Thanks to Ohio State's win over Maryland, the Illini have clinched a better conference record than Maryland, so they can finish no worse than 13th.

It's an 18 team league ?

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Casey Jacobsen at halftime of the Md vs OSU talking about Mich Az as the best of the rest. The other host said what about Illini. Jacobsen could talk and looked dumbfounded. He will find out how good we are on Saturday night.

These guys have to analyze 50 teams and everything from the heavy favorites to best of the rest to the bubble teams. There are a LOT of best of the rest teams and a LOT of bubble teams The fact that we're mentioned, he didn't have as much to add about us as you'd like..... meh. He's right. Win on Saturday and keep winning. That stuff takes care of itself. Nobody really cares about where everyone is February 6th. March 6th, different story. We have a lot of big games coming up.

Guessing there will be a lot of St. John's fans around the nation tonight! 7:00 pm on FOX for those wanting to tune in. According to my ESPN App, UConn will open as a 1.5-point favorite. It kind of sucks that in a relatively big top 25 matchup like this - and easily UConn's toughest remaining regular season game - the Johnnies will likely only have a marginal home court advantage, playing in an NBA arena that will surely be filled with a decent UConn contingent on a Friday night.

If this doesn't become a running bit I will be sad..

I hate nights when there are no B10 games.

Mullins for Uconn is so skilled offensively.

 

[LarryGotFouled]

A Bryce Hopkins sighting!!! 7th year?

 

[LarryGotFouled]

We’re rooting for St, John’s here right? From a competitive #1 seed standpoint?

 

[Rebounding Dog]

Uconn/St. Johns looks fast paced after watching us! Good game btw!

 

[Sheldon Ram]

Hurley is the 6th man on defense. Crazy, he’s at least 5 feet on the floor

 

[Ga65]

UConn- St. John’s game would have 50 fouls in the first half if they used BIG refs.

 

[RabidDawgClassic]

A Bryce Hopkins sighting!!! 7th year?

I seriously thought he was out of college basketball.

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

I thought he retired

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

I have very little faith St. John’s does enough to win this one, but I’m certainly keeping hope alive!

Scared of the West Suburban Silver and scared of the B1G, but go Johnnies.

 

[Bryce Hopkins]

We’re all big Bryce Hopkins fans tonight.

We've always been a fan of this Bryce guy!!!

 

[CentralILLini]

What a high intensity game this is.

 

[biglug58]

Clear taunting on UConn after slam. No call?

 

[RabidDawgClassic]

UConn player talks trash all the way down the court, nothing called. Tomi turns and says one thing… Technical.

 

[TheFlyingIllini1317]

Super fun game. Kinda shocking how bad the Big East is as a conference, just three top 50 kenpom teams. I know they aren't getting football revenue, but all their rev share can just go to hoops.

 

[Rebounding Dog]

Hurley makes a fuss every call…. that crap gets old. His team never fouls…. never in his brain. Sit down bud and STFU… please!
