It appears everyone hates St.Joes..

[Journeyman]

All I am reading is how St. Joes sucks and they will be bounced early and yadda yadda yadda, oh and Lou Martelli is an ugly man...Why all the hate posts knocking this team? All they did was win every regular season game and shoot the lights out most of the season...

Now usually people in general love a good underdog/cinderella story...especially in the tourney...

I hope the bracket is busted up with Gonzaga and St.Joes in the final four just to spite you 'small school' haters!

all that being said, I do think this years bracket seeding is peculiar to say the least

Jman... don't think its a issue of St.Joes sucking but an issue instead of whether they deserve a top seed. Look at it this way.. if St. Joes played Ok.St/Texas/FL/Pitt just to name a few do you think they would be favored over any of them? I don't. They are just a good team that played in my opinion a soft schedule.

st joe's will be out in the 2nd round, thanks to charlotte

 

[Journeyman]

Of course they won`t be favored but don`t count them out either..if they were coming in as an unheralded 6-7 seed...everyone would love them...They have some quality wins....Ok State is everyone`s dream team this year...And they even had some iffy performances...I don`t think they will win the thing but I think they are dangerous...It will be curious to see how the oddsmaker handles them...It seems everyone is giving them no chance, but I have seen where Xavier is somehow a live threat to go deep..Well St.Joe`s handled Xavier earlier too...One bad game is all they had, and its not there fault what conference they play in...I remember Rhode Island a few years back doing well, and UMass and Temple...I will have to pull for them now as they are getting no respect...

St. Joseph's weakness was exposed before the Xavier game. They can be had by big teams inside. Looking forward to the 2nd round imo. neither Charlotte nor Texas Tech has the inside game to beat the Hawks, all 3 are perimeter teams. Wake Forest a possible sweet 16 opponet, most likely will be the downfall of St Joes with their strong interior game, if not the Deacons, then they will be doomed if they meet Ok. St in the elite 8 round.

I like St Joe's but I do not believe they will make it to the FINAL 4...

Sweet 16-YES
Final 8- MAYBE
Final 4- NO

I hate those guys.

It will be very tough for St Joe`s to beat Wake...WF has great guards and they are big inside, that will probably be the game that gets them....

Chris Paul is sensational! I love the little guy, he is a great kid too...

Wake is dangerous!

Hey Big Guy,

Put your money where your mouth is...

My wife is dangerous too, lol...

Chris Paul is the best ACC freshman pointguard since Phil Ford ! The Wake guards can flat out play baby!

how did I get crossed around and now I`m propping Wake? This was suppose to be a thread for some St. Joe`s love ...

Journeyman,

Now you sound like Dick Vitale!!!

Uyyyy Vayyyy...

 

[Journeyman]

Funny you say that Shrink...I was thinking the same thing...

Seriously though Paul is AWESOME...Many great young pointguards in the ACC...
