March madness round two Sunday

Can’t get myself to root for SJU even though we get some cash with each win. Concerned we’re going to lose transfers to Pitino given they’ve owned us the last 2 years

You think that’s why transfers choose schools?

He’s become a knock down shooter the last 2 weeks

He is shooting better because he is taking better shots. He was a selfish blackhole that would take terrible shots, but he is getting his points in the system now.
 
Ducking for cover, but I like watching St Johns. They play with such urgency and energy. Mitchell flying around, Hopkins re-emerging as his soph year version, and it’s hard to dislike Zuby.

Bill Self might want to tell Tre White to stop looking off Peterson

That. And he’s just hot. St John’s fans wanted him benched a month ago
 
St. Johns has to get better action by the player whose defender doubles Ejiofor. The guy can't just stand there in the short corner with his thumb up his butt.

Same - they're a very fun team to watch. Mitchell is such a good player - he's basically StJ's version of AJx.

Whether we or anyone likes it or not St. John's looks on point right now.

Ehh. The vast majority didn’t want Hurley fired. That was a small minority.

Everyone at Rupp Rafters wants him gone. They wanted him gone last year.
Expand ...
There was definitely still a minority after 2022, pretty much the same group who has continued to complain this entire season. But the whispers were definitely creeping into some legitimately good posters about moving on by the January rut in 2023
 
I find myself rooting for SJU, but having second thoughts.

I think I’m in the minority in that I always root for in conference teams. Usually that doesn’t mean we have to face them in our bracket, though. Still, I’m hoping SJU beats the crap out of KU and potentially Duke. Always rooted for ‘Cuse, Pitt, Nova and the rest back in the heyday.

Keep in mind that no fans from that program are rooting for us. They hate us

Mitchell and AJax are VERY different

Yet lot's of similarities. Great athletes, defenders, play above the rim, change the game without scoring.

Poor shooters.

I am not rooting against St. John's, but I know a lot here are.

Later Edit: I won't exactly be crestfallen if St. John's loses either. I am not sure UConn gets the fan support from the other Big East teams.

Self is pissed beacsue St. John’s is getting away with what they do in the Big East. Holding guys like crazy. Normally tournament refs should be calling that.

Ajax at least made fts lol. But AJax was more of a point forward. Excellent passer.

Mitchell is more of just an athlete
 
So many here put the anti jinx on St John's, saying their not a tournament team, they look like they can beat the Knicks right now.

I’m very confident they’d run Duke right now
