Haha I think it's hilarious Gottlieb has to sit though a DePaul / St. John's game!

I fully expect Temple to knock off 'Nova tonight. Fran calling the game? Weird. He is to the Big 12 what Ed Werder is to Dallas (or Sal Paolantonio to Philadelphia)!

Two things. I think Gottlieb is a location thing. With #1 playing they needed a better crew, so great pick having Fran Fraschilla.

Halftime*
St. John's 31 DePaul 24

St. John's gets their first win. SHU up 42-34 over Gtown with 17 minutes left in the 2nd half.

Georgetown crowd looking very DePaul-ish tonight. They should be embarrased.

I hate to play the "what if" game, but MU would be in a tie for 4th in the loss column if they hadn't blown the end of that Creighton game, after tonight's results. Ouch

Not to mention that DePaul game.
