Best players from Harvard, Fordham, UMass, etc.; not what Dr. Naismith anticipated.

According to the announcers - "Montgomery and Octave are one of the best backcourts in the Patriot League." Interesting.

With their edge in raw talent, SJ is turning this into a show that could rival the Globetrotters.

Guards can’t score.
Are we afraid because Kevin Durant is watching?

There is no team in the PL that will put the pressure on like SJ's.

This is just so distressing

Not unexpected, with what is essentially an all-star team pulled in by Pitino.

Transfers are an integral part of big time programs. SJU has had woeful teams over the last 20 years +. Give the coach credit. He was able to attract a good group of players from among others Kansas & UNC. The team is getting great press in NYC. There is a buzz surrounding the Johnnies. This is merely the beginning for SJU. And, for HC it's about process. Paulsen has a good group who will surprise in the PL. This is merely the beginning for HC. Heads held high.

Holy Cross could've had Pitino. We thought Brett Nelson was better. It is what it is.

Pitino seems to be calling off the dogs with so many subs used. But this is a very deep team, so they will keep pressing and scoring. It may mean a bit more respectable score at the end...but not necessarily.

To this point, St John's has taken 27 more field goal attempts than HC has taken, Hard to believe

OK, HC may well be getting better but to see HC so outclassed by on-court talent can be described as distressing. Note "distressing" - not "hopeless."

Less depressed watching this than so many other games in the past few years — simply because there is hope. Definitely think HC will wini a fair share of league games. Don’t think HC will be out coached or ill prepared when those games roll around.

There is a huge leap between the Big East and Pl......Player level, not as students....These types of games will prove to help the team in the PL schedule....HC cannot duplicate the size and speed they saw tonight in their practices...It is what it is, a pay game. It helps finance their budget.

Although expected, of course it is distressing. No one wants to see HC lose like this. There is no team in the PL as talented , athletic & long as is St.John's. However, think of where HC has been the last decade. This HC team is better. HC is a program on the rise. The guys are gonna' surprise in the PL.
