ST JOHNS GAME THREAD GAME TIME CHANGE

Postby muskieman » Fri Jan 23, 2026 1:03 pm

THE FIRST GAME OF DAD AND SON If Rick wins, it would be #900, and when Richard wins, it will be 258.

When: Saturday, Jan 24th, TIME: 1:30 p.m. changed from the 2:30 start time due to weather

TEMPS: Saturday Morning -4 or -5 with 8-12 inches of snow by Sunday

Where: CINTAS CENTER

TV: TNT/truTV Brian Anderson (play‑by‑play) and Grant Hill (analyst), with Andy Katz as the sideline reporter.
NOTE: TV broadcast will be shown in its entirety on truTV and HBOMax. TNT will join the game in progress following the conclusion of the Georgetown at Providence game, which tips off at 12:30 p.m.
Radion: 700 wlw

🧩 Key Matchup Themes
Pace & scoring: Both teams can score, but St. John’s has been more efficient and consistent.

Three-point differential: Xavier hits nearly 10 threes per game; St. John’s allows fewer than 7.

Recent momentum: St. John’s enters hotter; Xavier has been inconsistent defensively.

Star power: Carroll vs. Ejiofor/Jackson sets up a compelling offensive duel
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

This game is starting out like the Creighton game. The guards are playing terrible defense. St. john's is shooting 73 % .

Wow what pace. Anderson and Carroll are really playing. Hope we can continue this pace.

When St. John's shooting percentage started to fall with a 2 plus minute, X took advantage and took lead by 7. Refs have been weak on a number of calls as usual.

Put Anderson back in. Moore is getting killed on the defensive end. Doesn't anticipate or fight thru screens. Not sure what Wright is doing to earn all his time

Need to pick up the pace again. Put in Anderson. Not enough movement on offense.

The physicality of St. John’s is just killing us in the second half

The semi-bald ref is crap. Always has been, and doing it again today. The young one is challenging to be the worst

You cannot win when you continually give up 90 pts. We do not or cannot play D
