..that any team running the Princeton can get killed when the FG % takes a turn for the worst. They got killed by St. John's 63-45!!
The Princeton offense really seems to give even greater variability to college games...

amazing!
How overrated is NC State? (and the ACC for that matter)
Hats off to the Johnnies, cant help but root for other BE bottom feeders, especially ones tied to our history so much.

To add some color, NC State shot 20.6% from the field, including 2-24 (8%) from three!! That must make some of the Hoyas' off-games look great...

any time the best point guard in the acc is held scoreless you are going to have problems

Holy god, that''s the worst thing I ever saw. I actually paid to see this game, but bailed at the last minute for other activities. Poor NC State. Several factors had to be at work here - SJU is slighly better than we thought (they still suck, though), NC State is WAY worse than they thought, and God hates the wolfpack. Julius Hodge should have walked out of the arena at half time, gotten on the 2/3 train to Harlem, gotten into bed, and gone to sleep.

Completely unreported fact...
The Big East is 5-1 this season against the "best conference in all of history" -- the ACC.
Looking forward to adding to that total in the postseason.

and for those who claim that the Big East gets fat in the non-conference by feasting on soft schedules... that's true.
But among all conference the almighty ACC collectively plays the 11th strongest out of conference schedule in the country, out of 31 conferences. Despite the show of the ACC/Big 10 (non)challenge, and the marquee Duke matchups, there's a whole lot of soft underbelly in that conference.

It is not the princeton offense, but more a less a sign of how mediocre N.C. State is, and overrated the ACC is. Wake Forest lost worst to Illinois than we did. If you look at there squad, except for Julius Hodge, who on their team really scares you from an offensive or defensive standpoint. Certainly not Tony "my numbers and skills have dropped although I have more access to N.C. states gym than I did at Georgetown" Bethel.
The Princeton offense is not the same for every team. Each squad that runs it has its own derivative of it. Princeton Office, Central Connecticut State defense, West Bubble man-to-man press, whatever the case may be, I just want a G'Town squad that has success on AND off the court. JTIII is the man to lead in us in that direction.
