They'll celebrate for a minute but it's all about the tourney seed. Gotta be a 5 seed or higher
Selection committee loves UConn but hates Pitino. If they can screw him they will.

Catholic School from the Northeast .The Ncaa always sends us far away.
We beat Uconn twice and they are playing in Philly
SJU to San Diego.
The NCAA bias continues

Look at the bracket from Dukes perspective
They are the supposed overall #1 seed
Their bracket has SJ’s, UCONN, Kansas, Michigan State and UCLA who everyone is high on as a 7
How is that fair as an overall 1 seed?
That said, 3 years ago it felt like UCONN got totally snubbed and got a 4 seed in a brutal bracket with no chance
They went on an epic run and blew everyone away and won it all
If you wanna be the champ, you gotta beat the best. Lets see what happens

Nonsense!
You make it sound as if Duke has to play all those teams. They don't!
While SJU has to play 2.road games as a #5 seed.
I'm any event, Northern Iowa is the only team SJU needs to worry about!

OK, since you didn’t like the last one, here’s the reality of it all
St Johns had a great year by their standards
They had a great record. They won the Big East regular season and had a big win in the Big East Championship
They beat UCONN twice!!
But they also lost to UCONN in horrible fashion. They went almost an entire half without scoring a basket
They lost all early season games against out of conference opponents
They beat no high rated teams other than UConn
They have no history of long term success
They were not getting higher than a 4 seed with that resume
Miami of Ohio had 1 loss in the last game of the season and barely made the tournament as a low seed
If the Johnnies are as good as they appear to be playing right now, go prove it

The crying is over. They DO need to prove how good they are
Enjoy the games
I may have mentioned it before, a good friend of my son is on the St Johns Pep Band and is a senior now. The band is making the trip to San Diego and he is on cloud nine and all psyched up.

Stony Brook Men's lost their first game against a team they've beaten during the regular season. 🙁
At least Avenger Jr. got a free trip to D.C. and they were back before he missed any classes.
My alma mater got pasted by Alabama yesterday. Oh well, at least they made it that far. Now I can pay attention to important things.

Dominated Kansas most of the game and held on for dear life at the end. Best win in a long time. Defense might be best in nation. They're intense.
Crazy intense finish
What a win over a top program to keep moving on
Duke better be paying attention or SJ’s will bounce them👍

Was a good run and a great season. SJU had every opportunity to beat Duke but failed to execute in the end.
They gave it all they had against Duke and left it all on the court. For awhile it appeared they were going to win
No shame and Im sure they will retool and be back with a vengeance next yers
At least I'm enjoyin' the ride.....
