Early Husky/ Storm Talk

They just destroyed Marquette on the glass 50-28. We can’t allow that to happen, they win games shooting 18% from 3. We will need serious toughness Friday.

That pressure they use is pretty solid and they attack the lane with speed and aggression. They also foul almost every second and dare the refs to call it. Hurley may get a lot of press over his antics but Pitino is up there.

In my opinion arguing with the referees over calls is a form of cheating.

Realistically all coaches do it. Hurley is more demonstrative. Pitino relies on well placed words and glares. K covered his mouth and cussed a storm.

This SJU team reminds me of some of Cooleys PC teams. Or Pitt/Cincy back in the day. A good tough BE team.

Tough team that won’t do squat in the NCAAT bc they get away with a ton more than what should be allowed. They would have been playing their 8-13 player a lot if this were an SEC game or many other conferences. Tennessee/ISU/Houston are similar but with better offense.


Also, Gold on MU is pretty horrid against any decent team.

Call me naive. I think the tougher game was the one we just won. I think we match up particularly well against this St John’s team. Pack the paint make the brick layers beat us from deep. They won’t be able to match our efficiency. I think we roll(knocks on wood).

On the road is definitely tougher, but we're not going to shoot 60% from 3 again.

Packing the paint has been the antithesis of our defense, so it would require a pretty big scheme adjustment. Hopefully we're able to institute it in this extra time off.

We definitely won’t. We also won’t turn the ball over 25 times or be out shot by 20 shots haha. I’m interested to see if Liam is limited at all
