NCAA Tournament Saturday (Day 3) Thread

[uconngb]

Well as usual it’s up to us

SJU folding like a cheap tent

 

[mike012]

St. John’s was who we thought they were. A figment of BE refs

 

[boog204]

SJU shooting 28% and 2/18 from 3

 

[blkknight1]

Sju feeling the pressure. You can tell their guys haven't been in this situation before and it shows.

 

[EnochRoot]

Wow out of that timeout St Johns has been crap.

 

[aceboon]

Luis has played poorly but you got to at least give him a shot to close here, especially with no Richmond

 

[superjohn]

Total self destruction

 

[EnochRoot]

LOL did they take his wallet too?

 

[Tommyboy]

When they couldn’t tie it, that was it.

 

[Kolumbo]

Squid looks like he's gonna barf

 

[RuffRuff]

StJ not even losing this one because Arkansas played well, they just stunk. What an egg this one was. To not have your best player in during crunch time is wild.

 

[Tex-Lager93]

Feel free to drop by Storrs on the way home for some humble pie, Slick.

 

[adrock7]

Funny how ordinary SJU looks when they call fouls.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Not that I don't want the Big East to be successful, particularly against the SEC, but I'd be quite pleased if St. Johns leaves with a loss before we do (if we do ).

 

[EnochRoot]

I don’t get why he’s not turning to Luis here. It’s like how Calhoun used to bench Stanley Robinson. I mean, yeah sure tough love, but let’s get a little perspective here.

 

[UCfor3]

Think Rick will wave to Storrs on his way home?

 

[Tommyboy]

Luis on the bench is Crazy. Unless he is just checked out mentally

 

[gsmooth]

Can't shoot. Bad foul shooting. Luis on bench. Yikes.

It's a bad game for RJ Luis A great player like him would like to forget this very quickly. He reminds me of a more athletic McNeeley with his forcing shots.

 

[Dibbie]

We need a 1 v 8 upset or the Big East is done

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Weird the Luis is not playing. Luis' whole game was pretty weird.

 

[BRS24]

Luis has played poorly but you got to at least give him a shot to close here, especially with no Richmond

Ok, so hubby is watching St J, and I'm watching WBB, so what gives with him not getting PT?

 

[uconngb]

If it wasn’t Calipari on the other side I would be SOOOOOOOO happy

 

[FortTheEad]

I hope Pitino and Co. don't forget to wave goodbye as they pass Storrs.

NY media was planning the parade route for St. John’s all week.

 

[IndyLives]

UConn needs to get out of the Big East once and for all. All these teams do is beat each other up in the regular season and then lose to more athletic and skilled teams in the Tournament. But, the biggest reason by far will be NIL money. It's just going to be a negative virtuous cycle going forward.

Luis was unplayable. Moment was way too big for him.

Post game should be interesting.

 

[uconnblueinky]

Well, at least St John's made it to the Jimmy Fallon show

 

[lateralous]

This made last nights game against OU look like a Picasso. Red Storm totally choked but the refs made this unwatchable.

 

[Marat]

If #10 Arkansas can beat #2, why can't we win tomorrow?

 

[EnochRoot]

Luis was unplayable. Moment was way too big for him.

He was having a bad game, but he was still their best option.
