St. John's 63 at St. Joe's 61

3/20
Charlotte at Providence

[Hoops]

Boy what a come back and thrilling ending to the St. Johns game last night. Those kids from St John's can jump out of the building and really ground it out to beat St Joe at the buzzer. Good win for them.

Providence 75 Charlotte 66

[James]

Both teams playing today for a place in the quarter finals

Providence with a very winnable game at home against Robert Morris.
SJU have a tougher ask though, travel to take on #1 seed Virginia.

[yorost]

I think Providence is tomorrow, but St. John's is on ESPN this morning. Not bad for a. Sunday NIT game.

[TrueBlueJay]

Go St. John's!

Side note, is it ok to call them the Johnnies or what is the preferred nickname? I've never liked calling them he Red Storm)

[shupat08]

Perfectly acceptable to refer to them as The Johnnies.

[James]

Most fans prefer the Johnnies or the Redmen over Red Storm. Convincing win for Virginia, we put up a good fight and maybe at MSG we would of had a chance but the Cavs look like they'll be a very good team in the ACC next year. Apologies about the Providence game, I thought today was the 25th.

Providence is up against Baylor tonight in the quarterfinals of the NIT.
