Georgetown vs. St. John's 2/25/85 Player Introductions

[FRSFreeStatePlus]

Best rivalry in the Big East in the 1980's, they were like the Redskins-Giants.

[TheEsquire212]

St. Johns. I was a fan from this year (I was 6 and this was one of my earliest memories along with B. King's knee injury a month later) until Sealy left.

Twenty years and counting, I'm still trying to figure out why St. John's is the only team in the Big East based here in NYC but does the WORST JOB out of them all recruiting NYC (throw in how well Pitt DOES recruit here and how Boeheim doesn't even bother -- mostly Philly kids for him) and it's even more shameful.

@TheEsquire212 St Lavin is starting to get some to stay and play for St Johns.

[jrussell04]

the big east at it's finest!

[ectigers83]

That was the greatest era in college basketball history since the 1970's. Even the Great UCLA teams [with all due respect to Legendary and Great John Wooden] did not have the comradery as the Big East Wars produced. St Johns were bigger than the Knicks in those days. Someone asked what happed to them. I actually asked that question since like '94.

[jrn2121]

Listen to the crowd! What the hell happened to St. Johns?

[DudeRoss72]

Man! I remember being a young kid and the Biggest GTown fan ever! I loved this era of Big East Basketball! The excitement and the rush of these battles were just thrilling during the Big East Power hold on the college basketball scene. I did't have cabel so I would watch the sorry ass Knicks to get the scores and update. I remember this was the biggest game going at the time! No one even cared that the NBA was playing that night! GTown Forever! We still miss you Michael Graham!!!

[smo699]

SJU needs to take their conservative asses out of their heads and recruit top notch players - who cares if they leave early, it's publicity for us!

[UltimatePeteMaravich]

How sweet was this...Mullin still one of the best college shooters there ever was.

[briansvoice]

[adam3172]

Makes me want to cry when I think about how far SJU has fallen. :(
