here is some info that i found on St. Johns
Going into a game without six players is a lot like visiting
your favorite strip club blindfolded.
St. John's will have only eight bodies available for
Sunday's game against Boston College after the Red
Storm disciplined five players for convincing a stripper
to join them at the team's hotel in Pittsburgh to have sex. The woman later lied in
a police report stating that she was raped by the players.
Starting small forward Grady Reynolds was expelled on Thursday and two more
starters could soon follow. The school also put the wheels in motion to expel guard
Elijah Ingram and center Abe Keita after a hearing before the school's dean of
discipline next week. Lamont Hamilton and Mohamed Diakite were suspended
indefinitely while Tyler Jones was suspended for at least one game.
St. John's, having lost eight of their last
nine, plans to start all four of
the scholarship players left on the
team: senior Kyle Cuffe, grad student
Andre Stanley, senior Curtis Johnson
and sophomore Daryll Hill.
Cuffe and Hill are the only two regular
starters remaining in the lineup. Cuffe
leads the team grabbing 6.5 boards per
game while Hill (11.5 points per game)
is the team's top scorer now that
Ingram and Reynolds are out.
The Red Storm is left with four
walk-ons, a former walk-on in his first
year on scholarship, and a center that has played just once in the past two months.
Walk-ons Nygel Roach, Joe McDonald, Devin Mayo and Phil Missere have played
in no more than two games this season. McDonald is the lone walk-on to score a
bucket this year.
Interim coach Kevin Clark, athletic director Dave Wegrzyn and team minister Rev.
James Maher met with the shorthanded team on Friday morning.
"The tone was very somber," Wegrzyn told Newsday. "But I felt the meeting was very
productive and they expressed their feelings. I think the team i s in a much better
place because of the meeting."
St. John's is just 5-14 on the year straight up (SU) and has a poor 5-10 record against
the spread (ATS). Boston College is 14-7 SU, and has a 9-7 record ATS.
Oddsmakers have yet to set a line for the game.
Scores and Odds has a line of 8- which I think is 3 points to low., Would like to hear what others have to say.
