St. John’s sitting players or game is meaningless?

[seaborneq]

How are they getting points against Marquette?

 

[BMR Genie]

Are they playing safe? Avoiding injuries?

Could be. They shouldn’t be getting points under “normal” circumstances.

Just stay away from the game

Line is not far off, Kenpom is 100% mechanical and he has Marq -2. Marq is home and teams not that far apart, Johnnies #17, Marq #26.

Marquette is at home and lost to St. John’s only by 6pts in the Garden last month. The line seems right.

I would hold St. John realizes this could impact their NCAA Tourny seeding. I hope they aren't mailing it in.

Yeah, they are sitting at #2-3 seeding but it’s not set in stone. Why would they not try to win this game? If they lose this game and play horrible in Big East tournament, it might drop them a seed or two. Very important game for them.

bizarre move if true

Good luck to all who are taking the action to this game.

And they’re only a few games a week. I think the players are gonna end up playing.

99% of college players will never play ball again so explain to me why any of them would want to sit? This isn't the NBA where guys get days off because they stayed up too late playing PS5 and the regular season means next to nothing. With little to no risk of injury in most games this isn't week 18 of the NFL season. They play their guys and try to win, if you want a winning culture you have to be consistent.

+5 now

 

[Tanko]

I don't think the decision is up to the players on if they play but I think St. Johns will play to win.

Now, a game to be aware of is Houston vs Baylor. I think Sampson may rest some guys a little. They are playing for absolutely nothing. They will be a #1 seed in the dance and want to win the Big12 tourny. The line should be way more than -4 for them at Baylor, a team that is not that good.

Great first half. Must be a Senior Day line.

 

[KingKolzig]

Pitino certainly wants this

 

[jjgold]

Watch St. John’s win

Oh man, this is going to go down to the wire!
