I dont follow UCLA that much being from the east coast but I am a huge St. Johns fan and this team is a mess. Jarvis was successful in entirely sinking this once proud basketball program to nothing. He is finally gone, Willie Shaw kicked off the team for smoking to much pot, and the team is having its worst year ever and are winless in the Big East. They have officially hit rock bottom. Its painful to see the great Lou Carnesecca sitting in the stands watching this once great program he built crumble before his eyes. Anyways, I can not see this team beating UCLA tomorrow. There is only 1 issue that stands out and that is the game time. Being that it starts at 1:30 eastern time, UCLA players will feel like it is 10:30am. What kind of affect will that have on the players? :shrug: Will they be sluggish, keeping St. Johns in the game and possibly winning the game? Although this is St. Johns home away from home game at MSG, I do not expect many fans, so that should not be a problem. I think this should be a no brainer but who knows.

Will decide in the morning but definitely leaning UCLA!!

Just was in the car coming home from the gym - and they are still advertising tickets for this game - saying you can go up to the ticket window at MSG and get great seats. Not a typical thing for the Garden. I expect this place to be empty tonight.

johnny b,agree with you.I think its the best play of the day.I don't think Johnnies will just fold.they did play cuse,georgetown and a few others close games.But Grizape hit it on the head.This team is in turmoil.
And I really think UCLA playing at the Garden is a treat.A pre-NIT non league,non conf, nationally televised game.
