I'd be very disappointed if SJU doesn't beat Pitt. They are 3-7 and look terrible. DePaul and NU seems like a toss up to me.

St. John's has not lost a game it should have won. Pitt may actually turn out to be the worst non-conference opponent they face.

Half the teams we've played (5/10) are worse than #254 Pitt. Look at their last 4 games... lost vs Minnesota by 1, lost at Virginia by 1, beat Colgate by 3 (with their best player in, who DNP against St. John's), and lost to Monmouth by 4 (we beat by 5).
Yes, they're not good, but they're nowhere close to our worst opponent... it's just that our schedule is awful. I expect we'll be favored by 12-14, but nowhere close to a team like like Mississippi Valley St who we were favored by 40 points.
Anyway, great for the Big East winning this again. Hopefully next year St. John's can contribute. Also worth noting the Big East beat Cincy, who soon will be P5.

And BYU who also will be P5.

Ah good point... thought I was forgetting someone but only looked at the other 2 AAC teams.
Also wanted to point out that Minnesota is ranked #35 and Virginia #103 (the two teams Pitt recently lost to by 1 point). We should definitely beat them, but we also shouldn't downplay them as the worst team on our schedule.

Right. So 2-1 vs those- Butler lost to Houston of course. (no shame in that, Houston has a real good team).
