00:00So, College Basketball, last year St. John's didn't make the tournament.
00:05From what you've seen of them so far and what Patino has, does that end and they make it
00:10this year?
00:11I think they'll make it, but there's no guarantee.
00:14The Big East did not have a great non-conference, so the number of bids that will be available
00:20to the league will probably be pretty limited.
00:23So you're going to have to finish in the top three or four of the league to feel good about
00:27having a chance.
00:28I think they certainly can.
00:30They showed a little bit of struggle early on trying to sort of adapt to Patino's demands,
00:38to alignment situations.
00:40They brought in two point guards and weren't really sure whether to play them together
00:45or how it would work.
00:46I think they're starting to figure that out a little bit better and starting to perform
00:50better.
00:51But you've got to watch, if you're St. John's right now, you've got to watch for Creighton.
00:55Creighton can get a lot better in a hurry.
00:58They struggled early on, but they're still dangerous.
01:01Xavier, Zach Fremantleback, they can get dangerous, as well as Villanova, which is starting to
01:07play better.
01:08All those teams can take a run at one of the three or four bids that likely will be available
01:13to the Big East.
01:14What do you think of Pitt tonight getting 14.5 at Duke?
01:17They're both 12-2.
01:19Yeah, I think that the key for Duke here is they know they only get so many quad one opportunities.
01:26To get Pitt at home, I don't think they'll mess around with this at all.
01:30I think they'll go right after it.
01:32Whether they can cover, that's a big number.
01:35But I think they win.
