Fanta and Marshall ruining the BE coverage

if Donny says "three ball from the corner pocket" one more time I might throw up

 

[HuskyHawk]

Johnnies obviously trying to become gentrified!

It is surprising that any St. Johns grad would make enough to live in CT.

 

[blkknight1]

Sounds like the providence fans outnumber the Johnnie’s fans in msg today.

 

[huskdogs]

know it is bad when you can get into Legends and can get a seat on the train.

The real indicator to me though was seeing people in St Johns gear on Metro North in CT. Been going to the garden for the ST Johns game for a long time (even at Alumni Hall) but that was the first time I saw any St Johns gear in CT

If it’s us and STJ on Saturday there is really no excuse for UConn to not have the majority of the fans in the building.

The Johnnies came ready to play today

 

[BugsyCT]

PC finally showing a pulse

 

[MJKI]

PeeCee getting their teeth kicked in right now. Sellers about the only thing going for them. Oswin getting worked by Zuby and the fan base has re-turned on Vaaks after his game yesterday.
Sellers has enough wiggle and skill that I could see him carving out a Jordan Clarkson type role in the NBA

 

[temery]

And you weren’t??

Not one bit, in fact I was hoping to play them again.

Getting beat 19-8 on rebounds, 9 offensive and turning the ball over 6x before the 7 minute mark is basically saying, here you go StJ.

They are such a beatable team. Force them to actually make shots without giving them free shots and they will lose.

PC is making it easy for SJ basically going one on one every possession. Telegraphing passes no ball movement

 

[80shusky]

I was hoping PC might have a little magic in them just for fun after losing their coach. Especially after their offensive performance last night. Still a half to go but it doesn't look good so far.

Yep. Very undisciplined offense which is attributed to the head coach. English will not be missed by PC fans.

 

[Stinger92860]

Why on God’s green Earth would you ever be scared of a 19 loss team, even including the loss?

Could it possibly be the because of the UConn team that showed up on March 7th for chance to be co-winner of the BE regular season title.

I expect us to come out on fire, but I thought the same on Saturday. We are doooooomed.

 

[Shamon30]

Any way to see this outside of Sling/Fubo?

 

[superjohn]

Vaaks is crazy man.

 

[HCCForever]

Darling with no points so far is surprising to me. 0 for 8.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

SJU has outshot PC 74-51 with 3min left.

 

[gsmooth]

With a busy day at work I had this Providence-St. John's game recording and promised myself I wouldn't Google the score or look at this thread so I could watch it later without knowing the result. I caved by Googling it at different points in the game. I saw the game started out as 20-5, St. John's and now it's a 24 pt deficit. It looks like I can watch a few minutes and then hit "Delete Recording". Oh well.

Cool story I told, I know. I am disappointed. I wanted a close competitive game.

PC outshooting SJU while losing by 15 and being outrebounded by 20(!!) tells you all you need to know.

St. John’s isn’t a bad team, and they’re scrappy but everybody makes it so easy for them. They do not have a real offense.

Darling lit us up first time around and since the last time they played PC he has been basically a non-factor.

 

[storrsroars]

It's hard to not like Zuby.

So, is Vaaks gonna be wearing national flag blue next year?

 

[Deepster]

One of my favorite Big East traditions.....

The Ed Cooley Express - The Thursday afternoon train filled with PC fans heading home after another early round BET loss.

I had this very same selfish thought last night.

Nope, and this is what will kill Pitino in the tourney again. You have to execute an offense in the tourney.

 

[CashewCrew]

Vaaks is crazy man.

I want him

A volume shooter with questionable defense? Aren't we already kind of unsure about how that sort of guy fits the scheme?

 

[HooperScooper]

How long before PC announces English is gone? Before the bus reaches Providence? Some time later today after the bus stops in Providence? First thing tomorrow morning? The announcement has already been written so you know it's not going past then.

 

[superjohn]

He creates his own shot off the dribble, can shoot it from anywhere, and has great size. We don't have anyone like that.

 

[ArizonaHsky]

I want him

Any chance he goes pro?

 

[RuffRuff]

No
