National media like Norlander acting like the 72-40 blowout was the end of St Johns season and they might not win another game was funny.

Yeah I said at the time that it was a dumb take by Norlander. Lots of writers embrace hyperbole.

Hyperbole creates storylines & debate. What do you think 90% of ESPN is?

St. John's playing very well. Seton Hall hanging in there, down 8 at half.

So you're saying the media lies to get clicks? No duh.

Embellishes, sensationalizes.

Johnnies starting to pull away

I wonder if Holloway accepts an NIT or Crown offer to keep playing. Last time they went deep into the postseason winning the NIT title and didn't have as much time to put a roster together, which led to the 7 win season. He's got alot of spots to fill again.

 

[HooperScooper]

Seton Hall is a rough watch. They’re scrappy and they play hard but they just don’t have offensive talent. Tough to win a lot of games like this.

 

[Travelman6]

Shall 0-7 vs the top 3 BE teams this year unless they have a huge comeback in the last 10 minutes. 1-10 vs the other 5 teams in the top 6 of the BE too. They feasted on the bottom 5.

 

[Marat]

Our game will not start at 8pm.

Good point.

Seton Hall's whole season they get down huge, make a furious run to get back in it and fall short. You can't win at this level just playing hard junk ball. He needs to get some players with offensive talent.

One of the reasons I found the CPOY should have been Willards. It wasn't hard to mop up on the bottom feeders of the BE this year.

 

[FightOnCT]

If I’m being honest, there wasn’t a deserving COTY this year outside maybe Willard. I like Sha, but cannot ignore the fact that he just whiffed against every tourney bound team (there are 3) and he’s headed for the Crown.

 

[Scoe]

Really don’t like SH playing us to the bone throwing games against St John’s now using fake hustle effort to look like they’re not throwing this game and having us wait. Give it up SH your done.

Tip time?

It works...as we can see

Tip time?

 

[JungleLobo]

#10 matchup followed by #11 to reach the final.

#2 seed has its perks.

I hope it works out well for them

FS1 always has to show an incorrect graphic…said our best and only notable win is BYU

Mod note: this thread is not gonna be turned into yet another bitching session about referees.

UConn won. They play St. John's tomorrow. The dance starts in a week. Leave it alone.

My only complaint about the refs tonight was that lame double technicals call. WTF was that? Nobody did anything. Just let it go.

Of course super St. John disliked this
