How about the play with just under a minute left in the game where Tarris goes to grab a rebound and a player from Seton Hall pokes the ball out of his hands from behind him, and the ref says it was out on Tarris??

Tough loss for the Hoyas. A controversial call at the end of regulation that was ruled no basket was like pouring salt on a wound for them.

The officiating was poor and inconsistent. If you're going to call a lot of fouls how do you (for example) NOT call a foul on Silas's three point attempt with 8:07 left where he was very obviously fouled?? There were a few other non-calls that were costly for the Huskies as well.

Agreed. Looked rather shaky there. We really haven't seen that nearly as much as last season, but it did rear it's ugly head.

Hurley and his Huskies have certainly had this game circled on their calendar and have had ample time to prepare for it. (I'm not just referring to the couple of days since the DePaul game.) UConn has the right mix of players, and they're due to win one at the Prudential Center. Overall...

I really thought Creighton would be a lot tougher at home. They got punked by St. John's today. They got outrebounded by 13 and allowed St. John's to shoot 12-23 from the 3-pt line. St. John's 90 Creighton 73

English: "We knew had an advantage offensively with Duncan at the 5. We knew could get that pick-and-pop 3 anytime." Reporter: "Can you talk about how hard it is to guard those shooters off the sets that they run?" English's response to this question at 7:13 is interesting. Some of it seems to...

I enjoyed the podcast. I loved hearing Tarris talk about his ups and downs, life, and his Christian faith.

The Nittany Lions come within a hair of knocking off Michigan but fall just short. 74-72

He actually brought this up in post-game presser. He said he prides himself on being a tough defender as a bigger guard but acknowledged that occasionally he gets beat and has to learn to be able to live with it rather than committing what I would call the "frustration foul."

Maybe as sharp as a butter knife, but enough to get the W on the road vs. St. John's. They deserve some credit. The real point is you can't take any team lightly.

They will definitely need to play better on Wednesday. Providence looked pretty sharp in their win versus St. John's and will be hyped for this matchup.

Not a very pretty game, though there were with some bright spots with different players stepping up (particularly Silas on offense), showcasing the team's depth. The bottom line is it goes in the win column. It can't be emphasized enough that this team has play with purpose, energy, and focus...

Another blowout. 🥱

Should be a doozy of a post game presser from Pitino.
