Liam would have made a difference there.
St. John's didn't have Deivon Smith for their last game against Xavier, he's a pretty awesome 6th man.
I’m not implying when have to literally shoot that well. I’m talking about our main guys knocking down shots an efficient rate(karaban, ball, McNeeley) , Stewart has been shooting well lately as well. Laugh all you want but we are one of the most efficient teams in the country. This isn’t far fetched.
“Not turn the ball over” doesn’t mean zero turnover. Come on. It means not turning the ball over 25 times.
So when you said the shooting we saw at Marquette you meant shooting far worse than we saw at Marquette.
Let’s not jump the gun - they beat Marquette at home. Marquette is overrated, and slumping. They barely got by PC at home, was down big to Gtown at home. They barely won at PC. I still don’t see what I’d call a signature win, which to me is a top 4 BE team on road. A win Friday could change that narrative.
No it means our shooters hitting shots at a fairly efficient rate. Karaban, Ball , McNeeley and I’ll throw Stewart in with the way he’s been shooting.
The ESPN Predictor gives UConn a 66.3% to win. I have no idea what goes into their analytics but they always seem to have UConn as a higher percentage than the betting spreads would dictate.
I honestly believe we are undefeated in BE play if we had a healthy McNeeley this whole time, but the fact is we haven't had him, so shruggieguy. That being said, I believe we will actually be a stronger team come March because of how other guys (like Ball, Johnson, etc) have had to step up with McNeeley out. Once he returns and shakes off the rust, I truly think we will be primed for another title run. I'm not nearly as confident we can get back to the Final Four as last year, but we have the talent (assuming everyone's healthy) to get back there.

I forgot how impossible it is to have an actual conversation with you.
I’ll ignore the dig and just say touché lol.
Stewart going 3/3 in like 5 minutes entering the game at 33% is a 4% thing.
If you look at his recent game logs. He actually been decent from 3. He doesn’t have to make 2 or 3 in 5 minutes. Just make the one you take. He’s been doing that. His last 5 games he’s 8-13 from 3. Do with that what you will. Going back a couple games further, he had a rough shooting night(0/3) against GTown but was 2-5 against Creighton. Which would make his last 7 game sample size at 10-21, a little under 50% on about 1.5 attempts per game. He’s trending up. Last game wasn’t random.
They’re down 3 starters, their not deep, they just don’t have the talent.
Villanova, Georgetown qualify as little brothers.This is a historic game for that program. Jonnie’s fans already have 5 pages worth of posts on Fridays game. How nice it would be to put little brother back in his place.

Smith needs to get the basket in transition. Their guards have no chance to stop him. We can live with some ugly misses. He’s the most athletic kid on the court every game by a mile and he has to be absolutely relentless stacking the rim before the defense gets set. If Ball is going run off...

Sounds a lot like PeePee if you say it quickly which makes it feel better.
In terms of run to win BE regular season.
