BET Non UConn Games

[Ctedgeman]

The only thing that will make me happier than Creighton still not winning a BE title is if someone on St. John's dunks it on Neal's head with 1 second left.

 

[SwingDog]

Pitino just isn't likeable.

 

[superjohn]

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

That's kind of the goal.

 

[3rdbass]

Yeah at least Creighton will now be 0-4 in Championship games. Creighton looks totally gassed and can't compete. Glad to see Neal with an airball. Karma is a B*****.

 

[jibsey]

That's kind of the goal.

I wonder with Hurley seeing this how that changes who he gets next year. We need muscle, toughness and quickness.

 

[ecasadoSBU]

The 1st half was horrible. But then Johnnies turned on like a light switch. Insane!

Shooting 53% from the 3pt. If they can do this in the NCAA this team is scary.

Crazy how quickly they can turn things around

 

[mussels]

St Johns 53% from three.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

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.

Using the word “honesty” to describe Pitino might be the craziest thing ever said on this board. He’s a legitimately bad guy. He’s what people think Calipari is. Great coach though.

 

[alphasigko]

I got the Johnnies at +2200 last week. Slick Rick wants it badly, and they are a damn good team.

 

[BugsyCT]

Yeah at least Creighton will now be 0-4 in Championship games. Creighton looks totally gassed and can't compete. Glad to see Neal with an airball. Karma is a B*****.

Plus they'll always be the road team at MSG. Especially in a final when other schools' fans have sold off their tickets after getting knocked out.

 

[superjohn]

I wonder with Hurley seeing this how that changes who he gets next year. We need muscle, toughness and quickness.

Yep, he's smart so he will fix it but unfortunately he doubled down on more skilled slight guys with the freshman class. He needs to bring in like 3 or 4 quick, athletic, tough guys in the portal.

That's why we need to keep Abdou Toure home the following year.

 

[Excalibur]

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

Val needs to fire every official who has officiated a conference game this year.

 

[Kolumbo]

BJs got the early jump but looks like BJ givens

 

[superjohn]

I got the Johnnies at +2200 last week. Slick Rick wants it badly, and they are a damn good team.

What you just saw is the thing that could keep them from going on a run...Kadary barely grazing the rim on a ft. If they can make ft's they can win the whole thing but it's a big if.

 

[superjohn]

Using the word “honesty” to describe Pitino might be the craziest thing ever said on this board. He’s a legitimately bad guy. He’s what people think Calipari is. Great coach though.

He's amazing for the sport though. I kind of love the guy because everyone knows what he is and he knows what he is. Best thing Johnnies ever did was hire him. Amazing coach.

 

[BugsyCT]

So is Pitino cool with playing us at MSG now or does he still want us on their campus?

 

[superjohn]

I was bummed at how we played last night but I honestly didn't care much because I knew we would've been Creighton tonight.

 

[jostar1]

I'm glad Creighton lost.

 

[Marat]

I don't mind if SJU goes far in the Tourney, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Every time I rooted for a Big East ream outside of us they would fall short in the past. I think they could get to a final four, but that is probably their ceiling.

 

[superjohn]

My buddy's description of this Johnnies team- An absolute killer in Luis surrounded by a bunch of Dobermans with a god damn Mafia don on the sidelines.

 

[fatlucy]

st Johns is legit.

 

[fatlucy]

I was bummed at how we played last night but I honestly didn't care much because I knew we would've been Creighton tonight.

We sucked last night

 

[gsmooth]

He's amazing for the sport though. I kind of love the guy because everyone knows what he is and he knows what he is. Best thing Johnnies ever did was hire him. Amazing coach.

Yup. I applauded the hire in 2023 while the NCAAT was going on. It wasn't a matter of it St John's was going to comeback, but when. This is great for the Big East.

I would love to know Hurley 's thoughts as he was watching St. John's defeated Creighton.

 

[prankster]

Val needs to fire every official who has officiated a conference game this year.

Ummm
...

Fire their boss, John Cahill.

And you could fire Ackerman, as well....

They have earned it.

 

[ecasadoSBU]

Now... all we need is for Jay Wright to say "retirement is good. but time to get back in the biz" and return to Villanova.

One can dream, right?

Hurley, Pitino, Wright. Oh man. That would be epic for the Big East

 

[Scoe]

Using the word “honesty” to describe Pitino might be the craziest thing ever said on this board. He’s a legitimately bad guy. He’s what people think Calipari is. Great coach though.

Over a guy who tries to act smug and classy yeah I prefer an a hole who calls it like it is. If you can coach that's all that matters, what you or anyone else thinks of Pitino doesn't matter if your not in a jail cell you will coach.

 

[CaptainRon]

Ummm
...

Fire their boss, John Cahill.

And you could fire Ackerman, as well....

They have earned it.

And then? We’d have beat St John’s? Hmmm

 

[storrsroars]

Somebody's got to represent, and if X is out and UConn, Creighton and Marquette are all 8 seeds, SJU is probably the only one making it through the 1st weekend.

 

[Scoe]

Yup. I applauded the hire in 2023 while the NCAAT was going on. It wasn't a matter of it St John's was going to comeback, but when. This is great for the Big East.

So that's how you beat Creighton.

 

[How Sway?!]

With Auburn and Alabama both losing in the Semis, is there any chance St John's gets the last 1 seed?
