Big East February '26 Thread

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.

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.

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

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

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

Carroll, however, is definitely not one of them. He has looked horrible handling the ball here in the late stages and overtime. He has been stripped at least 3 times if not 4 starting with the last possession of regulation. He is single-handedly killing Xavier's chances at the upset.

 

[Marbles90]

Someone should tell Carroll to stop the right handed crossover between his legs. That is 3 times in a row he lost the ball on that move.

 

[RitzLuce1]

What an absolutely pathetic conference. WWE style officiating. I’m annoyed Hurley is “tame” this year in regards to it. He should be using his postgame presser to excoriate it and the league. Shame them. Instead he seems afraid to get fined which is lame.

Would love to experience even one game getting this kind of whistle.

 

[KingAG]

a long fade away 2 there is such a boneheaded decision

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Wow horrible decision making down the stretch of both regulation and OT for Xavier. A gift win for STJ.

 

[blkknight1]

Xavier panicked at the end of regulation and OT.

 

[superjohn]

I knew this was going to happen again this season when they were dropping out of conference games. St. John's is so annoying, they stink it up out of conference and then they're allowed to get away with so much in conference and they beat everyone.

 

[Kolumbo]

sju with 28 free points on 68% ft shooting. x committed 30 fouls!

I didn't watch the game so I can't opine but something smells rotten

 

[karstenkibbe]

41 FTs for Team Pitino Sr.
17 for X

This is ridiculous. Come on, Val. You’re gonna get run out of your job, hopefully, like you did from the WNBA.
