Big East March ‘26 Thread

Hopkins plays a lot better after a season under Pitino. He has cut out the most egregious selfish behavior.

 

[Hurleyman216]

Seton Hall just has no inside game at all. Their big guys play hot potato anytime they get position inside which just leaves their guards having to make crazy circus shots. They shot it like an NBA team from 3 against us of course, but their offense is difficult to watch.

Ruben Prey has a lot of game, he just hasn't been given the opportunity to showcase it at St. John's.

 

[Trudy Gay]

They’ve allowed a few open threes, but St. John’s perimeter defense has still been very strong overall.

UConn tends to sag or play off at the three-point line—maybe they’re worried about getting beat (or scouting report).

The threes they have gotten, they’ve missed tonight. They shot what? Almost 60% vs us? They just look a lot worse overall against the Johnnie’s.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Very frustrating that Seton Hall goes 0 for a million against Georgetown, shoots out of their mind against us, and then right back to bricklayers against St. John's when we need the help.

 

[Kolumbo]

Hall is only 0-5 from 3. They were 9-18 against us. Let's pick up the pace here guys. Snipers go to work

 

[superjohn]

The Pirates keep shooting themselves in the foot. Just get the damn ball down low to Hines.

 

[Dibbie]

Of course S McCray missing everything tonight

 

[superjohn]

These two teams really play some gross basketball. I can't wait for UConn to face out of conference teams two weeks from now.

 

[Trudy Gay]

This is some hideous basketball

 

[gsmooth]

Seton Hall got lucky there. That looked clean by Darling.

 

[RuffRuff]

Hall was never going to win this one without hitting a 3. Put a fork in this one. Willard is BECOY, not giving it to a coach of a 10-10 BE team.

 

[superjohn]

Seton Hall has been absolute garbage all game. I'm honestly pretty sick of them as a program, they play a gross style of basketball and always play out of their minds against us.

 

[Kemba15]

Hall 0-26 from 3 combined vs. Georgetown and St. John’s tonight so far. 9-18 vs. us. Can’t make it up lol

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Seton Hall should consider NIL deals from this group

International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers

 

[Hamms30]

this would lock us in at the 2 seed for the tourney regardless, right? Time to go ticket hunting

 

[FightOnCT]

Seton Hall was bricking their threes in the warmup before our game, I’m hardly surprised they can’t hit the ocean tonight.

No offense, basically have to rely on getting the magic touch on a random game

#2 seed for the Big East Tournament, yes. UConn can still get the #1 seed for the NCAAT.

 

[Marat]

Maybe SHU gets SJU IN THE BET

Looks like UConn could get Marquette two games in a row - set up to play winner of PC & Marquette.

 

[BugsyCT]

That screaming Hall fan needs therapy. Rough season for him.

 

[sdglast]

That pretty much ended Seton Hall's chances to make the tournament without having to win the Big East Tournament.

 

[Mets1432]

Crazy how team's become the Monstars against Uconn then turn into pumpkins. I full expect to get Marquette's best shot tomorrow afternoon.

 

[CTBasketball]

See you all Thursday night at the Mecca.

That is a not an exciting.prospect.
