BET Non UConn Games

[RuffRuff]

After watching SJU Marquette now watching Florida Missouri and this SEC game is so SOFT. Playing half speed with soft defense. Not an SEC believer.

Not sure I’d call it soft - top of SEC plays with tons of pace. Those soft teams beat tough Houston twice.

Pitino has created a fun team thats an asset to the conference.

interview first words out of Ejiofor’s mouth ”the coaching staff did a really great job” Johnnies 17 assists on 28 FG.

Agreed. Pitino is an outstanding coach. Could not agree more.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Well see it’s why they call it March Madness, even those Pitt teams they get eliminated committing a dumb foul on Butler who makes a run to the FF, and 2009 losing at the buzzer in the elite 8 against Nova.

Are you saying that even if St John's gets bumped early in the tournament you'll still be correct?

 

[SwingDog]

How is Ejiofor getting away with some many fouls? If he had a UConn jersey on he'd be on the bench with at least 2 already. He's slapping and reaching on Kalkbrenner without even trying to be subtle about it.

 

[huskyjawz]

Wow, this is the first time I'm listening to Gus Johnson in a while. I've read here how annoying he is, but now I know.

 

[BugsyCT]

Can't decide who I want to win less. Both these fanbases are annoying asf (so are we, but at least we've earned our way there).

I'm rooting for St. John's. Maybe the Creighton loss is more fresh in mind. I think I read the Creighton's been to a bunch of finals, but hasn't won it. I'd like to keep it that way.

 

[SwingDog]

St. John's is getting nothing easy on offense. Creighton is contesting everything. The defense on both teams is stellar really.

 

[BugsyCT]

Actually a really good game right now. Johnnies just took the lead after trailing all game.

Sure I just wish UConn had more to do with keeping Creighton without a BET championship.

 

[superjohn]

There's nothing like MSG, holy cr@p is that place loud.

This is a great old school Big East bloodbath title game.

 

[mussels]

Garden is rocking. St Johns home game.

Creighton is 0-4 in BET finals.

 

[superjohn]

I know we hate how UConn is reffed in this league and our current style doesn't exactly fit this conference but this is a great game. It reminds me of the Big East title games in the 90's.

Props to both teams.

 

[superjohn]

Just as I post this the refs take over with a disgusting call.

 

[huskyjawz]

Creighton blinked and St. John's burying them.

 

[DogMania]

BS call.

 

[SwingDog]

There's really no telling how we would do if made it to the championship games because we've been so inconsistent this year but we were in were in all three games against Creighton, and won one and had a good shot at winning the one at home. Versus St. John's we had a legitimate chance to beat them at home, though they beat us handily at MSG. You just never know.

 

[BugsyCT]

Just imagine how bonkers that place would be tonight if it was a stronger UConn team vs. St John's, Pitino vs Hurley.

 

[superjohn]

BS call.

He did what every player in the world does when they make a three pointer. Did that idiot ref think he was making a gang sign or pretending to shoot someone?

Our commissioner won't do anything about it.

 

[SwingDog]

There's Pitino's buddy with the red plaid jacket. lol

 

[Scoe]

I'm pulling for the Johnnies it just feels right, they are a likeable team more so then Creighton. Pitino doesn't even bother me, I prefer his honesty over McDermotts smugness. Hurley take notes on how to beat Creighton.

 

[Blue Blood]

This St Johns team is awesome as someone going to the FF whether UConn makes it or not i hope to see them there assuming we're not in the same region of course

 

[DogMania]

St John just seems to get stronger as the game goes on. I have to admit, they are very impressive. They just seem to wear teams down as they gain momentum and energy.

 

[jibsey]

Hey, they have big strong tough guys that make 1 foot shots.
