March madness round two Sunday

[Trudy Gay]

This is a hideous game

 

[Scoe]

Johnnie's are still in control of this game despite the horrid shooting.

 

[blkknight1]

First team to 45 wins?

 

[Dibbie]

Some of the ugliest plays and shots you’ll ever see

 

[uconngb]

This is HORRIFIC basketball

 

[REB1094]

St Johns has gone away from EVERYTHING offensively that has got them here. Disgusting basketball, but their defense is clamping down. They have no business leading in this game but here we are

It’s a physical one for sure

What an awful basketball game. They look like they don’t belong in this thing😂

 

[Scoe]

Peterson has to take over you get fouled you gotta stay down on the ground and take your time getting up pace yourself and drive Pitino crazy.

Flory is a really good rim protector and Tiller is a bigger 4 than they face in the Big East. Close to 6’11. Kansas is tough to score on inside (which is why they beat Arizona), the weakness is against good shooting teams.

 

[firstnline]

Johnnies defense at the 3 pt line has been tight. Not many 3 pt opportunities for Kansas.

 

[uconn1999]

Played total of 5 minutes in 2 B12 tournament games

Each win unit is $2 million for the conference. I don’t get rooting against our interests.

Yeah, Nova already did nothing with the few bids BE had

In all fairness, that’s what St John’s does best, ugly basketball that wears everyone down

 

[ninety-nine]

I'm trying to think big picture and pull for St. John's because it's good for the Big East if our programs do well, and Pitino won't be there long-term so they're in win-now mode anyway. It feels vaguely like a mindfulness exercise.

 

[aceboon]

St Johns pressure just breaks the mind of these basketball players, so many dumb decisions by KU in this first half

 

[Ripper32]

SJU wears you down though. Typical Rick Pitino staple. Conditioning and aggression.

 

[huskyjawz]

St John's 7-23 from 3 or 30%. Ugly, but that's enough.

 

[BigTenFan]

Kansas runs their offense like Kentucky- very poorly

 

[uconn1999]

Hopkins mugged and no foul. I wonder why they even have refs

 

[REB1094]

Extraordinary ending to the first half for St John’s. They let Kansas back in it by going on a cold spell but dominated the last few minutes

8 point lead at halftime. They have to be feeling good despite that hilarious Hopkins turnover at the end lol

 

[uconn1999]

KU throws up so many bricks

 

[JungleLobo]

Say all you want about beauty, Big East up 8 and closer to another $2m at the half.

St John’s has a way about their play that is tough to adjust to

 

[Ripper32]

Not sure if Kansas has the strategy nor mental toughness to win this. They really should be pounding the ball inside.

 

[Gurleyman]

Someone should tell Kansas that this isn’t diving or gymnastics - degree of difficulty isn’t important.

It's not the smartest crew in here.

 

[KingAG]

Kansas is awful right now

KU throws up so many bricks

Yeah like St John’s doesn’t. lol

There's bitterness because they have owned us 4 out of the 5 meetings and taken the BE regular season and tourney the last 2 years.

Everyone here would be rooting for St John's if they lost to us the last 2 years.

It's like people here act like St John's took their girl from them. It's like they try to come up with things to make themselves feel better saying St John's isn't a tournament when they clearly are.
