Villanova to get a better idea of where they stand.

What a joke
Fouls called tonight in SJ’s favor 30-15
They took 41 FT’s vs 17 for Xavier
2 games in a row that got handed to them by refs
You play aggressively in the paint and you get the calls. Plain and simple.
This team is starting to look dangerous.............next game is a tough one. Providence.

Yes for sure
I understand how the game works 😎
Game vs UConn, Uconn drove aggressively to basket and didn’t get calls
I watched alot of last nights game and Xavier was not getting calls their way
Yes, agressive play draws fouls
2 lopsided called games in a row is more than SJ’s just playing harder than the other team

That's sports!
Especially in todays world of legalized gambling we all unfortunately become cynical and 2nd guess everything
Regardless, all SJ’s fans should enjoy the current state of their team and see where it all goes 👍👍

The best part is the Johnnies are relavent again
The games against UCONN, NOVA ect are fun again. Not blowouts
Great to see the fans from both sides come out and root thier team on

Yes, right now SJ’s is the better team and trending upward while UConn is looking shakier by the minute and on the verge of having their season spiral out of control with the next 3 games in a row against Villanova, SJ’s, and Seton Hall.
If I were a SJ’s fan, I’d be feeling pretty good about Wednesday’s showdown

Hurley will light the fire. Problem with the Big East is outside of the top 4, it's hard for these guys to get up for games night in and night out.
UConn has alot of firepower but needs more toughness on D.

Like I stated earlier, Hurley will light a fire under his guys and he did. They played with a sense of urgency and completely dominated a good team.
SJU continues to have poor shooting but no excuse for getting out rebounded.
SJU will be better for this loss. I expect to see this rematch in the Big East title game.
