While I think our players are more skilled, SJU's players are clearly quicker and have more length. Plus they push the ball up the court much more than we do; taking advantage of their better athletes.
I didn't know it was possible to be entertained, which is why I watch these games, and have my blood boiling at the same time. This game shows how soft this UConn team is with the exception of Silas and Tarris.
I'm really concerned about these last 4 regular season games. With the way we're playing lately we could lose all 4. I would be shocked if that happens but we need to see the turnaround in play starting today against Nova. St. John's is a horrible matchup for us. Seton Hall will be playing for their tournament lives and Marquette is playing much better later in the season despite their record.
Everyone should remember that the Huskies beat Creighton by 27 only 3 weeks ago. So something happened between then and this past Wednesday. I'm not sure everyone got soft between then and now.
Creighton's D is awful. UConn got good looks from the 11 min mark to the 3 min mark in the 2nd half but just went cold with certain players reluctant to shoot. But it's the defense that has me concerned. I don't think Creighton's offense just went cold-St John's defense is clearly making them uncomfortable in a way that UConn could not.
We scored 84 points, our offense is fine. The question you should be asking is what the hell happened to our defense? We gave up 91 points to a Creighton team that has 38 points today with 8 minutes left in the game.
Big day for you.
