This. Just insane.
Xavier: 20 fouls
Team Physicality: 10 fouls

Total joke.

Idk what slick Rick says to the refs to sweet talk them, must be some good stuff

 

[MJKI]

That last call on Carroll was horrendous. That’s happened 14 times already this half and not been called

 

[SwingDog]

Xavier definitely not getting a fair whistle at MSG.

 

[blkknight1]

The St. John’s whistle is a joke at this point. Sucks to have to play the other teams and the refs.

 

[3rdbass]

Xavier showing more physicality out there than us for sure against St. John's.

 

[bendm]

I want SJU to lose again but not to Xavier that doesn’t help us or the BE. I want a borderline Q2 to beat them so they can get bumped up to a Q1 team

 

[SoFla Steve]

Foul discrepancy is now 25-13.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

I want SJU to lose again but not to Xavier that doesn’t help us does it? I want whoever beats them to become a Q1 team. Who’s ranked 77?

I don’t really care. If we take care of our own business from here on out, we will be fine.

 

[TRest]

Don’t take the Johnies in your tourney brackets. That whistle won’t travel.

 

[DCKembaFan]

It's wild how big a foul disparity there is in this game. St. John's knocked a Xavier driver to the baseline with no call then immediately got free throws for a body bump foul on the other end

 

[John]

Don’t take the Johnies in your tourney brackets. That whistle won’t travel.

They’re the NBE version of Pitt.

 

[KingAG]

St. Johns struggling with Xavier. We really were their Superbowl.

We see the best version of everyone in this conference

 

[LStudfellow]

Where the heck was this effort and moxie from Xavier against us? They look like a completely different team in this game, in a good way.

And no, it doesn't bother me that we had a walk over last week, as we haven't had many in conference until the Creighton/Xavier combo. But still... they are showing they have some fight tonight, for sure.

 

[blkknight1]

One of the things you notice about. Xavier they have multiple guys that can handle

 

[huskyharry]

Xavier being absolutely mauled at the rim without any fouls called

Refs really are in Johnnie’s pockets.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Carroll is the kind of selfish player that must be infuriating to play with.

 

[KingAG]

Xavier couldn't get a rebound

 

[Gurleyman]

One of the things you notice about. Xavier they have multiple guys that can handle

Except when they have a chance to win and then they just fall down

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Xavier just blew it. No one wants to beat St Johns.

 

[superjohn]

Richard Pitino has some sort of weird hair system going on. It's different than whatever hair system his dad has been rocking the past 50 years.

They might just matchup well with StJ because they led by 15 in the 2nd half in their first matchup vs them before folding

 

[jibsey]

SJ home game again 37 attempts vs 17 so far. And now will win on fouls prob. Son ain’t happy.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Knew X would run out of fouls in OT

 

[superjohn]

Tre Carroll forgot how to dribble late in this game.

I’m just wondering who’s skin his dad is rocking tonight

 

[JustbrewitMan]

One of the things you notice about. Xavier they have multiple guys that can handle

Post aged well with Carroll committing 3 backbreaking dribbling TOs

 

[Gurleyman]

St. John’s is consistently allowed to put two hands on a dribbler and shove them.

 

[campcalhoun2009]

I love when “tough defense” is just actually “the refs don’t call fouls on us when we blatantly foul”

 

[blkknight1]

Carroll with another untimely lost ball

 

[TRest]

SJ home game again 37 attempts vs 17 so far. And now will win on fouls prob. Son ain’t happy.

See if he has the balls to question it in the presser.
